Hi TheEd. Back with an update.
I started the first cycle on Tuesday, here's how it went so far:
Day 1 - 60min running; 9.43km @ 6m:22s/km @ 144bpm avg
Day 2 - Skipped due to heavy rain all day
Day 3 - 5 x 2k, breakdown below(you also have a PM with a link to the Garmin activity)
The reason rest periods are higher than 90s is because I ran on a measured course(1.11km/lap) and I can't get in less than a 2min walk/jog from end of 2nd km to start.
Regarding the knee issue, thanks for the tips. However, I'm not the one having problems, my girlfriend is. I only feel a slight disconfort when running slower than 6m:45s/km.
Would it help if we record ourselves running and send you some videos?
