EASY 2.70 KM IN 20M:34S

Ran 2.74 km in 16m:18s. Replaying ZR Season 2 now, maxed out most of the missions, now getting only 1 material per mission, which means it will take longer to upgrade anything now.

TEMPO RUN IN 2 INTERVALS 32M:36S

Tempo Intervals x2. A new style of training. 2 reasonably hard pushes, with a minute recovery and a 10 minute warm up/cool down either side. Ran 5.92K in 36:53mins

Tracks: ZR, Endomondo

Target: EASY RUN WITH 6 STRIDES 4.11 KM

Achieved: 4.41 KM

First run of the 10K retraining. Interval training x6. A comfortable run with 6 short bursts. Felt the burn at bursts 5 and 6. The 10 minute cool-down helped.

After the Christmas and (upcoming) New Year celebrations and obligatory over-indulging of food, I, like many people will be trying to shift the extra weight in the new year. So, with the help of Endomondo, I’m going to train up again for a 10K – not a 10K race this time, just try to get up to the 10K distance again, then take it up to distance Half Marathon for the second half of the year and/or early 2015. The training plan is over half a year and I stretched it out to its maximum length deliberately to allow me as gradual work up to 10K.

I know I can do 10K, I did a race earlier this year (Chickenshed 10K), but after slacking off because of weather, I need to get back into it.

Completed the main story of ZR Season 2 finally. A couple of side missions left, then I can start working on the Race Missions, Airdrop Mode and Supply Missions. Supply Missions will be last because you don’t get any materials, and the only reason for running them is to get the hoarding achievements.

Hungry?

I’m reverting back to training my base foundation strength again, so I’m doing 5Ks repeatedly as that is my “base” distance that I’m comfortable with. Then I’ll go back to 10K and HM training.

Still getting my edge back after a period of non-running

ZR, Endomondo

Restarting my Half Marathon training. Today was an easy 4.60 km. Stopped using gmusicfs and playing music using Play Music, but that isn’t without its own quirks. It sometimes stop playing the next track and doesn’t tell you, which then requires manual intervention to start playing again, disrupting rhythm.

Another problem with using Play Music, is that the music overlaps with the ZR audio so I need to make a decision whether to be able to listen to the ZR audio and have relatively unstable OS, or have a stable OS, but unstable music….

I’m going to slowly pickup my running again next week, starting on a slower pace to begin with, since I still have scabbing on my shingles which may take a while to get rid off. However, most of the scabbing is dry, and should flake off soon anyway.
