Training

Nice sunny day for running, but my Fitbit Blaze kept losing it’s connected GPS to my phone. My previous watch (Surge) had inbuilt GPS so this didn’t happen.  Possibly the FitBit service was being killed because of Spotify….

Training

Final run of the week 1 series. For some reason the app tracked me at just over 1km, but fitbit tracked me at 4km. Probably quirky gps.

 

Training

Back to doing my C25K again and definitely slower. Strava flagged this run as the slowest I’ve done on the route since linking Fitbit to Strava :(

Depressing, but as they say, “When you hit rock bottom, the only way is up”

Training

It’s been a while since I did any decent runs, and today being a good sunny day I decided to go for it.

And shocked by how bad I was :(

 

I was following Fitbit’s workout which was 2x 12 minute jogs separated by a 90 min rest, then a 3 minute run at the end with a cooldown at the end of the workout. I stopped several times during the runs which annoyed me.

Got the two 12 minute runs down but didn’t do the three minute run at the end.

Walking

After being out of training for a long while due to illness, I decided to fork out on Fitbit Coach and start using some of their workouts.

Today I decided to go out and try their walking workouts — an audio-driven workout around power walking
