5 Km is my Bitch
Finally broke the 5 Km out running. Just felt like carrying on running at the end of the first loop so ended up doing the next loop. A more mid foot strike means my calves aren’t hurting like that which stopped me getting past 20 minutes of running before.
Garmin Run
First run with my Garmin strap for my Garmin 500. Uses the Garmin mounting kit for the Forerunner 201 and 301 (but actually fits the Gamrin 500 as well). Note that with the 500, the device runs down your arm, not perpendicular like a watch. Nothing major but something to consider.
Garmin Going a Bit Mental…
Seems my Garmin is going a bit mental – those altitudes are very much out and that heart rate, whilst it looks reasonable, I’m not sure I hit 242 bpm!!
Time to sort out my bike and get back on that!
Post Airsoft Run
Slowly increasing the distance again. Slight ache of the feet after this one but that could well be the full day of airsoft yesterday as well.
To much to soon?
Been following the Inov8 guide to getting started with minimal shoes and last weekend I skipped a week out and went from 8 minute runs to 15 (due to an error in my route planning!). Anyhow, that passed fine and my run on Tuesday was fine at 15, so I thought I’d stick with the 15 minute run.
Seems like a mistake, I now have a pain across the left foot when walking. It’s fine with no weight on it but looks like I’ve become a casualty of the TMTS (To Much, To Soon) syndrome that Jason Robillard warns of 
. Looks like I’ll be dropping back until there’s no pain then ramping up again.
Second Run
Looks like the Garmin’s aren’t fantastic on short distances…
