Weekend Run #9

Not going to go parkrunning for a while, whilst I get back to distance training to try to get back up to 10K capability.

Tracks: Endomondo, ZR, Nike+

Weekday Run #19

No target, just running on a treadmill, adjusting pace as felt comfortable with. And amazingly, busted my 1K record:

Oak Hill Parkrun #4

A nice warm day, gentle breeze. A good run, and broke my current parkrun PB at a time of 25:48, and cam in 38th position. Best position so far. :D

My SmartWatch said I beat my 5K PB with 25:52, but it didn’t register as a new on the Nike+ site. EDIT: Looks like it just took a long time to register on the site.

And I have to say, parkruns really are a good way to improving your speed. When I started, my 5Ks were around the 30min+ mark. Now, I’ve been getting down, and have nearly taken off 5 minutes from my average 5K time. Seriously, if there is a parkrun near you, go try it out. It’s almost race-like in its organisation, even though it is isn’t a competition, so it is a good way of getting a feel for how a race might feel like.

Weekend Run #6

 

Rainy day, didn’t do the parkrun, but ran later instead. Still raining. Also was very tired since I was up till past midnight reflashing my phone and tablet devices. Not sure why, but my phone was complaining of low space (120MB left) on internal storage, and I could not seem to free up anything. Spent the night letting Titanium Backup try to restore the apps.

My tablet was running ICS, but now I’ve got it up to KitKat thanks to XDA.

Weekday Run #17

Easy run with 60/20 easy/med intervals.

Note to self: don’t run in the local park in the evening with your mouth open unless you want fly pie. :P

New trophy for finishing my kilometres goal
