30-minute run. Surprisingly, burned out pretty quickly. But I guess that’s what happens when you don’t have a decent lunch…

My run was later than normal because of training at the office which delayed me, not to mention an accident at the Brent Cross junction with the North Circular Road….

Shorter run today, and scored pretty well — got 95% and I think this is probably because I actually pre-empted the start of the Green Zone.

Reasonable run today. Only scored 81% though. I used the larger, steeper lap this time, but managed to keep my pace more consistent.

Scored 90% today. Did a longer lap of my local park this time, which had the steeper incline. Harder work, but better for pacing.

Made a complete mess of today’s workout. Burned out too quickly and ended up walking most of it. Got a long way to go before I can do a Half Marathon…. :(

Today’s run I dropped below 90% for the first time in a while. I can maintain a heart rate, but trying to get up to that rate, or dropping it down is difficult….

Day 7 of training. Again, 90%. Tried running up a steeper hill compared to my previous days runs. Not such a good idea since I burned out quicker – have to make sure I pace myself better.

Managed to stay in zone for most of the run, but it was a little slow to get up to Green, so I guess that’s why I only scored 90% on this run. But still, 90% and above, and I’m pleased.

First long run of the training. It was only 30 minutes, but it’ll go up next week. Interestingly, even though I managed to settle into a comfortable pace, my heart rate kept climbing. Then, just towards the end of the 20-minute Green Zone, my pacer beeped me, telling me to slow down. If my heart rate hits that limit in 20 minutes, then next Saturday, when the duration gets upped to 35 minutes with a 25-minute Green Zone, I’m going to end up hitting that border more often in the last 5 minutes.

Also, here’s an interesting fact. Today, I covered 5.26 KM at 00:06:52 min/KM. Yesterday, I covered 3.56 KM at 00:07:53 min/KM. So, I covered a longer distance at a shorter pace.

Oh, and if you’re interested, I also had Zombies, Run! running during this run. That run is available here (can’t embed it)
