Did another lap around the park, but went clockwise instead of anti-clockwise.

And beat my PB for that way around the park.

Pace was 5:22. Previous PB was 5:35.

Next task is to get to two laps around that park, which should take me to about 4-4.5km.

A quick lap around the park. Felt fast and good, but it turns out I was a 5:27, 0:08 slower than my best time. But the chart looks good:

The pace/HR chart also looks okay. Speed (top line) drops at corners, as expected. The last drop is when I’m turning two corners, and I’m under trees, so the GPS probably dropped out.

The HR (bottom line) was fairly stable between 155 and 170 bpm.

After several days of hot weather, it’s cooled down enough for me to get running again. Did my 3k lap and stopped part way to check out the new Leisure Centre that’s opened in New Barnet. 5:50 min/km pace.

A hot day today, 30degC in fact, did one lap around the park, and the sweat was pouring, not from exertion, but from the heat.

Also I’ve noticed. Those dips you see in the chart? They are when I’m turning a sharp corner. I guess since I’m not sprinting through the corner, the GPS logs it as a slow speed. Interesting fact I’ll have to bear in mind for future.

What’s even more interesting, is that FitBit logs the run slightly differently

You can see the dips here too, but definitely not as extreme as the one in Strava.

One lap again today, temperature was getting high and looks like it’s going to be quite high over the bank holiday weekend.

One lap around the park, and made a pretty good pace today: 5:20 min/km and I wasn’t really pushing hard. Record for the lap was 5:19 min/km, so I was ONE SECOND short of matching my PB for the lap

Few laps around a very small loop of pavement to make it just about 2km.

And, nearly got myself run over by someone who wasn’t looking -_-

After some early rain, took a run on my 3k loop on the run that I did pretty well on yesterday. Lasted through till near the end then dropped to a walk. My pace suffered, and average pace was 6:03 min/km

One lap around the park today. Nice weather, and Strava logs it as 5:46 min/km and “consistent effort”, though I had to drop to a walk to waddle through a puddle of water from the recent rains.

Went on a different route today. Decided to aim for 3km and did it, averaging 5:44 min/km, with my PB on the same route being 5:22 min/km.

First run in a long while that I’m actually pleased with. I broke no records in this run, but no matter.
