Ewen's Running Diary - 2012

Another running diary from a marsupial that Eats, Shoots & Leaves

This page is my running diary for 2012. Clicking here will scroll this page to the current week.
I also keep a blog of writing which is updated approximately weekly.

I have diaries going back to 1981, but most of them are written on paper. There were no personal computers back then. I started running in October 1979.

My running goal for 2012 - Run 5k in under 20 minutes.

Links to all my online diaries: 1988, 1991, 2001, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012

Goal: 5k in under 20 minutes.

Races: Some results will be here.

Numbers: There will be numbers.

Other words: I'll write something here at the end of the year.

[L] - lower aerobic run, average heart-rate 70 to 78% (easy run).
[U] - upper aerobic run, average heart-rate 83 to 90%.
[M] - Maximum Aerobic Heart Rate - 79 to 82% (130 to 134 for me). MAF training range.
[B] - race or interval session.
RS - "RS scale" (heart beats per kilometre). Ave pace per kilometre * Average HR. A low value on a particular course indicates good aerobic fitness.
AHR - Average heart-rate during a run or interval.
MHR - Maximum heart-rate for a particular run or interval.
(r) - Course run in reverse direction.
My maximum heart-rate is about 164 (I recorded 164 during an interval session in 2010).
Apparent Temperature is used.
