25 Minute Run

It's Tuesday, February 24/2015 and for fitness all the p.e classes in period 2 did the 25 minute run, however it was different then the last 25 minute runs we have done in the past because every class was doing its own thing. Which I liked because you don't know what the other people are doing so you're really just focused on yourself, your pace, and your goal. I found that this was a good way to get to know what I need to improve on in this class, like what my weaknesses are. At the beginning of the class, Erika, Jusleen, and I had a plan to slowly jog 2 and a half laps and walk the other half (the rest). It was going good because when we had finished doing that one set it had been 10 minutes. However it ended up slowing down, for example we would run half and walk half and towards the end we ran one lap and walked half way. So it was a bit hard in the beginning and then it dropped a lot and began to pick up. I learned that I need to work on my breathing more when I'm running because I wasn't tired when we had finished, my chest began to hurt and my right ribcage and that was it. I also need to improve on my pace where I can last a long time running because that hasn't always been my strength. I use to do track and field but I would only do the 100m, 200m, and sometimes the 400m where you run as fast as you could for a short distance, so I would like to work on learning to control my breathing and pacing where I could last longer running.
