Tracks: ZR (Beta track here), Endomondo, Strava
Target: 7km 5:38-5:46 min/km
Achieved: 7.03 @ 5:41 min/km
Next Run: Monday – 5km 7:42 min/km
The latest update for the ZR2 app now re-introduces the Supply Missions from Season 1. These missions are not storyline related and do not end. They go on for as long as you want. When you end the mission, the final audio clip plays. I haven’t checked since the update, but as these are optional, I don’t believe they will give you Materials for your base. Also, in the original ZR app, you could only do supply missions after playing certain missions. For example, you could only play the Fuel Run Supply Mission after the mission where you are introduced to Ed and Molly. Such a restriction is no longer the case.
Tracks: ZR (Beta track here), Endomondo, Strava
Target: 5km Intervals 5:22-5:46 min/km
Achieved: 3.39 km @ 5:42 min/km. A slower run today, as I’m doing intervals. Had the zombie chases on, and had two today. Evaded both, although the second was rather close.
Next Run: Saturday – 7km 5:38-5:46 min/km
Another snippet of wisdom from this month’s Runner’s World. For people wanting to start running, but have no plans. Sure you can use apps for your phone, but here’s one which is simple, effective, and is gradual. Run these intervals a minimum of 3 times a week.
The latest edition of Runner’s World is out now, and there’s lots of useful nuggets of information in this issue, including an interview with Paul Radcliffe, whose career is about as long as RW has been publishing.
One useful bit of wisdom caught my eye and it’s how a Kenyan trained for, and got a WR his 10K:
I got my race pack today:
Tracks: ZR (Beta track here), Endomondo, Strava
Target: 7km @ 5:54 – 6:02 min/km
Achieved: 5.1 km @ 5:34 min/km (Strava measurement)
Endomondo really screwed up measurements on this run, for some reason, registering that I ran 5.06 km in 5d:3h:03m:20s. Uh, sure – I can crawl 5 km in less time than that. Sure, I was below the 7km I was aiming for, but that’s because I did the wrong route and went my 5km route instead of 7km.
In other news, I had my first Zombie attack on my base:
But it would take 5 materials to fix, and I don’t have that (it would take me 2 runs to do that, and I’d much rather extend my base first)
I also encountered two bugs — a base render corruption:
And a duplication of messages (Okay, I heard you the first time!)
Next run: Thursday — 5km Intervals: 5:36 – 6:02 min/km pace
10K Training – Day 17: Getting Faster – Day 13
Tracks: ZR (Beta track here), Endomondo, Strava
Target: 5km @ 7:43 min/km. Target Finish: 38:35 mins
Achieved: 9.99 km @ 6:08 min/km, 1:01:20 hrs Completion. I wanted to try to run a 10K today, being a bank holiday. Whilst I did it, I fell way short of my target sub-1 hour time. MyASICS has detected my general slow down in pace and offered to adjust the pace in my plan (which I accepted).
In addition, I did the second Zombies, Run! race mission, which was, ironically, 10K, and it fit in quite nicely with the run. Considering the missions drive by distance and not time, they overlay the music, rather than stopping it, so you can hear the music still going in the background whilst the audio is being played.
Next run: Tuesday – 7km @ 5:54 – 6:02 min/km
