Again, had trouble getting my heart rate up to Yellow Zone. I might do an assessment run sometime to reassess my zones.

Got ticketed again here
Short run today, at 20 minutes, but still did pretty well at 95%. A few blips at the start, but mostly stayed in zone.

A pretty good run at 93%. Quite a few blips, but still kept mostly in zone.

Scored 95% today. Another good run. Kept a good pace, and one blip. It was a windy day and my cap blew off, so I had to break off my pace to retrieve it :P

Whoo! Nearly hit 100% on this run, and it was a long run too. I had ONE blip in this run near the end of the Green Zone, which took the 2% off, and I pre-empted the 5-minute mark by starting to slow-jog at the Blue Zone, even though I can walk it.
Day 16’s image isn’t available, not sure why, even though I synced my pacer. Most likely it’s because I ended up running a workout that was deleted.

Threshold run. This was really difficult today, for some reason. I couldn’t get my heart rate up to yellow zone, even though I was pushing myself.

85% today, so a reasonable run, but surprisingly, it took a long time for my heart rate to reach Green Zone.

30-minute run. Surprisingly, burned out pretty quickly. But I guess that’s what happens when you don’t have a decent lunch…
My run was later than normal because of training at the office which delayed me, not to mention an accident at the Brent Cross junction with the North Circular Road….

Shorter run today, and scored pretty well – got 95% and I think this is probably because I actually pre-empted the start of the Green Zone.
I’ve worked as both a user and as an IT engineer, so I know how true this is…. :P

Reasonable run today. Only scored 81% though. I used the larger, steeper lap this time, but managed to keep my pace more consistent.

Scored 90% today. Did a longer lap of my local park this time, which had the steeper incline. Harder work, but better for pacing.
I’ve finally started building on Project 5Ds.

Made a complete mess of today’s workout. Burned out too quickly and ended up walking most of it. Got a long way to go before I can do a Half Marathon…. :(
Although I guess some could argue that robot have already replaced some CEOs….

Today’s run I dropped below 90% for the first time in a while. I can maintain a heart rate, but trying to get up to that rate, or dropping it down is difficult….

Day 7 of training. Again, 90%. Tried running up a steeper hill compared to my previous days runs. Not such a good idea since I burned out quicker - have to make sure I pace myself better.
Managed to stay in zone for most of the run, but it was a little slow to get up to Green, so I guess that’s why I only scored 90% on this run. But still, 90% and above, and I’m pleased.
I was a bit surprised when I went into my Google Music library and found I had over 19 days of music purchased. I hadn’t uploaded anything :P
First long run of the training. It was only 30 minutes, but it’ll go up next week. Interestingly, even though I managed to settle into a comfortable pace, my heart rate kept climbing. Then, just towards the end of the 20-minute Green Zone, my pacer beeped me, telling me to slow down. If my heart rate hits that limit in 20 minutes, then next Saturday, when the duration gets upped to 35 minutes with a 25-minute Green Zone, I’m going to end up hitting that border more often in the last 5 minutes.
Also, here’s an interesting fact. Today, I covered 5.26 KM at 00:06:52 min/KM. Yesterday, I covered 3.56 KM at 00:07:53 min/KM. So, I covered a longer distance at a shorter pace.
Oh, and if you’re interested, I also had Zombies, Run! running during this run. That run is available here (can’t embed it)
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%
No run today – rest day
