Today was the day we chose to do Russell's official "baseline running test". Russell was reluctant to get out the door until later this week, but the threat/promise of snow tomorrow was strangely motivating.
I suggested that instead of trying to figure out a specific distance (e.g.: 3k), we do a loop near our house. An easy loop to replicate in future as a fitness test!
After a 5 minute warm-up in which the dog thankfully pooped so I could drop it home and not carry it (good boy, Brizzy!), we set off.
Total distance: 2.69km
Total time: 21.14min
Average pace: 7.54 min/km
Run Interval # 1: 7.09min 907m, 7.54min/km
Run Interval # 2: 12.44min, 1.66km, 7.42min/km
Brizzy was a lot more settled into the idea of not getting as many sniffs are p-mail stops, but he continues to struggle with the concept of running with humans.
