Yes, ZR is now working again, although it is still flaky when trying to work with gmusicfs.
Not on my training plan, but I wanted to see how fast I could do a 10K with the current training schedule and fitness.
Target: 10 km. Completion time: < 55 minutes
Achieved: 6.81 km @ 6.29 min/km
Nowhere near where I wanted to be, so I still need to work on it.
Tracks: ZR, Endomondo (here and here).
Target: 5 km @ 5:48 – 5:40 min/km. Completion time: 29:00 – 28:20 min
Achieved: 1.24 km @ 1.53 min/km + 1.28 km @ 5.37 min/km (the first one seems like dodgy GPS, and my phone rebooted so that might be why….)
Next run: Monday, 5 km @ 7:46 min/km, but I’m going to trial a 10k run tomorrow (which isn’t on my schedule)
In between my running, I am now going to start seeking profession certification in linux. It’ll give me something to get a leg up back into the software world, plus let me use something I care about, rather than the very frustrating (and annoying) Windows 7.
Tracks: Endomondo. No ZR tracks because (you guessed it), the app is playing up on me again. Really frustrating when it happens.
Target: 3 km intervals @ 5:48 – 5:24 min/km. Completion time: 17:24 – 16:12 min/km
Achieved: 2.93 km @ 5:03 min/km.
I intended to use my ZR app to help with the interval training by getting zombie chased, but since the app kept crashing on me (I guess it doesn’t like working with gmusicfs), I had to go without.
Next run: Saturday – 5 km @ 5:48 – 5:40 min/km. Completion time: 29:00 – 28:20 min
Target: 5 km @ 5:48 – 5:40 min/km (Completion time target: 28:20-29:00)
Achieved: 5.40 km @ 5.34 min/km (6 secs faster than target range)
First “Fast” run of the training. Tough trying to break the 30 minute mark, and dropped to a walk several times, but a good start. The only way is up :)
On the downside, I was witness to the arrogance of a BMW driver (they’re normally a nightmare on the road anyway), arguing with a cyclist after he almost knocked the rider over. Of course, the driver blamed the cyclist, even though the cyclist was stationary before the driver even came round! I despair…. -_-
I missed today’s run due to a torrential downpour of rain. So I shifted my run to tomorrow. This means I’ll have three runs back to back – a jog tomorrow, a fast run (5 km @ 5:48 – 5:40 min/km), and my first interval run of the training (3 km @ 5:48 – 5:24 min/km).
The MyAsics website warns me against running “long distances in succession”. Well, I don’t really think 3k and 5k are significantly long distances, somehow….
The ZR app is still playing up, but only on the latest missions. I have a few missions to complete before then anyway, so I’ve raised a ticket with Six to Start about it.
As for the training. Today’s target: 8 km @ 7:12 – 6:38.
Achieved: 8.04 km @ 5:50
Next run, Monday – 5 km @ 7:46 min/km
Also, discovered that AKB48 is a nice band to listen to whilst running. Some comfortably fast beats to keep time to.
Tracks: ZR (None, app still playing up on me), Endomondo
Today is a rest day. But I still ran. I decided to try Endomondo’s fitness scoring. The scoring is a 2 mile or 3 km run, and you are scored based on the time it takes you to complete the run. I scored 35.9, which for me classifies as “Fair” :-/
Back to training tomorrow. Day 3 target: 8 km @ 7:12 – 6:38 min/km
