Run Update

I got out for a run today and decided to try doing 2:1s (2 min jog and 1 min walk). Overall it went well, but I was getting tired near the end. Hard to believe that jogging an extra 5 mins instead of walking can have that much effect on your endurance. I did have a bit of pain in my left ankle/shin, mostly on the outer part of it, but it wasn't enough to ruin my run.

Here are my numbers.

			Difference
Date	Today	Aug 27th, 2009	4 days
Time	00:30:00	00:21:00	+9:00
Style	2:1s	1:1s	1:0
Distance (km)	4.2	2.69	+1.69
Average HR	153	140	-13
Max HR	173	159	-14
Calories Burned	540	309	+131

The good part about these numbers is that even though I ran more than all my previous runs, my average HR and max HR were still in line with all my other runs. To me, this tells me that my heart is getting use to the exercise.
