Short run: 3.2 miles, 34:08, HR ?, RPE 5-8, splits 10:20, 11:14, 10:11<\/p>\n
Well, the Forerunner is not as accurate as I hoped. The elevation and grade measures are way off at times (losing satellite signal is part of the problem, but also I was reading that due to the nature of GPS, the data can’t be accurately collected fast enough to do well at something like grade). And apparently pace is not necessarily accurate either. Bummer. I still think it’s helpful though. People say that moving the unit to your bicep or shoulder greatly improves the accuracy (because your body isn’t shadowing it from the sky as much). I might try that, although I can visualize falling over trying to look at the screen!<\/p>\n
A decent run, certainly nice & fast, but I was focusing too much on the Forerunner to pay enough attention to my body, the world, etc. I’m a little tired–11 miles in three consecutive days, & not getting enough sleep with Jonathan out rehearsing for Drop Dead<\/a> and coming home late every night. Things will settle down next week, I hope. I wonder how going back to morning runs will affect speed etc.<\/p>\n I wore my new shoes–they are so cool! They’re light green on the inside so they almost look like they glow. These will be my marathon shoes; I have enough miles left in my older pair to do most of my training, so I’ll try to keep these clean & newer looking.<\/p>\n 107 days, if I’m counting correctly!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Short run: 3.2 miles, 34:08, HR ?, RPE 5-8, splits 10:20, 11:14, 10:11 Well, the Forerunner is not as accurate as I hoped.
