For instance, I set up 5 minutes warm-up, 30 minutes easy run, 5 minutes cool-down—and somehow end up with a 35-minute session. Not dramatic, but messy when you’re trying to keep progression under control. +- My Polar watch, which thinks I’m running all-out even when I’m barely jogging, drives me mad (or maybe it’s just me being too attached to what the watch says). +- Those sudden urges to pick up the pace, even though I know that, at my current level, and especially this early in the process, that’s exactly what I shouldn’t do. +- The training programs on the watch (yes, her again) aren’t ideal.

All fixable. ## What worked well Because not everything went wrong—far from it, actually. - • I’ve stuck to the plan. No skipped sessions (just one delayed by two days, for a good reason), and no extras because I got the itch to run. Two sessions a week, no more, no less. - • I listened to my body. The delayed session came from a slight knee concern—I decided not to push through it and waited to see how it felt. - • I planned my winter training! Maybe a bit premature, but at least I know where I’m going. That’ll help keep me from rushing things. The goal—running an hour comfortably—will come gradually. - • I found my rhythm, both in pace and heart rate. Using my min and max HR, I built a more coherent set of training zones using the Karvonen method—no more running at threshold when I’m supposed to be easy! And for pace, I finally settled into the right endurance tempo. Maybe it’s my school-days habit (I loved the 1000m), but I used to start every run too fast. Now, I’m finally getting that steady rhythm in my legs. - • I built in a recovery week after four uneven ones—I could feel the fatigue creeping in. The idea wasn’t to stop completely, just to do two easy 20-minute sessions on mostly flat terrain (and definitely not accelerate uphill). Nothing more, but nothing less either. +- I’ve stuck to the plan. No skipped sessions (just one delayed by two days, for a good reason), and no extras because I got the itch to run.

If it vibrates every time I go uphill, it ruins the vibe. From now on, I’ll start the watch after the warm-up, set only the desired running time, and cool down with the watch off. - • Stick to the sessions as planned. With structured workouts, I’ve included both endurance and slightly faster runs. The goal is to keep it framed, not random. +- Regarding the watch: I’m ditching the all-in-one programmed sessions with warm-up, endurance, and cool-down tied to heart rate zones.

Still, gotta keep the joy in it. ## For next month I’ll increase the load very gradually—no more than +10% per week: - • Week 1: 2 × 33 min - • Week 2: 2 × 36 min - • Week 3: 2 × 40 min - • Week 4: active recovery — 2 × 30 min, or maybe 3 × 20 min? +- Week 1: 2 × 33 min +- Week 2: 2 × 36 min +- Week 3: 2 × 40 min +- Week 4: active recovery — 2 × 30 min, or maybe 3 × 20 min? Bit by bit, endurance is settling in. Let’s see next month if consistency really pays off.
