Wednesday 31 October...HALLLOWWWWEEEEEEENNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!
Run, fartlek 3.25 miles.
I deiced to run out and have a nice fartlek session, i realised that all my recent running has been pretty steady paced, either short and fast, or middle and less so with a neg split. So today the aim was to have fun, and try and steal a strava segment that i am 10th on from an easy run. So i set off at a nice conservative pace to get the legs loosened up before the start of the segment and then went for it...assuming the garmin has recorded it correctly (which is not guaranteed) then i expect to have the segment unless someone else has already taken the time from when i got 10th a few weeks ago. Got to the end and my god my lungs weren't happy. it was a touch cooler than expected and so hammering for a quarter mile or so at the start wasn't a good idea. Anyway had a few fast and a few slow bits from people being in the way, and some regular paced stuff. total distance was 3.22 miles in 21'47, so average pace about 6'48 or something. first mile was 6'42, second was 7'02 and 3rd was about 6'45 or something...no HR data because i didn't remember to bring the monitor.
