Test Run


Distance: 1.57 miles
Time: 14:23

I went out for a run today because I couldn't sit around any longer or my knee would start playing up. My feet still hurt but they weren't too bad over the very short run and carrying nothing other than my skinny ass.

I also couldn't put off testing my Forerunner 305 any longer which came while I was away. It's a lot better than running with my etrex and tells me my heart rate, pace, distance, etc while I'm running.

I found the run very hard because I am full of cold, another reason I decided not to complete the WHW besides for the feet. I had to go out though because I'm running the Raby 10K in just over a week!

The map above is a lot more accurate than the old GPS and I've added a heart rate graph which shows just how hard I was working. I'm above zone 5 and above my max heart rate which should be 194 for a short while at the end. I think this may look slightly worse than normal because of being under the weather.

I will probably go out at the weekend and run by heart rate and try to keep it in zone 3 and 4. Very impressed so far but not exactly an extensive test though!!

Nearly forgot here's a link to this run on 2 of the sites I'm testing:
