september 30th

45 min run at 2.20pm, the first run was at 10.56am
i ran 4.82 miles in total.

avg - 12.33 min miles, 139 bpm

max - 4.54 min miles, 146 bpm, again i think it was a blip on the watch because i never went that fast.

felt good, had rucksack on my back with both of the runs with my books in them, so made me slower.
43.57 min run, 4.67 miles total

avg - pace - 9.20min miles, 140 bpm

max - pace - 3.54 min miles and 151bpm, i don't know how the pace got so high, must be when i was going downhill or could be a blip on the watch.

monday 29th september

1 hour run, 6.92miles in total.

avg - pace 8.40min miles, 150bpm

max - pace 4.29 min miles, 157 bpm.

sunday 28th september

2 hour run, but i must have knocked my watch and paused it, because it stopped at 1hr 58 mins and 53 seconds. so this info is for that time.

11.93 miles in total

avg - pace - 9.58 min miles, 141 bpm

max - pace - 4.56 min miles, 174 bpm, this was going downhill for like 20 metres and i slowed down straight away, but tbh i shouldnt have let it get that high, this was at about 1 hour 40 mins.

this felt better than last time, and i did get that dry feeling but it happened early so i might not have been drinking enough water.

4.67 miles in total, 39 mins

avg - pace - 8.59 min miles avg, 144 bpm avg hr

max - pace - 5.19 min miles, 152 bpm.

11am

3 mile run, 26.45 mins

avg - 8.51 min miles, 140 bpm avg

max - 6.09 min miles, 154 bpm

then i went into the gym and did some stretching and started weights at 12 noon

i did 35 squats, 35 calf raises, 35 lunges, 35 hamstring curls 3 sets altogether with no rest and a 40 kilo bar, i could really feel it on my glutes when squatting which was good because it shows im activating the right muscles.

didn't do any other training apart from a 30 min walk after work at 7

glutes feel like theyve been working hard and hams too which is good, so having a good rest this eve and then getting up tomorrow to go to uni and will run there at the same pace. this could be a continuous thing, a fat burning run twice a day and then a quicker session in the evening, but to be honest i was quite tired after today and it would take me a while to get used to this training.

september 23rd

14.26 mins run, 1.63 miles in total

8.53 min miles avg and 134 avg hr

6.45 min miles max and 142 bpm max

didn't go for another run in the evening as had a goodbye thing for alex jackson.

felt good, was a better fat burning run than last weekend, added the 5 mins hard at the end to teach my body to change energy burning systems, was good to see that after almost 2 hours of slow running that i could change pace nicely, also it was uphill for the last 5 mins.

avg - pace - 8.57 min miles, 142bpm

september 18th

25 min warm up run - 2.68 miles in total

avg - pace - 9.20 min miles, 137bpm

max - pace - 7.40 min miles, 147 bpm

then i went straight into my main run

30 min run - 4.33 miles in total

avg - pace - 6.56 min miles, 175 bpm

max - pace - 5.07 min miles, 181 bpm

mile breakdown:

1st mile - 6.42 mins, 174 bpm avg - surprising as there was a 300m quite steep hill in there

2nd mile - 7.01 mins, 176 bpm avg - flat and steep downhill so was going slower as not to fall

3rd mile - 6.36 mins, 176bpm avg this was mainly flat

4th mile - 7.18 mins, 177 bpm avg - this was mainly uphill, at least half a mile uphill

last 0.33miles was done in 2mins 22seconds, 7.14 min mile avg, 176 bpm.

altogether was an alright run, felt a few niggles here and there but i suppose its just getting used to the pace as having not run like that for a while, no problem sustaining the heart rate. Feet stung a lot after finishing is my only main complaint.

has been a hard week may take 2 days rest or have a day non impact and swim 45 mins

gym session

2 circuits leg and then upper body

about 5 mins rest between circuits.

upper body circuit - 30 chin ups, 30 sit ups, 30 side planks ( the 30 comes from amount of times putting arm from flat on my side to straight up in the air.), 30 press ups. i did 3 sets there was no rest between reps or sets.

felt a bit sickly after but that was because it was my first session i think. had a 30 min walk and then went for a run

avg -pace - 9.06 min miles, 145 bpm.

max - pace - 6.48 min miles - 154 bpm

was just cruise run, to remind my body i am a runnner, but i didn't want to do too much and end up getting injured. Altogether a good day i felt.

the last 1.90 miles was in 127 bpm and took 27.57 mins

possibly the most physically painful thing i have ever done, but that was just on my feet, my legs were a little tired but it may have been too slow to take a true fat burning affect, is that possible?

september 13th

i went for a full out run to see what happened and how i felt, i picked a 2 mile course, and i want to keep doing it and see how i improve by just burning it until i hit the wall and then seeing what happens when i keep going, in future i'll press lap on each mile so i can get more details about it. one note on this session was going uphill the small of my back was hurting, obviously due to lack of core stability since not training so am going to start doing some pilates once or twice a week and seeing how that goes. one final thing, i started struggling at about 7mins 20 secs

2.05 miles, 12.38mins, 1st mile was in 6 mins

September 10th

30 min run

avg- 9.27 min mile pace, 138bpm

max - 4.06 min mile, 156 bpm

my watch stopped at 24 mins 49 secs, and the distance covered at that point was 2.63 miles. i think i must have bumped it but i kept going for 30 mins, i know this because i met my girlfriend from work and i kept running until she had finished and came out. It felt ok, not a hard pace obviously, but it was just comfortable, i think the pace was high for my max because of a steep downhill.

sept 4th

gym in morning, not a proper session really, just getting used to lifting the weights again and working out what i am going to do. next week i want to do a pilates session on the tuesday, gym on thursday and then pilates on saturday.

was in the gym for about 1.5 hours, did some squats, lunges, deadlifts, calf raises and dips, all with 60 kilos, only 2 sets of 15 reps though, i think i may lower the weight to start and then do more reps and build it up.

then i went for a 30 min run - 3.75 miles

avg - 8.00 min mile pace, 156 bpm

max - 5.44 min mile pace, 168 bpm

felt ok i dont feel weak or sluggish, just a bit rusty, and just need to get back into the grind of things, didn't run for the last week because my grandad died and so have been writing a euligy and then being in liverpool too, but now im back and sorted i shall get back into the grind of things and get back on top of training, i just need to know whether i need to keep on with the 30/45 min runs and upping the sunday runs, or throw in a speed session.
