January Running log

15/1/26 Night run/Walk

Looking at this in terms of segment bagging, I've got this wrong and it's become apparent you have to do the run, the right way round. So the "Flyover to Underpass" my effort was put in from the run out from the start which is Underpass to Flyover, so that massive effort wasn't recorded. My time which has beaten my previous record is now 2.59 and that was recorded at the back end of the run where I was taking it easy, but I'll take it anyway as it's a PR. 

But there's some work to do even if do it in reverse - I've got to take a minute off my current time. But I'm hopeful, because look at the other segment...

I've smashed it and beat the previous record by 12 seconds, but it looks like the previous bloke was taking it fairly easy with heart rate of 119. 

I'm still doing this in run/walk splits, I'd like to be able to do this running the entire time which I've only done once and that was when I did 5K with my son Ben as a pacer and he ensured I ran the whole distance, so I can do 2K easy enough it's just a case of pacing myself. 

This above is the other record I beat which is a segment that I set up. I've set a target for getting this down to 10 mins, but looking at the fastest time across all ages the record is 8.18, making me think 11 mins may be more realistic? But anyway a new PR tonight which was nice. 

Longer term there's a segment I want to create and one I want the record for. The one that exists is Two Tree Island which is 2.27KM and some other old bloke holds that for 12 mins and something. The one I want to create is Southend Pier to Benfleet which is a smidge over 10K. So once Spring makes a showing and we've got some light I set that one up with a run/walk.
