AKB48 is a nice music style to listen to during running :)

My body is aching, my legs are hurting, but I feel GREAT! 17.22 km (10.70 miles), 2 hours. Another few km and I’ll hit Half Marathon distance. And I broke several records on today’s run:

• Calories burned in one session (1338 calories) - ironically, my calorie target is 1500 calories per day, so this run almost burned my entire calorie allowance.
• Time spent in one session (2:06:35)
• Distance travelled in one session (17.22 km)

My current base from the ZR2 game:

Had a WTF moment today.

“Hi, I’m looking for a pair of jeans with a 30inch waist”

“Sorry, the smallest we do is 32inch. You might want to look at the childwear section”

“…. Uhm. They’re for me…..”

Since I started running seriously, I’ve lost nearly a stone in weight, and four inches off my waist. The belts I use, I almost always need to punch two extra holes to make it go smaller, and now, I’m beginning to find it harder to get jeans that fit me. >_<

A nice, smooth run, and I broke the 6 min/km mark. Definitely getting faster :) Still need work on maintaining the speed, though.

I have four weeks left of my training - well, 3 1/2, actually. On the last week, I’m going to take an extra day off, and then do a 21K run. This week, 17.2K, next week 17.4K, week after that, 19.8K, week after that (final week), 21K.

Of course, this assumes I don’t have to cancel due to bad weather….

Must be monsoon season – I’ve had to skip several runs recently due to heavy rain…. -_-

A satisfying workout. I broke the 6:00min/km average pace today, and almost broke 30 mins for the whole 5K. Pretty pleased with this. I’m hitting yellow more and more often now, so I’m able to push myself better now.

Poor Archie. Jamie is probably going to be so pissed…. ^_^;

Wow, just lost 1.7kg from my run today. That’s 3.75lbs, just from one run.

I’m actually pleased somewhat with this. I was able to get below 6:00 min/km for several km, but couldn’t keep that pace, so I’ll need to work on that.

This week’s long run is 90 minutes, and I’m going to try a new route that is slightly longer than the route I took last week, but hopefully shouldn’t hit any pavement-less roads. It’s a 15.61KM route so I should be pretty shattered by the time I’m done.

Next week’s long run is also 90 minutes, then 95 minutes, then 100 minutes, then 100 again, and then the training ends the week after. If I can do 100 minutes at a pace of around 7:00 min/km (slow pace), then a half marathon will take me 147.7 minutes, or about 2.5 hours. I can average about 6:40 now, so that will make the half marathon time close to 2 hours if I can keep that pace up.

I’ll probably run the 15.61KM tomorrow, and gauge how far I can get in the 90 minutes. If I finish ahead of target, then I’ll use another route I have planned, which is 17KM. I also have a 19KM route planned, and a full Half Marathon route planned, so if I get faster, I can use those.

Unfortunately, adidas have updated their site. Now I can’t seem to find the image to link into the post, so I’m going to have to resort to screenshots instead…

A different 5K route today, and it’s slightly longer than 5K, but more flat, so I was able to hit a faster-than-normal pace, and keep it going for a while. So well, in fact, that I touched the top of Green during the run, on more than one occasion. And, I’ve shaved off 90 seconds off my last run’s pace (~8min/km), and around 30 seconds off my average (~7min/km).

According to Endomondo, my current bests are:

Cooper (12 min): 2.46 km One hour: 9.6 km 1 km: 4m:44s 1 mile: 7m:42s 3 miles: 25m:38s 5 km: 26m:33s 10 km: 1h:02m:40s

Starting to feel the results of today’s run now.  And it’s not pleasant…

A 90-minute run, and a reasonable pace at 7 minutes, including the 10 minute cooldown. And at 13km, it’s my furthest distance so far.
