Another good run

Went out this morning with my buddy and my dog and we did a 6k run in just under 37:30, which is a good pace for me. My runs are going well and my times are slowly coming down, which make me feel like I will be able to get really close to my goal of a 1 hr 10k.

ARHM Challenge - Race Day

Another PB. Ran it with my buddy and had an amazing run.

Here are my numbers:

		My results	Comments
Type of Run	10:1s	14:1s	great
Distance	21.1 km	21.1 km	total: 383.6 km
Pace	6:36	6:43	Great
Average HR	149-167	158	OK
Max HR	180	172	little high
Calories Burned		2653	total: 47734

Everything felt great right from the start as we started with the 2:30 pace bunny and worked our way to the 2:20 pace bunny by kilometer 8. From there we slowly increased our pace, hoping to see the 2:15 pace bunny, but never quite made it. Anyway I look at it, it is another Personal Best and I'm very happy with my results.

ARHM Challenge - No Run # 9 and Run # 52

Because my family has several functions on tomorrow, I decided to do my LSD run today with my buddy and skip today's scheduled Steady Run.

Here are my numbers:

		My results	Comments
Type of Run	LSD	various walking	not good
Distance	20 km	7 km	total: 307.75 km
Pace	6:48-7:58	7:53	too slow
Average HR	147-161	151	felt high
Max HR	180	165	high
Calories Burned		826	total: 38068

I don't know what it was but I could not get my HR down. Within a few minutes it would hit 160 and I didn't feel like I was pushing. This really threw me off, so I walked more than I wanted to. I don't think the half will be a good run in 2 weeks.

ARHM Challenge - Run # 38

Made it out after supper and had another not-so-good run. This time it was while doing hills. Also, my buddy joined me on the hill, and he struggled as well.

Here are my numbers:

		My results	Comments
Type of Run	Hills	various walking	not good
Distance	8 x hills	4x hills	total: 216.8 km
Pace	6:20	???	not good
Average HR	161-169	???	not good
Max HR	180	???	not good
Calories Burned		620	total: 26965

Right from the start I was getting cramps. I tried running through them, but it didn't work. Running after supper is definitely NOT for me. Back to running at lunch next week.

ARHM Challenge - Run # 36

Made it out for my LSD run today. Last night, my wife and I attended a family member's stag, so it turned to be a much later night than anticipated, and a few "pops" were consumed. That all meant, that this morning, I was a little more tired than I was planning. The good thing is that my daughters and my buddy joined me on this run, which we cut short by 4k that we will make up next week.

Here are my numbers:

		My results	Comments
Type of Run	LSD	10:1s	ok
Distance	16 km	12 km	total: 207.6 km
Pace	6:48-7:48	7:04	good
Average HR	149-167	141	OK
Max HR	180	154	OK
Calories Burned		1478	total: 25863

Overall, the run was good and my pace and HR were better than expected. I'm glad I made it out.

ARHM Challenge - Run # 34

Decided to run after supper, with my buddy.

Here are my numbers:

		My results	Comments
Type of Run	Steady	10:1s	ok
Distance	7 km	7 km	total: 190.6 km
Pace	6:48	7:20	slow
Average HR	under 153	146	OK
Max HR	180	162	little high
Calories Burned		869	total: 23753

My buddy was having some issues regulating his HR, so we decided to do 10:1s instead of going steady. Either way, running after supper is tougher and it took me a while to get into it, but eventually it turned into a good run.

ARHM Challenge - Run # 32

Made it out for day 5 in a row and this time I did my LSD run.My buddy joined me, and his girlfriend tagged along for 5 k but wasn't feeling well, so she bailed.

Here are my numbers:

		My results	Comments
Type of Run	LSD	10:1s	good
Distance	16 km	16 km	total: 181 km
Pace	6:48-7:48	7:12	good
Average HR	149-167	141	low
Max HR	180	155	great
Calories Burned		1998	total: 22604

We started off a little slow, but my buddy and I picked it up on the way back and trimmed 1:30 off our time. Great run, now to take a few days off of running to go on a family vacation.

ARHM Challenge - Run # 22

Made it out for my LSD run today with a couple of friends who will also be doing the Army Run.

Here are my numbers:

		My results	Comments
Type of Run	LSD	10:1s	good
Distance	12 km	12 km	total: 116.25 km
Pace	6:48-7:48	7:28	close
Average HR	149-167	145	low
Max HR	180	166	OK
Calories Burned		1467	total: 14021

Today's pace was a little slower due to this being the first time one of my friends did 10:1s for their LSD. I did decide to push hard (5:30/km) the last 500 m so that I could come in under 1:30 for total time.

ARHM Challenge - Run # 9

Made it out today with my buddy JGiles for our LSD run. My family (including my wife) was also out on their bikes while we ran.

Here are my numbers:

		My results	Comments
Type of Run	LSD	10:1	good
Distance	9 Km	9 Km	total: 43.9 km
Pace	6:48-7:48	7:23	OK
Average HR	149-167	139	low
Max HR	180	159	OK
Calories Burned		1103	total: 5263

Because my buddy recently had heart surgery and he's just getting back into running, we tried to keep our pace slow and his HR under 110. For the most part, that was fine, but there were a few times where it did get up. Overall, it was a nice easy run.
