Pace Timing

I just checked Endomondo and found my PB for 1 KM is 4 minutes 44 secs. Not brilliant, but a start. If I was to keep that speed, I’d clock a 5K in approx 25 minutes, a 10K in 50 minutes, and a Half Marathon in about 1 hour 45 minutes.

Better start working on my pace….

Running Pace

I’m trying to find an Android app that will notify me if I’m above/below/at target pace to help me with training for the Half Marathon. Whilst miCoach (which I use primarily) does this, it only does it once you’ve done an assessment run, and/or tweaked the pace zones yourself. I can use other apps such as Endomondo, RunKeeper, etc. to notify me of current and average pace based on time and/or distance travelled, but I’d like to know without having to wait for the next time/distance trigger.

Speaking of which, I might go back to myAsics training. Even though their app is crap, I could still make do with their training plan, and use Endomondo to monitor my pace. True, it won’t be accurate, but I guess I could set it to announce pace every five minutes.

 

Tried to do an Assessment Workout before this run, and slightly impacted it (elevated heart rate at the start of the run). Also, burned out much more quicker this time as a result. I think I might do another one on my Thursday rest day. I aborted the Assessment Workout because it burned me out too quickly, although looking at the Assessment chart, it seems I should have tried to keep going….

No Zombies, Run! track, and there probably won’t be anymore, not until they sort out the synchronisation bug.

And here’s the actual run.
