September maximum temperatures were above average to very much above average around broad areas of coastal Australia. The western half of Western Australia was particularly warm, with large areas experiencing September daytime temperatures in the top 10% of all years (decile 10).
Before you know it, you are running a 5k! But a lot of runners have a hard time making improvements after they have become comfortable with 2-3 mile runs. You want to continue to build your endurance and run a little further or longer. Maybe you even want to run a 10 miler or half marathon, but itâs daunting.
Three weeks is not enough time. You gain running endurance by running, that is it. I generally tell people to start with a distance they can do, lets say a mile. Run that every day for a week. Then each successive week, add 1/4 mile to it, until they are where they need to be. That is certainly not going to work in your case. The best thing I can think of is for you to get on the elliptical machine and flat wear that thing out every day.
