This run was my first run with mate John. I was a little worried about not being able to make the pace as he is pretty quick but he was a gent and stayed with me all the way and kept to my pace. Thanks John.
Anyway this was the water works loop. John ran to my house and then we set off together at my normal pace. I'm still not full over my cold/man flu and John mentioned that I sounded chesty. I told him I always sound that bad hehe.
Anyway nothing too eventfull in this run. john tried to talk to me while on the run and to start with this was ok but after a couple of km I was toast and couldn't utter more than 'yes' or 'no' in response. Quite amusing!
Made it around without stopping (I tend to on this run anyway) and John said he tried to speed up slightly on the last bit but I dont think I responded to it.
Had a chat on my back lawn afterwards and one of the topics was running watches/equipment. I am thinking of buying a watch/heart rate monitor/GPS device in the future and john had some suggestions.
Here are a couple. Anyone think these are good/worth it or are there any better ones:
Garmin Forerunner 305
Polar RS200 SD Black
Results:
Start Time: 13:15
Duration: 23:24
Distance: 4.74km
Avg Speed: 12.15kph (wow for me)
Ok this is my first run at over 12kph which I am impressed with!! Next run with John probably 2 weeks on Friday as he is off on his hols next week. Enjoy John.
