A long flat run should be fast right? Right. Excellent. Yesterday, Hubs and I headed out for a 10km time trial run to see how quickly we could do it. Hubs managed a sub-60min (58 mins speed machine) and I was 1 hr 5 mins, which saw me with an average pace of 6'30/km! I was ridiculously excited about it, particularly my 5km time:
However, when I compared it with my husbands strava he had run physically much further than me and even went down past where I finished and only just made a distance of 10km. When I looked closely at my map, it was a jagged line all the way up the coast. I have now started looking at some other options to track my running. I started by asking a few runner friends what their thoughts were and what they had. It was a universal answer of garmin and the best suited seems to be the Garmin 210:
Will have to have a bit more of a think about it and do some more research, as these bad boys don't come particularly cheap.
With all the running and walking around yesterday, I also managed to meet my "beat my best" target for the global corporate challenge mini milestone:
Lucky I got it in yesterday as around 7pm it really started to rain, throwing out any hope I would have had to get another PB done today! Also, my legs are pretty tired.
Sunday has proven to be a bit of a rest day for us, with a great sleep in until 9:30am this morning followed by breakfast of champions - weetbix. Then it was a quick walk down to the local shopping centre to check out the sales (pathetic) and some Mexican lunch before heading back to our apartment to rest up before heading out for our amazing (belated) anniversary dinner tonight!
