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 # 37

Made it out after supper tonight to do my Tempo run, and it did not go well.

Here are my numbers:

		My results	Comments
Type of Run	Tempo	various walking	not good
Distance	5 km	4 km	total: 211.6 km
Pace	6:04	6:34	not good
Average HR	161-169	???	not good
Max HR	180	???	not good
Calories Burned		482	total: 26345

I made it to 9 mins at a sub 6:00 pace and then I was getting chest pains so I walked. I had to keep walking past 1 min as it took me a couple more before getting my HR down enough that I wasn't feeling pain. I then ran for a while longer, finally walking after 10 mins. Overall, it wasn't a good run.

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 # 35

For the 2nd run in a row, I've run in the evening. This time I took my dog.

Here are my numbers:

		My results	Comments
Type of Run	Steady	steady	ok
Distance	5 km	5 km	total: 195.6 km
Pace	6:48	6:39	good
Average HR	under 153	146	OK
Max HR	180	156	OK
Calories Burned		632	total: 24385

Other than my dog making me stop twice (bathroom breaks), it was a much better run than the other night.

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 # 33

Decided, since I was feeling tired, that I would try to do 5k steady today instead of hills or a tempo run. Either way, it didn't go well.

Here are my numbers:

		My results	Comments
Type of Run	Tempo	walked plenty	not good
Distance	5 km	2.6 km	total: 183.6 km
Pace	6:04	9:09	not good
Average HR	161-169	112	too low
Max HR	180	140	too low
Calories Burned		280	total: 22884

Right from the start, I had no legs. I tried but barely made it to 1k before walking, then a did a little further, only to walk the other half back. I'm going to skip hills this week and move on to a steady run tomorrow, giving my legs a little break.

ARHM Challenge - No Run # 5

I ended up missing my Tempo run yesterday as we only came back from out family road trip late last night. Depending on how I feel today, I may do my Tempo run instead of Hills today as it is a little shorter run.

I'm hoping to have a little write up about our family trip soon (with pictures).
