Hello,
Newbie here, completed the couch to 5k last year and now running 3 times a week, decided I needed another challenge so got a Garmin 45 and started the 5k plan with Jeff to improve my time.
I've done the benchmark run and did the first cadence run yesterday which threw up a few questions/issues.
I started the workout and set off, should I be pressing the lap button between each section as the drill workout had 10 min warm up, 4 cadence drills of 30 seconds with 30 second walk and then a glide run thing.
I got a bit confused on when the watch beeped at me should I press the buttons or not so not sure I actually logged it correctly although I did do the activity. It then seemed to cut off the repeats on the glider part so maybe I shouldnt have pressed something there?
On the cadence bit I typically labour along at around 26:30ish for a 5k run. I got to close to 25 mins a couple of times and would like to get back to that hence the plan.
On the cadence bit it said aim at 150-200 steps but I had no idea what I was doing speed wise so went (it turns out) way too quick as my cadence was lots of small short steps so I did nearly 200 but was going way too quick I think as I was knackered.................have I done that wrong?
Any tips anyone would be really appreciated.
