#19 – 50 runs in 100 days – Summer edition

I have had issues following routes with my Suunto GPS pulse watch. Suunto Customer Service have been helpful and I have tested different things but nothing has helped. What happens is that max 0.6K is registered and then all other values get screwed up, one time the pulse watch even lost the route, lucky me I was on Tjörnarparen which nowadays is a familiar route. The pulse watch made a trip to Finland to the technicians who responded that nothing was wrong with the pulse watch. I assume they have been sitting in their lab using their troubleshooting tools and have not been running with the pulse watch and followed a route.

But I was determined not to give up and informed Customer Service about my disappointment, lately I have felt that they have tried to dilatory but then a Customer Service person asked me to do GPS reset which I did last week.

Tonite it was time to test following a route again and to be on the safe side I had my Apple Watch on my left hand using Strava.

First I thought that it was the same shit but at 1K I saw 1K and said hurrah.

The temperature showed 30oC (86F) before I st.arted my run so running skirt and linnen, waterbelt with two water bottles. Me, running and heat are not best friends so it would probably be some walking.

I am participating in another challenge this month called ”Run Til U Fall”. How does it work. July consists of 31 days and each day you are going to run as much as the day of the month, so July 1, 1K, July 10, 10 etc so you need to buffer in the beginning, you get bonus k’s if you run for example 20K July 1st you have 19 bonus k’s. Walking is also ok to register so I have walked a bit more this week and my left knee was not happy this morning but I put liniment on the knee before I ran and I will see tomorrow how it feels, have decided not to run Friday so I can rest til Saturday when I will do a longer run before vacation when I will not run any long runs.

Well it was warm, my knee was not complaning during running, on my first walking I felt a bit in my knee but when I started running again I was fine.

So walking from time to time and drinking and wet my hair. There were parts of the run when I was running longer but it was also a breeze then.

I have forgotten part of the run because it was a while ago since I ran it last time so it was nice following the route.

Slowest before when I have been running the whole route has been around 1 h 20 min.

Distance: 12.39K, time: 128.51.6 h, average heart rate: 133, average pace: 7.10 min/k,  max pace: 5.25 min/k, cadence: 162, VO2 Max: 26 ml/kg/min
