Run and Bike October - Day 2

So today my first official run of October. I did a few laps of the pond near our house, and totalled 2.7km, a little over my 2km target.

I used the runkeeper app and was really impressed with it; during the run it gave me 5 minute updates through my headphone speakers; the display is also simple and easy to use.

My stats (don't laugh):
  • Distance: 2.68km
  • Av Pace: 7.48min/km
  • Stride rate: 152 steps/min 
The first 1.5km or so was painful, I wanted to stop, but after then my body adapted and I got a bit more into it. One thing that suprised me is my stride rate; I made a conscious effort to keep it high but clearly I didn't do a good job because it's still quite a bit under the 180steps/min recommended. I'll try to speed that up next time!



My run soundtrack was The Best of Bollywood album (which I've loved ever since listening to it non stop in India), and the sun was setting as I finished my run and stretchout out on the jetty, so I took a quick snap.
