Long Run #4

Today’s target: 16K. Did 16.51K in just under 2 hours. Not my fastest or best time, but I’m pleased because 8K + 16.51K = 24.51K, which means I’ve done more than a Half Marathon distance over the course of the weekend.

Royal Parks Half Marathon

Well, I guess I’m not running the RPHM. :(

Still, I can still train for it.

Lost + Found

Whilst doing a long run, I spotted a sign “Found. Cat. Please call {number}”.

1.5 miles down the road, I spotted another sign “Missing. Cat. If found, please call {number}”.

Can’t really be that easy, can it?

Long Run Weekend #1 – Day 2

Second day of the long run weekend, and it didn’t turn out too well. I decided to run my local park instead because the weather looked ominous. One lap around the park (about 1 mile), and my hamstring was hurting again. Seemed to ease up if I changed my running posture, though. So perhaps I picked this up because my running style is poor? I ended the run early to give it a rest, and maybe work on a better posture. I probably never had this feeling because I don’t normally do 15+K runs.

Still, on the plus side, a new trophy came my way:

Long Run Weekend #1 – Day 1

First day of the long run weekend. Today’s target was 14K, which I hit in about 1hr 26mins. Endomondo Track here. I was using my Nike+ SmartWatch as well, and kept it going till I got home, which was another 3K. Total distance out: 17.2K, total time out: 1hr 58min 58secs.

No Endomondo PBs were broken on this run, but I did set several on Nike+: Farthest Run (17.2K), Longest Run (1hr 58min 58secs), Most Calories Burned (1,140kcal), Fastest 5K (28’51”), Fastest 10K (1’02’12”). I also got the Afternooner trophy (1500 Nike Fuel earned between 2pm and 5pm)

Afternooner

This was one of the longer runs I’ve done in a while, and coming down the last 3K, my hamstring in my right leg started to hurt.

Tomorrow’s target is 16K. If I clock that, my target of a 30K weekend will be achieved. In fact, I will have done more than a Half Marathon over the weekend. Most likely, I’ll use the same route as I took today, so by the end of tomorrow, I’ll have a double 17K under my belt.

Half Marathon Training — Week 4

Nearing the end of week 2 of my Half Marathon training plan, and this week we start doing regular long-distance runs on both weekend days. Saturday is 14K and Sunday is 16K. I am going to really ache on Monday. ^_^
