One of my favourite parts of running is route planning – deciding where to go on my next route.
I was experimenting with different routes via Endomondo and found a route that was just slightly over the Half Marathon. A HM is 21.0975 (Wikipedia), but the route I found was 21.13 KM — 0.0325 KM over. I guess I can live with that. :)
Tried a different route today, and comfortably increased my pace, but as a consequence, spent more time above the blue zone so miCoach penalised me for that and scored me at 70%.
My current Half Marathon training plan finishes July 10th. By then, I should hopefully be able to run (or at least jog) 1 hour 40 minutes. At my usual pace of 6 minutes/KM, this should get me 17 KM. Half Marathon distance is 20 KM, so if I can do this, my next trial is to get the last 3KM.
Okay, can’t argue with this…. :P

I was cleaning up some of my runs off Zombie Link (the web site for Zombies, Run), and it seems like I’ve deleted one of my completion runs for the first run of Season 2, so I’m now going to have to run it again. I’ve run that run several times already, and I don’t mind running it again, but it does mean I won’t get as many materials out of it this time, as a result of the update to the ZR app.
I guess I could always wipe my S1M1 runs of ZL, wipe my installation cache from my ZR app and resync, but then I’d have to redownload all the missions….
A couple of days this week were missed due to weather and O/T at work, but still managed to get a reasonable score today.
Threshold run — and messed it up.
Another day of torrential downpour so another missed run. I guess I could run in it, but I’d rather not catch a cold – we’re already stretched at the office as it is…
This run felt pretty good. I touched Yellow again, and pretty much stayed in Green the whole time I needed to be. My average speed went below 7 minutes for the first time in a while, but the blue zones at the start and end always skew the average pace.
Endomondo (which I use in conjunction with miCoach) told me my fastest KM was between approximately 1.25KM into the run and 2.25KM into the run, and that was in 5min 20secs/KM. Still a way to go to beat my Personal Best of 4min 44secs/KM.
