Zombies, Run!
So I followed this app since I saw the Kickstarter page – I didn’t donate but I was quite happy to wait until the app arrived. I’m glad I did, it adds a bit of fun to my runs!
I tried it out today and got this as my first run.
Nothing fantastic but now I know how the app works, I’ll be turning on the Zombie Chases (basically HITT intervals!) just to mix up the runs a bit!
More details on Zombies, Run! can be found on their webpage 
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.
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.
Early Morning Run
Second Run
Looks like the Garmin’s aren’t fantastic on short distances…
