Easy run today, made it to about 3k

12 minute fitness test today. According to Endomondo, I made 2.16 km.

Intervals run today – I decided to try walking the beginning and end since the target pace was just under 8mins but I struggled to find a good speed, since 8min/km is too fast for my walk pace and too slow for my jog pace

4.3k run today

Reset my Endomondo plan to reflect updated pace. Today’s run was a 3.8km run. Got to about 3km then dropped to a walk, but kept a pretty consistent pace until then.

Straight walk 3.3k

Straight walk for 3k. Was actually 3.3k, but Endomondo tracked 3.3k before my Fitbit did.

Run/walk 4 intervals at 2min/1min times

No scheduled run today, so just did a straight run and one lap of my local park.

6 intervals today, back to running for each of the fast-walk intervals

Changed the run schedule a bit in @endomondo – Wednesday I’m normally late due to office stuff and Friday… well, Happy Hour ^_^

So next run is now Sunday with a 4x 2min run/1min walk interval.

8 intervals today with two short ones (and that threw me a bit)

Spotted a sign from the local council on a lamp post on the run near the end – apparently, they’d found 2 dead fox cubs with no injuries, implying they had been poisoned, which is in violation of a Wildife Act or something along those lines.

Then on the lamp post opposite “Dog Owners, don’t let your dogs poop on the pavement, clean up after them. You know who you are”

Someone hates animals it seems…

Missed a run due to heavy rain.

Today’s run was a walk/run with 4 intervals

First day training back with @endomondo – more a walk today, but I ran a bit during the “fast-walk” intervals.

I used Endomondo for the voice prompts, but tracked the main workout with my fitbit. This led to my graph being a bit out of sync with the workout graph…

Next run is on Thursday. Well, it’s a walk rather than run…. But start slow, and build up, I guess

I tried (for the second time) to do the next run in the C25K ZenLabs, which was a 22min run I got halfway, then dropped to a walk :(

I checked out Strava’s Premium Fitness Plan offering and dislike it immediately (for a 5K training, it wants you to run 1-1.5 hours as the first run. Seriously?!)

I went back to Endomondo (who have been acquired by Under Armor since I last used them) and their Fitness Plan offering hasn’t changed so reactivated my premium and will start with their C25K tomorrow.

So this guy did 650 + 650 + 100 km….. Impressive.

But it does prove the effectiveness of having the right mindset.

Did the 2x 10 minute runs today and topped 5km according to the ZenLabs app, but only hit 4.85km according to Fitbit (and I kinda trust FitBit more than ZenLabs in terms of distance tracking)

Set two Strava Segment PRs during this run

This run was done on Lineage OS 14. I downgraded back to 14 from 15 after finding a few quirks with that version that don’t sit well with me.

• The ADB connection is very flaky, cutting out a lot, and the charge LED blinks during this time, like something is restarting. I don't get that with 14
• The general battery usage is really bad. I lose between 20% and 40% battery life overnight, whereras I lose only 15-20% on 14.

I might decided to try again at some point, but on a clean (empty) install.

I imported some of my old runs into Strava, and found that Strava placed me amongst the other Strava users and even let me see in real time how I fared with the other runners

Re-did my run from yesterday and did it without stopping.

I had my fitbit on and it seemed to have stopped tracking before the end for some weird reason, so this run wasn’t tracked properly…

5min warmup, 5min run, 3min walk, 8min run, 3min walk, 5min run, 5min cooldown

Everything was fine until the second walk where I got attacked by a Jack Russell. Small, but feisty dog.

Last run I got to 3 mins then dropped to a walk.

I’ll try this again tomorrow and see if I can finish it without walking during a run cycle.

20 minute run successful. Early morning run to avoid the heat

My run yesterday was a failure – it was the longest run so far for the C25K at 20 minutes without walking, and I only got halfway.

Damn, I’m out of shape :(

Weather is definitely lower today to a more comfortable 21degC. Early morning run and a nice breeze blowing as I run. 2x 8min runs today with 5 min break in between.

If you’re going to go running out there, make sure you bring some water. A lot of it…

Week 5 runs starting. 5 minutes, 3 times and a 3min break in between.

Last night hardly got any sleep, and this morning, when I checked the weather, it wasn’t surprising with 89% humidity according to Google and weather.com

Another early morning run today. No stopping during the four run intervals so that felt good :)
