    • Easy Run

      October 13, 2021
      Gear: ASICS Gel-Kayano Lite 2
      For the first 45 minutes, I tried my best to keep my HR between Z2 and Z3.
      It was getting ridiculous and way too easy, even when I ran at 7:30/km pace the HR monitor was hitting Z5.
      I took off my watch and poured water over the HR sensor. It was recording better after that. πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

      I've decided that until I get my chest strap HR monitor I'm going to ignore zone training. It is just not very reliable. (I've ordered a HRM Pro from garmin). Will be finding out my LTHR and my correct HR zones soon.

      I also just realized that my garmin HR zones are different than the one that strava shows. I'll change my garmin zones to match strava for now.

      Damn, I thought this would be my first sub 2hr half marathon. Didn't see the distance before stopping the activity πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ
      Ran another 1k after this separately.

      Realized that this was only short of 190 meters to a half marathon.
      Which means I just have to add 1 minute 1 second to this run based on my 1k run after this.

      So that brings it to 1:57:20! 😍😍
      This is my first sub 2hr half marathon.
      Feeling fantastic! πŸ˜ƒ

      Which means I already ran a sub 2hr half marathon!

      I used 2 energy gels in this run, and 500 ml of water.

      First energy gel at 40min mark, 2nd at 1hr 30min mark.

      No energy gel before the run.

      Looking back, I feel there were definitely sections where I could have avoided the walking breaks,

      I was following the pace pro strategy on this course, I was more than 1 minute ahead of time.
      Just did not know that it would end up showing 20.09 as the distance.
      The course distance is 21.09.

      This was supposed to be a 40 min easy run in Z2. But at 37min when the podcast I was listening to ended, I said, "Ok google play queen on Spotify", it started off with Bohemian Rhapsody. I went like, now I can't stop for another 6 minutes.
      Before I knew, that 6 minutes turned into another 40 minutes.
      I did not use energy gel for this run,
      But I guess some music can give you the same type of energy that an energy gel can 🀫 πŸ˜‚

      Also, I didn't pay much attention to my watch today, instead I ran at what pace felt easy for me for certain sections of the run so the heart rate zones are a bit all over the pace.

      Warm Up
      6 sets of 1.6km rep at Speed Pace 5:24 to 5:34 /km
      3 minute rec jog at 6:53 to 7:26 /km between each rep
      Cooldown

      Used the Mango juice flavored energy gel by Pure 5 minutes before the run.
      Consumed 500ml water during the run.
      Took a few walk breaks to lower my heart rate.

      Overall, it was a good run.

      This will be the 2nd recovery week in the training.

      Ran the last 20 minutes at a faster pace.

      I used an energy gel for the first time in this run.
      It was the Orange juice flavored energy gel by Pure.

      Had the gel 5 minutes before the run, with 300ml of water.

      During the run I had 500ml of water which had a tea spoon of pink himalayan salt mixed in it.

      This energy gel was a pass βœ… had no funny side effects.
      I'll be trying out other flavors of energy gels in my upcoming runs.
      All the energy gels that I've purchased are caffeine free.
