Today I started out at a very brisk pace of 9:15/km. I was ready to climb right over the top of the treadmill. By the second km I slipped to 9:29/km, respectable but not great. On the third km I was at 9:41/km, clearly paying the price for my earlier enthusiasm (though I felt decent, really). I only saw the heart rate on the treadmill blip to life a couple of times so the light grip seems to be improving.
I originally started playing random songs for the workout. The iPhone music app now shows a list of upcoming songs when you select shuffle play–which sort of removes the surprise aspect when you think about it–and I noticed almost all of the upcoming songs were poop for workouts, so I manually shuffled a mix of stuff I deemed acceptable. Sometimes technology is great, sometimes it’s better on paper.
The stats, most of which are improved once again. BPM was likely up a bit due to the blazing pace of the first ten minutes.
