Its the "RaceScreen" one - I think this should link to it apps.garmin.com It's the one which I think was posted on here because it includes the ability to manually lap and adjusts expected time etc "correctly" by resetting the accumulated distance up / down to the nearest mile. I've not used that bit, but as a display which shows "everything" it works ok. |

I just note how many seconds ahead or behind I am after each mile and run a total in my head.

That's sort of similar for me paul a - so if I have a couple of 7:30 miles, I'd think I need to get some 7:10s in to make up the difference. Bit vague, but I'm not usually trying to get a certain time, more just to get my "best" on that day.  G

It's not only me that does the seconds behind/ahead calc then!

Paul - I do that with seconds counting, but have made mistakes before after 10 miles, and you only need to lose/gain a minute when fatigued... so I only do it for short races.

Forecast changed to a bit of drizzle and the various forecasts are converging. Still light winds though. Broken myself with five miles at 8:40s and 6x100m low intensity strides at 5:40am

Great work larkim. Less is Best! I did even less Less than you though - didn't bother with my 5 or 7 miles or whatever it was meant to be. Didn't fancy it. But I did do one planned session - sports massage, with the very competent Sianan. I shall do a wee run today and I may throw in some very relaxed strides like the good larkim has done. Anyone carb loading yet?! I take carb loading very seriously (  *oink* ! ) I had a weight target of 71kg (should have been 70kg, but I was giving myself a break!) and I was 70.9kg this morning. Time to start troughing on pasta and sweets. Just as well because colleague has brought in some tablet (Scottish version of fudge, but with more sugar, I sh*t you not!) - nom, nom! G

Exactly my twisted logic jda - I don't generally choose to rise early for a run, but two evenings of meetings meant no running Tues or Weds nights, so this morning was the only option. Early night tonight will be welcome and I should sleep like a baby! Any takers for Chester parkrun in the morning? I'm in two minds about being there or being in Delamere, but if no-one from here is jogging it in the morning I'll stay local. |

Banana, apricots and a buttered scone for breakfast today, which is more than I'd usually have. Might need to find some more things to snack on soon though. Concentrating on hydration as I often get to early afternoon before I realise I've not had much to drink.
