Week 1 Run 4 (of 3)

Got out for another run today, it was hard but it is getting easier.

I nearly left it too late, it was all but dark when I got back but at least I did it.

The basic stats are:
StageDistanceTimePace



Exc. WU/CD1.72 miles18:3010:44
Overall2.34 miles28:3012:12
I have sorted out getting a better report from the app too. Along with messing about with the settings so it is a bit less annoying and only gives me the information I actually want (pace and runs remaining), rather than waffling on with all sort of irrelevant stuff about distance covered, total time blah blah blah that it was doing before.
I initially didn't sign in with my google account or facebook because I didn't want it posting spam on my account, but now I've signed into google it will upload it to the RunDouble website and give me a nice breakdown without spamming anyone but me, hopefully.
Anyway the detailed stats and run map are here if anyone is interested.

I have decided to do one more go at the week 1 program. If I can get out Sunday or Monday as planned then I will have effectively done 3 in a week, after taking a week off for and should be able to push on to the next section without dying. I will have to come up with a better route though, as I posted a letter before I set off and ran a bit quicker, I got far enough down the canal path that I very nearly got to the bit where it becomes mud instead of path. Once I move on I should get further and that will be impractical until the weather improves. I guess I am just going to have to put up with some hills at some point.

Today's entertainment was courtesy of BadDice again, talking about the UK masters winner's Dark Elf list but it was only a 10 minute episode, so I moved on to Bach. Music probably isn't as bad a plan as I first thought, I was way too tired to be paying attention to a podcast, and too knackered to be bored.

  1. I've done 2 runs in week 2 but my boiler has died and having plumbers in and out doing major boiler replacement surgery, having no shower and battling the killer dust bunnies resulting from the work has made it hard to fit in running! I noticed that my pace dropped a bit from my week 1 stats on the first run but by run 2 it was back to where it was at the end of week 1 so don't be too disheartened if it feels like you're going backwards!
