I missed today’s run due to a torrential downpour of rain. So I shifted my run to tomorrow. This means I’ll have three runs back to back – a jog tomorrow, a fast run (5 km @ 5:48 – 5:40 min/km), and my first interval run of the training (3 km @ 5:48 – 5:24 min/km).
The MyAsics website warns me against running “long distances in succession”. Well, I don’t really think 3k and 5k are significantly long distances, somehow….
Doctor Who. One of the longest running series to date with the same leading character and one of the only series with 12 actors playing the same lead character. And the story is seriously convoluted….
Watch Every One of Doctor Who’s 13 (Yes, 13) Regeneration Scenes.
I’ve started work on two FAQs which list the building requirements and achievements that can be unlocked in the game. The links are:
http://goo.gl/WdZsEV (Achievements)
http://goo.gl/VhwuCa (Building Requirements)
The information isn’t quite complete as I haven’t built all the buildings, or unlocked all the achievements. But it’s a start. I’ve made a guess on some of the requirements for some of the achievements, but they’re not confirmed. If you’ve unlocked any of the ones I’m missing, let me know, so I can fill the gaps.
The ZR app is still playing up, but only on the latest missions. I have a few missions to complete before then anyway, so I’ve raised a ticket with Six to Start about it.
As for the training. Today’s target: 8 km @ 7:12 – 6:38.
Achieved: 8.04 km @ 5:50
Next run, Monday – 5 km @ 7:46 min/km
Also, discovered that AKB48 is a nice band to listen to whilst running. Some comfortably fast beats to keep time to.
Tracks: ZR (None, app still playing up on me), Endomondo
Today is a rest day. But I still ran. I decided to try Endomondo’s fitness scoring. The scoring is a 2 mile or 3 km run, and you are scored based on the time it takes you to complete the run. I scored 35.9, which for me classifies as “Fair” :-/
Back to training tomorrow. Day 3 target: 8 km @ 7:12 – 6:38 min/km
Spain Crash: Driver ‘Speeding At Twice Limit’.
Endomondo have started rolling out training plans for runners. These training plans are dynamic in that they update and change based on your progress and fitness.
You must churn out a certain mileage per week in order to qualify for a training plan. For example, I do around 15K a week, and therefore, Endomondo offers me a 5-15km training plan, but doesn’t offer me a Half Marathon or Marathon training plan.
Here’s an example of a training plan Endomondo offered me for a 10K. I’m not using this plan for two reasons. First, I’m already in the middle of a training plan with MyAsics, and second, this plan finishes in JANUARY and the earliest I can end the plan is October 25th, which is way beyond the date of October 6th when my first 10K race is.
Tracks: Endomondo (no ZR track as the app is playing up on me yet again)
Today’s target: 5K jog @ 7:46 min/km
Achieved: 5.38km @ 6.58 min/km
Ran a LOT slower today. I wanted to pace myself for the whole 5K, but when you’re running in 33degC heat, any extended running is really difficult.
