Doing another route in SRP, 3rd week of running plan
My third week of the running plan at the opposite end of SRP
I’m back to my couch-to-5k running plan after a no training run last week, well except for the ungo run last Friday night. And boy, was it good! It also helped that I also slept early than usual last night at 2200H.
The third week involves two repetitions of the following:
- 90s/90s run and walk
- 3min/3min run and walk
Actually, it’s my first non-stop 3 minute run and at a moderate pace, I did it without stops!
For the route, I took the opposite side of the South Road Properties road that passes over Mananga River and the city hall and terminates at the old highway, the Cebu South Road. Now, it might come as a surprise that I’m doing around 9 minutes per kilometer but actually, the run can be broken down into the following:
- 5 minutes brisk walk
- 1st 90s/90s run and walk
- 1st 3min/3min run and walk
- 2nd 90s/90s run and walk
- 2nd 3min/3min run and walk
- 27 min walk to home
The two repetitions of the run/walk combo actually covers only about 2.2 kilometers from start to the end of the road. The rest of the route, is all walk.

[...] In previous running plan runs, I usually have a longer cool down walk that sometimes take more than 20 minutes at a leisurely pace but this time, wanting to know my actual pace, used a shorter route (top) at about 4 KM along the SRP, an abbreviated version of what I followed during the third week.
