Running 32:50 [3]
ahr:154 max:174
First run with my new heart rate monitor/watch!! It's a Polar Rs200 (but without the footpod which records distance/pace etc). I'm so excited to finally be able to record splits again, as well as get heart rate information. Here's what information I gained from my watch this run:

Total time- 32:50
Lap 1 - 15:31
Lap 2 - 14:59
Lap 3 - 2:19 (This was my warm down lap)

Heart rate
Average - 154 (77%)
Max - 174 (87%)
'Zone'* - 3 mostly, 4 second

Lap 1 max - 169(85%)
average -157 (79%)
Lap 2 max - 174 (87%)
average - 152 (76%)
Lap 3 max - 154 (77%)
average - 141 (71%)

Time spent in each 'Zone'
1- 00:00:12
2- 00:02:00
3- 00:17:52
4- 00:12:47
5- 00:00:00

Calorie- 385 kcal

*Zones are a zone of a % of max heart rate. They let you know how hard you worked that session.

Don't worry, I probably won't put in all this info each time I train now, but it's pretty neat to have it available. I think I can put it on a computer... I'll have to get home to find out.

The other neat thing about this watch is that I don't have to take an hour off the time each time I look at my watch.


And now actually about my run
Went from Josh's place up towards the Pinnicle, along the top of Hawker, to Weetangera. Wound through the streets a little then back down to Belconnen Way. Followed Belconnen Way home to finish off. The 'lap' was when I pressed the button about half way just playing with my watch a bit. Was a bit tired from work, I should have gone in the morning like I planned, but really didn't feel like it, plus Josh said he'd ride next to me if I did an evening run, so that's what ended up happening.

Woah, long entry!

Note
(sick) (rest day)
Felt pretty gross today, so I just had a rest day.

Big news! My watch arrived! *happy!!!*

Thursday Jul 10

Orienteering intervals 50:00 [5]
Cockies interval session set by El Luko over at Campbellwealth park. Started out running over to one end of Commonwealth park and doing two interval legs through there, including up the top of the castle and a speedy slide back down! Then through to Campbell for two more intervals. I cut the last one shorter, but was pleased to not have to cut the first three short for once.

Forgot to take any tissues with me, so I was a little clogged up, but my cold is deffinitely clearing up!

Pretty cold at the start today, the wind on the lake is bitter. I was very glad to have my gloves and headband that's for sure!
Running warm up/down 5:00 [2]
Warm up and down around interval session.

Times are still fairly approximate, I can't wait for my new watch to arrive! I really want to get splits reccorded again.

Wednesday Jul 9

Running 41:00 [3]
BL run with Dad, Rob the Dog, Nomi, and Shea-cara from Lennox gardens. Went up to Parliment house, around the little tracks up there, up the hills (with the super squishy green fancy grass), down the middle to old parliment house (with an educational stop off at the rock unconformity), around through the rose gardens, to the Magna Carta memorial, down to the lake edge and back round.

Tried to push my own pace a little, but probably stopped a little more than I should have trying to keep as a group. Really nice run though, it's always good fun to run with a group.

Didn't feel too sick today either, which was really nice! Just a little snotty.

Tuesday Jul 8

Note
(sick) (rest day)
Went to the Physio today to get my shoulder checked up on.

She said I've been making some good progress and that she's impressed with how I've been sticking to my training with it. It's deffinitely stronger, but does still need some work. Got some new exercises for it, and so I'll keep up with the training for about another three months, then go back and get it checked up on again. Might start doing some more parkour stuff now that it's getting stronger, but I'll build into it slowly and carefully so I don't do any extra damage.


Otherwise a rest day, feeling pretty crap.

Monday Jul 7

Parkour 2:00:00 [2]
Gym again. Getting front saults much better, and did some club juggling, whcih is surprisingly hard work!

Getting out of the foam pit is the hardest though, so much effort! :D

Sunday Jul 6

Orienteering 1:23:07 [3]10.8 km (7:42 / km)
(sick)
Long distance course at Goorooyaroo/Mulligans Flat for the Jim Sawkins memorial run. Did the Red 2, which was 10.8km (Red 1 was 15 or something crazy, didn't feel up to that). I decided to treat it as a normal Sunday run, and not really push myself as my nose is still blocking up when I start running, but isn't too bad the rest of the time. My goal was to make no mistakes, and be under 90 minutes, both of which I succeeded in doing!

Really enjoyed the course. I was actually out there running thinking 'Wow, this is really fun! I'm so glad I decided to do this!'. It was great to get into sections of the map that we just never get to, and to attack them from a different angle. Really made it a much more interesting run. Didn't see many people at all out there, so it was good practice to make myself keep going even if other people weren't around me.

Should do more of these, it was great fun!
Parkour 30:00 [4]
Parkour class, which I managed to get to after the run this morning. I felt like I should join in the conditioning part at the end. Surprisingly not hurting too badly today (Monday).
Running warm up/down 10:00 [1]
Warm up and down with the long run. Warmed up well, I didn't feel too crap at the start.
