Friday Funk

I had another DNC (Did Not Complete), although I'm probably being a little hard on myself as I did complete 2/3 of the run I had planned. I can't quite figure if it's fatigue (I've been standing in heals for 8 hours a day the last three days), if it's becuase I forgot to add the incline or becuase I pushed myself with my inital pace for too long. I hope to get some outdoor running in this weekend, so hopefully that will get me out of my funk.

Summary:

Music: The Hunger Games #1 Audio Book

Run: 5 min walk; 20 min jog; 3 min walk

Terrain: Treadmill, incline at 2% only from 15 min jog (forgot)

Pace: 8'40''

Distance: 3.23 km

Heart Rate: Failed for some reason, will have to google it and see what might be the cause

On the treadmill...

So this was my first "run" on the treadmill since I started back in Sep 2010, and I have to say I didn't like it one bit. Mainly due to the fact that outside I can just run, I don't have to worry about the settings, I don't have to worry if I slow down then speed up, I don't have to over think things. Seeing that I'll be away from home during the week due to work I'm going to have to find a better option and put up with the stress of running outdoors in a foreign city (make that country).

Summary:

Music: Wild Volume 13 on shuffle

Run: 5 min walk; 5 min jog; 3 min walk; 5 min jog; 3 min walk; 5 min jog; 3 min walk; 5 min jog; 3 min walk. So yeah, not my aim, nor the way I wanted to run, but still 20 min in total.

Terrain: Treadmill, gym

Distance: 4.15 km on my Nike+, only 3.36 km on the treadmill! Not good data!!!!

Pace: 9'09''

Heart Rate: Maximum 185; Average 166

Thursday Night Run

So I knew before I went out that this was going to be an average run, as in slow, very slow, but all things considered I'm pretty happy that I made my first 20 minutes straight and ran 2.5 km straight, so not all's lost.

Run: 5 min walk; 20 minute jog; 8 minute walk

Terrain: Grass, flat

Distance: 3.72 km; pace of 9'12''
Temperature: 28C, with a nice breeze

Heart Rate: Maximum 167; Average: 157
