C-A-S: Experience 4

    Throughout this week, I have continued on with the training list on my spreadsheet for the half marathon I am going to run. I have maintained a great shape throughout the years I have been running, so I tend to push myself a little farther than what the training requires me to do. The first requirement of the spreadsheet tells me to take it light with, I believe, one mile everyday, requiring me to do body workouts, and maintaining a diet. I decided to push myself with 3 to 4 miles every other day since I do not always have the time to do these runs. However, I am able to workout at home everyday and maintain the diet. At the beginning of my run, I used a Running Tracker App for my iPhone to check my speed and pace. During this run, I tried my hardest and pushed myself to the maximum. It was gruesome as I was gasping for air while "sprinting" this mile. When finishing, I saw that my time was roughly six minutes exact. I was proud of myself as I learned that my time has gotten better since the last time I had timed myself. The rest of the run went well, and, after it all, I was exhausted. While running, I learned I had to boost my endurance and learn to increase my strides.

C-A-S: Experience 2

       I have always had a passion for running. I’ve run my entire life, even through the pandemic. Running during the pandemic is important to me because it’s a fun activity and it keeps my mind healthy and my body in great shape. I have always had a dream to run a half-marathon. There are many reasons why I want to run a half marathon and my mom is one of them. My mom has been a role model for me because she’s run innumerable marathons during her life. She has also benefited mentally from it as well which is also another goal of mine. My mom has a Houston Fit Marathon Training guideline that explains what I need to do in order to reach my goal. It will take more than a six months to complete. However, it might take me less time to train for this goal because I’m already in good shape. The spreadsheet consists of running three times a week with a long run on Saturdays. It steadily increasing the amount I am going to run from 3 miles to 12 miles. The schedule also ...

C-A-S: Reflection 2

     Throughout my life, I have always been an aficionado about running. It's been one of my favorite hobbies and my  favorite activity to do when I'm free. Recently, because of the pandemic as well as consistently having injuries every year, such as breaking my left ankle (twice), getting concussions, breaking my toes (three times), etc. it has halted my and reduced my strength and endurance and hindered my ability to run. Thus, I will need to continuously train harder and work out more to attain my goal. In addition, I will also cycle and bike more as a supplement to my training. I would like to increase my endurance and lose some weight to be able to not only run at a faster rate, but also run for a greater amount of time. Just recently, I began to run again and although I am certainly still lean and able to run for   5 kilometers, I certainly would like to carry through more training so that it becomes more easy and less strenuous. I am excited to carry...
