The week in review: February 26 - March 3.

This is my second week of documenting my running, and I'm amazed at the improvement.
  • Distance run (including warm-up/cool-down): 30.83 km
  • Treadmill runs: 1
  • Outdoor runs: 5
  • Best average pace for an outdoor run: 6:44 (over 4km)
  • Longest outdoor run without a walk break: 4.42 km
  • Total distance run since starting: 484.94 km
  • Current aim: Improve my outdoor running endurance. 
My endurance is certainly getting better this week - I even managed 2 x 30 minute outdoor runs.

I did my long run (45 minutes) on the treadmill this morning.  I didn't think I could make 45 minutes outside, especially given that I felt like I was dying toward the end of the 30 minute runs.

I had a bit of a play with the Garmin for the treadmill run though and have found that by setting a goal heart rate it's much easier to complete the run without the dying feeling!  I'm planning on putting this to work outdoors this week and seeing how it translates.
