ARHM2 - Run # 8

Made it out today, but I forgot I had an afternoon meeting so I cut my run short.

Here are my numbers.

Like promised, I made it out today.

Here are my numbers.

Today I did 6:1s for the first time and it felt good. I actually thought I'd have a better time, but my pace and HR numbers tell me I wasn't pushing as hard as I could have. I will try to go faster on my next run.

ARHM2 - No Run #2 & #3

With the beautiful weather this weekend, my wife and I decided to spend all our time working on our yard, leaving me no time (or energy) to run, so I missed both runs.

ARHM2 - Run # 6

2nd run in a row in this lovely heat.

Here are my numbers

My legs felt tired so I didn't push, but I got through it anyway.

ARHM2 - Run # 5

Even with a humidex of over 30, I still made it out for the first "hot" run of the year.

Here are my numbers

		My results	Comments
Type of Run	Tempo	5:1	ok
Distance	4 Km	4 Km	21.17 / 20 km

Calories Burned		539	total:2602

By the time I was into my 5th 5:1, it was getting a little difficult. Other than that, and the heat, I managed to get it in and feel good about it.

ARHM2 - Run # 4

Made it out today for my 1st LSD run in a long time and although it started off fine, it didn't end well.

Here are my numbers

		My results	Comments
Type of Run	LSD	various	not ok
Distance	7 Km	6.94 Km	17.17 / 16 km

Max HR	160	155	ok
Calories Burned		816	total:2063

After my 6th 5:1s I was done and began walking more. I eventually started doing 1:1s for most of the way back, getting almost all the run in, just not exactly how I had it planned.

ARHM2 - Run # 3

Made it out again today.

Here are my numbers

		My results	Comments
Type of Run	Steady	5:1	ok

Calories Burned		412	total:1247

I really wasn't trying to push and I was really feeling it today. Tomorrow will be my first LSD run in a long time, it should be interesting...

ARHM2 - Run #2

Despite the slight drizzle and the fact that I haven't had back-to-back runs in months, I still made it out today.

Here are my numbers

		My results	Comments
Type of Run	Tempo	5:1	ok
Distance	3 Km	3.39 Km	6.83 / 6 km

Max HR	180	168	OK
Calories Burned		423	total: 835

I didn't push as hard as yesterday, so my numbers are a little lower. Other than that, I'm glad I made it out.

ARHM2 - Run # 1

Made it out for a run today and it felt better than last week's runs.

Here are my numbers

		My results	Comments
Type of Run	Tempo	5:1	ok
Distance	3 Km	3.44 Km	total: 3.44 km
Pace	6:15	6:58	ok w/ walking

Calories Burned		412	total:412

Being that this is only my 3rd run in over 3 months, it is going to take some time before I can do the types of runs I need. As long as I'm running, then that is good enough for now.

Army Run Half Marathon Part 2

Since I have not run for some time, I figured it would be a good thing to give myself a goal so that I can get back into it.

The challenge this year will be to do the Army Run Half Marathon again this year, that is scheduled to take place on Sept 18, 2011 in Ottawa. I believe some of my friends and co-workers will also be doing the run this year, so that will be nice to see people I know when I finish (near the back, lol).

With this event, the training starts today!

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 - Run # 59

Made it out today, with a friend from work, who's normally much faster than the pace we ran at.

Here are my numbers:

		My results	Comments
Type of Run	Steady	steady	great
Distance	3 km	6.5 km	total: 362.5 km
Pace	6:48-7:48	6:25	fast
Average HR	149-167	157	OK
Max HR	180	167	little high
Calories Burned		839	total: 45081

Pace was much faster due to who I was running with, but it felt good non-the-less. Looking forward to Sunday's run.

ARHM Challenge - No Run # 10

Due to some work issues, I was not able to run today during my lunch break. I may try to get out tonight after supper, but no guarantees.

ARHM Challenge - Run # 58

Made it out today knowing I didn't have enough time to get my full run in.

Here are my numbers:

		My results	Comments
Type of Run	Steady	steady	great
Distance	10 km	8.5 km	total: 356 km
Pace	6:48-7:48	6:44	good
Average HR	149-167	145	good
Max HR	180	161	good
Calories Burned		1083	total: 44242

Other than not having enough time to make my distance, which I would have done, it was a great run.

ARHM Challenge - Run # 57

Today was suppose to be a short LSD run, but since I've missed several of these runs of late, I decide to go farther than required.

Here are my numbers:

		My results	Comments
Type of Run	LSD	19:1s	great
Distance	6 km	14 km	total: 347.5 km
Pace	6:48-7:48	6:53	good
Average HR	149-167	144	good
Max HR	180	157	good
Calories Burned		1769	total: 43159

All in all, very good run. I like the fact that I was doing 19:1s without any issues and my pace and HR were very good. I feel good about next week's half.

ARHM Challenge - Run # 56

4th good run in a row. I'm really starting to feel better about my half.

Here are my numbers:

		My results	Comments
Type of Run	Steady	steady	good
Distance	6 km	6.25 km	total: 333.5 km
Pace	6:48	6:39	great
Average HR	under 153	152	little high
Max HR	180	167	high
Calories Burned		785	total: 41390

My HR was good up to 3k, but had to go up a little hill and I couldn't get it back down without stopping (which wasn't the plan). I'm very happy overall with this run as my pace was much faster.

ARHM Challenge - Run # 55

Despite the bad weather, I still made it out today.

Here are my numbers:

		My results	Comments
Type of Run	Steady	steady	good
Distance	8 km	6.25 km	total: 327.25 km
Pace	6:48	6:47	OK
Average HR	under 153	145	OK
Max HR	180	156	good
Calories Burned		789	total: 40605

I had planned on making it the full 8 k, but at 3.5 k I had some issues that gave me concern, so I cut my run short. So far this week I've done 20k in 2:15, which is decent, considering I did it without walking and all the runs felt good. Things are definitely looking up for the half. I don't expect a PB, but finishing in under 2:25 should be a good possibility.

ARHM Challenge - Run # 54

Made it out again today.

Here are my numbers:

		My results	Comments
Type of Run	Speed	steady	good
Distance	7 km	7.25 km	total: 321.5 km
Pace	6:04	6:49	OK
Average HR	161-169	143	OK
Max HR	180	156	good
Calories Burned		924	total: 39816

Had another good run today. My mind is starting to get focused. Let's hope I can keep it up.

ARHM Challenge - Run # 53

Made it out today and had the best run I've had in several weeks.

Here are my numbers:

		My results	Comments
Type of Run	Tempo	steady	good
Distance	6 km	6.5 km	total: 314.25 km
Pace	6:04	6:40	OK
Average HR	161-169	148	OK
Max HR	180	167	high
Calories Burned		824	total: 38892

My Max HR got up a little high near the end as the last 2 km is a slow up hill path. Other than that, it was a great run, especially since I didn't have to stop at any point.
