Finished running for the month of July. Nearly 450 minutes of running in July. I had covered atleast 45 Kms this month. I am having 20-25 minutes as my comfort zone level and always struggling in the last 5 minutes. Let me set some realistic goals for the month of August which I should reach by the end of Aug.

1) To make the comfort zone as 30-35 minutes and to push for 40-45 minutes.
2) Run atleast once a 5K route.
3) Run in the morning no later than 7.15 AM
4) Run atleast 20 days covering a distance of 60 Kms

30 minutes with 18 rounds

Same 30 minutes in the morning. Will push for 35-40 minutes tomorrow.

After a long time I ran in the morning. Didn't do any experiments. Just ran for 30 minutes in the usual park. Struggled a lot with the breath. What is the correct breathing technique ? Inhale through nose and out through mouth ? Breath through the mouth ? Don't open the mouth at all ? I remember my PT teacher in my school used to scold for people opening the mouth while running. He used to shout "Vaaya moodu " and the students respond with "S***tha moodu". Any help here.
In the mornings, a baba with his disciples walk in the track and block the track completely. Every time I have to tell them "Sab, Side disiye Side disiye". Really frustrating !
I hope that I will continue running in the mornings. Difficult to keep up. Let me try.

Friday: 35 minutes. Till now the maximum. Completed one week without a puff.

Wednesday: 30 minutes with 16 rounnds

Monday:rest day
Tuesday: did 32 minutes with 17 rounds in the park.
