Tomorrow is the first Long Run of my Half Marathon training. It’s a simple 30-minute Green Run. I should be able to get around 4 KMs out of this run, but considering my training is by Heart Rate, and not pace, I won’t be running very fast.
The Long Runs are on Saturday (I picked that day for them), and whilst this week’s run is 30 minutes, the Long Run time goes up, until on the last week of training (which will be in July if I can last it), the Long Run is 1h 40mins. I have done a run of 1h 30mins, but it wasn’t non-stop, so it will be interesting to see how well I last, and that’s assuming I can last the distance.
Green Zone Run. Comfortable and easy. Wobbled a little to begin with as my heart rate tried to settle into a comfortable pace.
Overall Score: 90%
Day 3 of training: Threshold Run. It was very difficult to keep within the yellow zone on this run, and even harder to maintain the zone. 5 minutes, and I was burnt out.
Overall Score: 57%
I came across an advert for this site. It advertises “snack boxes” with a selection of snacks that you rate up or down to improve your own customisations, and they are all healthy-type snacks (dried fruit, nuts, rice crackers, etc.)
Have you tried it? I’m going to go for one and see what they’re like.
I’m trying to train up for a Half Marathon – not for any charity in particular, but as a goal, so I’m using my miCoach equipment for logging the runs. Here’s Day 2. I haven’t posted Day 1 because logging it went somewhat wrong and the data was skewed.
