Here are my numbers:

Right from the start, I was feeling the run. I ended up walking 1min at 20 mins and 31 mins. It was also very hot and with the dead air coming back, the sweat was pouring off of me.

ARHM Challenge - Run # 48

With my wife out of town yesterday, I didn't get to run. I did make it out today with my son in our running stroller.

Here are my numbers:

Other than the fact that it is an extra workout pushing my son in the running stroller, the run was a good one.

ARHM Challenge - Run # 47

Today was suppose to be speed training, but with my recent issues on my tempo runs, I decided to just do a steady run.

It wasn't the best pace, as I was feeling tired, but I got through it.

ARHM Challenge - No Run # 6 & Run # 45

I spent the weekend camping with the family, so I missed yesterday's Steady run.

Tonight, after supper, I made it out for a LSD run in the rain.

Here are my numbers:


My results Comments
Type of Run LSD 10:1s good
Distance 18 km 10 km total: 268 km
Pace 6:48-7:48 6:30 fast
Average HR 149-167 147 great
Max HR 180 159 OK
Calories Burned
1237 total: 33258

I know I didn't make the distance for today's LSD run, but I did what I could in a very fast pace, so I'm very happy about my run. I did have to stop at 5.5k for a bathroom break, which probably helped me, but I still did some running.

ARHM Challenge - Run # 44

I had a previous engagement at lunch today, so I made it out for my run after supper. This time I took my dog with me and she is getting much better with not pulling so much at the beginning. I think she knows we are going for a long enough time and she needs to conserve her energy to make it to the end.

Here are my numbers:
My results Comments
Type of Run Steady steady good
Distance 8 km 7 km total: 258 km
Pace 6:48 6:51 close
Average HR under 153 148 good
Max HR 180 160 OK
Calories Burned 889 total: 32021

I was suppose to do 8 km, but it was getting late so I decided to cut it short. I was feeling good and I know I could have done the extra km.

ARHM Challenge - Run # 43

Made it out today for hills and this time I had a good run.

Here are my numbers:

I never had the intention of making it to 9 hills as I did not have enough time. I do have to say that even after 7 hills, I was still feeling good enough to do 2 more. My pace for the 7 hills was a bit slower than previous (5:07/hill), but I got it done and I feel good about the run.
