4.16 mile run, 36′51”, 8′52” pace, 372 kcal, ahr 145 bpm, mhr 181 bpm.

I’m going to blame the slower-than-usual pace on the fact that this run was a “recovery” *ahem* session after yesterday’s 9 miler.
I don’t know if it’s good or bad to note that the calories burned during this run are the same number of calories you’d find in 2/3 of an 8″ Pizza Express Sloppy Guiseppe – one of my fave pizzas :)

2 mins to put ’em on, almost 37 mins to burn ’em off. Shame I’m such a fast eater :)

9.17 mile run, 1h 19′54”, 8′42” pace, 974 kcal, ahr 152bpm, mhr 186bpm.

Phew! My usual, longer weekend run was hard going today, even after my rest day yesterday. Nonetheless, 8’42″/mile over 9 miles isn’t too shabby.

3.98 mile run, 32’53”, 8′15” pace, 373 kcal.

I can’t quite decide if the better-than-usual pace for this evening’s run was due to the fact it was sleeting/snowing, about 2-4°C and I just wanted to get back into the warm ;) or if it was because I just felt strong from the off? Perhaps it was a bit of both.

Mixed in a few sprint-ish stages with recovery jogs; the technical term for this kind of ad-hoc running is a fartlek. I can’t help smirking when I hear this :)
