General Updates

So I haven’t been posting here much recently so here are some updates.

Been slowing trying to get back into running, have been slacking off WAAAAY too much lately. Tried using Aaptiv (@aaptiv) which is a training fitness app that has trainers talking you through the stuff, there are a few problems with it.

  1. When you use a stretch/strength training routine or yoga routine, you’re reliant on them telling you what to do, there’s no video guide to show you the correct form, and that’s bad. Other apps like FitBit Coach has videos where you can copy the coach to make sure you have the right form.
  2. On Treadmill/Running routines, they talk in mph, but treadmills here in the UK go in km/h, which requires conversion (1.0 mph = 1.6 kph)

On a separate note, I have bought another attempt at the CKA exam, but this time bought the bundle with the Kubernetes Fundamentals Training from Linux Foundation. Let’s see how different that is to Linux Academy’s training….

 

Training – 27th October 2018

First run for a long while — decided to push and go for the 5k I had been leaving for a long while

Made it in 30mins near enough on the dot. Strava tracking 5.03km in 29.57 with an average pace of 5:57min/km

Training – 9th September 2018

Intervals run today — I decided to try walking the beginning and end since the target pace was just under 8mins but I struggled to find a good speed, since 8min/km is too fast for my walk pace and too slow for my jog pace

Training – 8th September 2018

Reset my Endomondo plan to reflect updated pace. Today’s run was a 3.8km run. Got to about 3km then dropped to a walk, but kept a pretty consistent pace until then.

Training – 3nd September 2018

Straight walk for 3k. Was actually 3.3k, but Endomondo tracked 3.3k before my Fitbit did.
