ARHM Challenge - Run # 11

Made it out for a shorter Tempo run today.

Here are my numbers:

		My results	Comments
Type of Run	Tempo	steady	good
Distance	3 Km	3 Km	total: 51.9 km
Pace	6:05	5:45	great
Average HR	161-167	156	close
Max HR	180	167	good
Calories Burned		366	total: 6240

Manage to run faster today, over a shorter distance and I didn't lose as much on my way back, even though I was feeling tired. I need to pick up my speed some more so that my Average HR is in the proper range for these types of runs.

Amazing

I just had the opportunity to meet Canadian Astronaut Chris Hadfield. I brought my family, including my mother and 2 of my daughters friends along, and we listened to him speak about the Canadian Space program and what it's like living in space. He had a slide show with incredible pictures that just added to his speaking. My son even had the opportunity to go up on stage with him as Chris did some weightlessness demonstrations.

That was an experience I will keep with me for some time. If you ever have the opportunity to meet an astronaut, do so, as they have amazing life experiences to share.

ARHM Challenge - Run # 10

Went out today for my Tempo run.

Here are my numbers:

		My results	Comments
Type of Run	Tempo	steady	good
Distance	5 Km	5 Km	total: 48.9 km
Pace	6:05	5:55	good
Average HR	161-167	159	close
Max HR	180	189	expected
Calories Burned		611	total: 5874

I went out fast and did my first half in 13:32, but then slowed down for the way back as I was feeling it. Overall, a sub 30 5k is great for me.

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.

ARHM Challenge - Run # 8

Made it out after lunch for my run.

Here are my numbers:

		My results	Comments
Type of Run	Steady	steady	good
Distance	3 Km	3 Km	total: 34.9 km
Pace	6:48	6:18	great
Average HR	under 153	150	great
Max HR	180	157	great
Calories Burned		378	total: 4160

I had difficulty getting my HR down, but it was still below my max for the average and my pace was a little faster than yesterday. I do have to say, running after eating is not always the best choice as I kept burping it up during my run. Oh well.

ARHM Challenge - Run # 7

Made it out today for yesterday's run.

Here are my numbers:

		My results	Comments
Type of Run	Steady	steady	good
Distance	3 Km	3 Km	total: 31.9 km
Pace	6:48	6:20	great
Average HR	under 153	148	great
Max HR	180	156	great
Calories Burned		379	total: 3782

I set my watch to Alert me if my HR went over 158 and it never did. I even managed to run pretty fast (by my standards) in the process. Very good run.

ARHM Challenge - Run # 6

Made it out in the heat today.

Here are my numbers:

		My results	Comments
Type of Run	Tempo	steady	good
Distance	4 Km	4 Km	total: 28.9 km
Pace	6:05	6:11	little slow
Average HR	161-167	150	too low
Max HR	180	163	OK
Calories Burned		501	total: 3403

I thought I was pushing hard, but my HR says otherwise. I guess I will need to push harder next time, even though my 2k back was 34 secs slower as I was getting tired.
