This week seemed to be a bit easier, but in fact it was intensive. I started to have more rest days, so my plan for the future is to have at least 2 rest days each week (but preferably 3). This still means 4 to 5 days of exercise and I will soon start to plan my exercises more thoroughly. My goals in the next weeks are to work on longer runs (to run the whole hour in the near future and possibly 2 hours until the summer) and to speed up. Now I have been running at 8.5 km/h and Iwould like it to be 9 km/h and when summer comes I would like to be able to run at 10 km/h.

As you might have guessed I started to prepare for my first half marathon. As the half marathon I am training for is at the end of October, this will give me plenty of time to build up the stamina and speed. I am also planning to attend some 5 and 10 km runs that will give me some experience in “mass” running events.

Summary of week #13 is:

• 270 minutes (4h 30 min)
• 34.4 km
• 2247 burned calories
