Today's run times.

Same routine as before.
2min 3s
1min 57s
57s

Staying around the same.

One thing that is niggling me is, I know everyone's body types are different, and same for muscle. While I'm sure people will say that, everyone can be trained to run these distances in these times, a part of me disagrees. Its like saying, get a fit and healthy 150kg person, and you'd expect them to be able to sprint the 100m in 10 seconds, just because it's train-able.... To me, certain body types are more suited to certain activities etc. Over the years, I have come to realise that I'm much better at bursts of activity rather than sustained activity, and this is something I have noticed also from my Kendo experience, and I have a decent recovery inbetween (decent, not fabulous). I'd rather see a fitness testing methodology that can take into account these measures instead of a simple one-size-fits-all scenario. Of course, that makes life much harder for some people out there, so until that day, I'll just have to keep running or something.
