Week 4, Day 5
Phase: Pre-Marathon
Workout: 30 to 40 minute easy run
No problems tonight with my well deserved easy 30 minute run. Legs were a bit stiff from yesterday’s challenging workout, but that was to be expected. Actually I didn’t feel as bad as I thought I would.

Stats:
4.15 miles in just over 31 minutes.
Average heart rate – 136bpm.
Mile splits – 7:39 7:24 7:22 7:22

If you’re wondering where the stats came from (don’t worry, I know you probably weren’t), I broke down and picked up a Garmin 405 today. Initial impressions are excellent – easy to set up, size and weight almost perfect, easy to use and best of all no messy wires to connect to the computer.

Full details of the run can be found at my Garmin Connect page which means you’re probably going to have to do without those annoying MotionBased maps for a while. It’s ok, I can hear you cheering….
