Training – 28th July 2019

After a stupidly long time without running, I’m back at it. Did a lap of the park and I utilised a new app on my FitBit watch, which lets you set a target time and distance and gives you a running “partner” running at that pace to run against. So in this picture, I’m 22 seconds ahead of my running partner. We are both standing still as I stopped to take this picture.

What is neat about it is that once you finish, you can set save your finish time for next time to try to beat it.

Also, while running, I spotted a rusty old BlackBerry that was lying around

Looks like it belongs to Barnet Council…

Training – 29th June 2019

Didn’t do my runs for most of this week due to being on call, so decided I had to run at least today.

And I happened to pick the hottest day to do it on, with temperatures set to hit 35degC/96degF in some places….

7 intervals 3min/2min with the first one being 3/3 instead of 3/2

Training – 23rd June 2019

So, 21 intervals today. Most intervals I’ve done in one session, though they were all 60sec/30sec run/walk intervals so they were more or less manageable

Training – 17th June 2019

10-interval run today, with 2-minute run/2-minute walk intervals. Target distance was 5.34 km, ran 7.24km according to Endomondo, 6.87 according to Strava and FitBit

Training – 8th June

After several days of missed runs due to rain, I finally got a run in, in between bouts of showers.

Strava and FitBit logged this run at 4.66 km, but Endomondo logged it as 5km

Training – 2nd June

Today and yesterday were hot days to run in (~25degC) and today’s run was a 9-interval,

6 of 60sec run/30sec walk and 3 of 30sec run/60sec walk
