They’re so much better looking in Japan…. :P

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…. ^_^;

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.

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 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.

Has anyone noticed that the colour red is stereotyped to one (or both) of two things: sadism and sexiness, especially in anime.

Today was certainly a change. The run was meant to be 1 hour 20 minutes, so I decided a while ago to aim for a 10K run and my target was 1 hour. However, considering my current timing for 5K is 35 minutes, meant I should hit 10K at 1 hour and 10 minutes. Considering this run was 10.25K in 1 hour 9 minutes and 15 seconds, I’m pretty pleased. And it didn’t feel too bad. Yes, I stopped a couple of times as my 10K route had to cross busy roads and I’m not dumb enough to run straight across without looking. And my overall pace at 6:45 was quite good –although I terminated the run early. This run had two 10-minute blue zones, and I terminated my run at 1:09 – 1:10 to 1:20 would be the final cool down.

Blue zones are a pain because you can’t run them adequately, as they’re warm ups, but since you’re running slow, your overall pace value suffers as miCoach takes these speeds into account when calculating the overall pace.

My usual miCoach pace is around 7:00 to 7:30 per KM because of the blue zones. Take out a 10-minute blue zone, and you can see a 45-second improvement in the pace value.

Tried a different route today, and comfortably increased my pace, but as a consequence, spent more time above the blue zone so miCoach penalised me for that and scored me at 70%.

Not sure if I’ve posted this before and can’t be bothered to check right now :P

My, my, my, it’s been such a long time since I did anything on Blender, and it’s been a long time since I was reading off my Kindle app. Well, I’m going to pick up again, and although the books I have are primarily based on Blender 2.4x, at least I can use them to learn the basics.

I have a lot of material to cover either way…

Quite a shocking revelation in today’s ZR track

A couple of days this week were missed due to weather and O/T at work, but still managed to get a reasonable score today.

Threshold run – and messed it up.

This run felt pretty good. I touched Yellow again, and pretty much stayed in Green the whole time I needed to be. My average speed went below 7 minutes for the first time in a while, but the blue zones at the start and end always skew the average pace.

Endomondo (which I use in conjunction with miCoach) told me my fastest KM was between approximately 1.25KM into the run and 2.25KM into the run, and that was in 5min 20secs/KM. Still a way to go to beat my Personal Best of 4min 44secs/KM.

Yep, just confirmed Google Movies now also works. Picked a relatively cheap purchase (£2) to test with.

I’m not sure how the hell my heart monitor registered I was running at 210BPM when I wasn’t even sprinting. For the first 8 or so minutes of this run I was fiddling with my monitor trying to seat it properly as a result of the OTT BPM.
