Training
#Week 5 runs - 5 min run, 3 min walk, 5 min run, 3 min walk, 5 min run, 5 min cooldown.
Ran through a local community fayre on the way and found them giving out ride in a horse carriage
Training
#Finished Week 4 of the runs. Unlocked a new app skin for getting halfway through the program.
Training
#Week 4 runs continue. My pace today was worse than the last run. Much worse :(
Training
#Week 4 runs starting. 3:00/1:30/5:00/2:50 run/walk intervals. A lot harder than the previous runs, but still feels good.
Training
#Week three runs finished.
Actually ran yesterday but had to break the run early since I ended up with a nose bleed part way through.
Redid the run later that day.
Training
#
Continuing week 3 runs. Today’s run felt easier – guess I’m getting used to the additional time for the runs.
Training
#
Week 3 Day 1, more effort than the previous runs with two 3 minute runs in the middle, but felt good afterwards
Training
#Final day of the Week 2 runs. Nothing major, same routine as the previous two, but decided to push the jog speed up a bit compared to yesterday.
Busy day tomorrow, so probably won’t be doing my run tomorrow.
Training
#Training today was in a hotel in Dublin so on Treadmill which screws up the tracking of the ZenLabs app. Second day of the Week 2 set of runs
Training
#
Continuing to work through ZenLabs' 5k app. Today, W1D3, 5min walk then 1min run/1.5min walk x8 and then cooldown.
A cold run today - bumped into a group of runners in the local park also doing intervals and they invited me to join them. Politely declined as they were doing small laps, and I wanted to do the larger laps.
Training
#
Today, W1D2, 5min walk then 1min run/1.5min walk x8 and then 5min cooldown.
Training
#
Starting to work through ZenLabs' 5k app. Today, W1D1, 5min walk then 1min run/1.5min walk x8 and then cooldown.
Also picked up Zombies Run again, and again, had problem with the app staying up - which was helped by me installing Greenify to keep some unwanted apps frozen.
Zombies Walking
#I dug out my old login credentials for Zombies Run and reinstalled to see of they’ve gotten any better since my departure. So far, I’ve been able to do a run (well, walk). With Apollo running without the app crashing on me, which is a definite improvement on what I had previously.
I seemed to have lost my entire base so I’m now having to rebuild from scratch. No matter, I’m replaying Season 1 again right now, anyway.
I also lost my ability to renew my legacy subscription so I’m on standard monthly subscription right now. The S1E1 story has changed slightly with a few additional clips explaining how to play the game and there’s a few new episodes which are showing as I haven’t done yet, which is weird since I’m pretty sure I did all of them.
Finally, got this after my return run.
And just in case you don’t get the references, Sam is talking about the song “500 Miles” by The Proclaimers.
Reviving running and new goal
#I’ve been slacking in my running for a fair bit, and not doing my usual distances.
This last week, I’ve been through the painful process of saying goodbye to my uncle from the viewing in the mortuary, to the final viewing, the funeral, and the internment of the ashes.
Cancer is a horrible condition, indiscriminate and relentless. But it doesn’t always mean death. Research has allowed cancer patients a good quality of life compared to a few decades ago and it continues to grow as research progresses.
In 2014 I did the Royal Parks Half Marathon (completion post here). It was a painful experience, but one I’m going to attempt to go for again. I’m going to train up for another Half Marathon and this time nominate a cancer charity. The current primary charity I’m thinking of is Cancer Research UK.
Training
#Haven’t run for a while, so this 3.5k run was a bit heavy going, but being able to hit around 5min/km consistently is good for me
Lunch Run | Run | Strava
#My run today. Combined it with a bit of Ingress playing but 8km in 43min moving time I’m actually happy with.
Training
#First time in a while I’ve done a reasonable distance. And 7k in just under 40 mins isn’t too bad, with an average of 5:31/km.
Training
#Damn, I am WAY outta shape….

#健毅 黃 was out running. He tracked 3.33 km in 19m:45s.
Damn…. I’m WAY out of shape. Whilst my pace is okay (I was doing 6min/km during the Royal Parks), I had and still have trouble lasting more than 3km right now. T_T
Back to the grindstone to get my endurance back up. 3kms for the next few days to stabilise my routine.
New Year Thoughts
#Okay, so I have decided to check my weight at the turn of the new year and I’m currently 10st 10lbs – 6lbs heavier than I was last year :(
Time to hit the road and burn off those calories.
Training
#Ran 3.2k on Christmas Day. Wanted to do more, but just didn’t feel like it….
Mind you, ran across this nice looking set of decorations on the way back

#健毅 黃 was out running. He tracked 3.53 km in 20m:41s. app.endomondo.com/workouts/…
Returning back to running after a period of being unable to breathe properly due to a cough. Still lingering slightly, but doesn’t now wake me up at 1am for a coughing fit.
Averaged 5:52 min/km so still within my 6min mark. Running with a Spotify Running list at 160bpm. Finding that’s letting me go slow, but not burn out too quickly.
Training
#健毅 黃 was out running. He tracked 2.78 km in 15m:06s. app.endomondo.com/workouts/…
Nice short run, just trying to get my form and pace back before increasing distance.
