Been a little while, but in the meantime, I've fully gotten into running. It's currently my main form of exercise. I'm currently running about 35KM/week, and doing 4 runs/week. I'm looking to consistently run 5 days/week, which shouldn't be an issue now that I'm on school holidays.
I don't have much in the way of goals, apart from a sub-20 5KM PR, a sub-50 10KM PR, and to run a half-marathon. All of which are very much achievable, but the first two require more concentrated speedwork on my part. ("Conversational" pace for me works out at roughly 5:30/KM.) I currently need to build up my endurance base (my longest run is 16KM, or 10 miles, which I've only ever done once), before realistically being able to complete a half. I'm hoping to achieve all three of these goals sometime in the new year.
(In case it wasn't already completely obvious, I enjoy distance running over short- and middle-distance running.)
I recently got my first running watch, a Garmin Forerunner 165. It's completely changed the way I run. Yes, it cost a great deal of money, but not having to carry my phone with me on runs, along with having access to biometrics like HR and VO2 max, absolutely makes up for the fact that I spent most of the year saving NZ$300 to purchase it.
