Opening the front door at 6am I really wasn't expecting to find it so warm and humid already ☹️ The sky looked threatening so I had my fingers crossed for some 🌧️
This run would be the last of Wk2 of the magic plan and the longest run I'd done in weeks, so I was slightly apprehensive plus a little worried about repeating Sundays Splat!
I'd set a workout on my watch (having watched a YouTube video) so I had a 10 minute warm up run with a target pace and then a 30 minute run at a bit faster pace. I rather liked the little graphic that showed how I was getting on, better than the loud buzz and BEHIND flashing up 😊 All was fine until the last 12 minutes or so when it got really hard work 🏃♀️ puff 🏃♀️puff🏃♀️puff… Frantic shouting from behind me and mad galloping as a very excitable Whippet overtook me and then did a brilliant impression of a handbrake turn to end up right in front of me 🤣🤣It was gone as quickly as it appeared and I struggled on puff 🏃♀️puff 🏃♀️puff
Finally stopped at 41.21 with a distance of 5.09k.
Back home looking through the data on my phone and Wow I absolutely love this! not sure what it really means but anything that says I'm 13 years younger than I am is brilliant 🎈🏃♀️🤣

Thanks for the link at least that explains it a bit more than on the app. I think its going to take a while understand all the different settings and data. It's a forerunner 45, I can't begin to imagine what some of the top of the range watches do 🤣
Brilliant effort, lovely to drop a few years, great work - my garmin doesn't show age 🤔 but my vo2max went up a point today - yay. It must have been so funny watching that whippet🤣🤣 happy running 🤗
I agree, no desire to change. Ran 10k today only checking to see if I'd run 8 or 9 k as I returned to village, ignoring pace - increased vo2max to 41, delighted.
Brilliant vo2 max , I got up to 41 a while back now more hills it has went down to 38 again . I feel like I'm running better what does garmin know anyway🤣🤣
Thanks Grannyhugs yes the Whippet was rather nice and so fast. My watch is the Forerunner 45, I'm still working out what it can do, think it'll take a while 😂
Mine went up and up after i’d been ill and at one point it said i had the fitness age of 79
Brilliant dijep! Sounds like this was a great run. Wonderful that you are winding back the clock ⏰!! I only found this feature on my 45s the other day and was so disappointed that my fitness age is two years more 😧!!! I’m not looking again!!! 😫
I'm very jealous of your winding back the years. My VO2 max has me aged 78, a poor specimen, must try harder etc. Its very annoying given that I can now run 9k non stop - surely that's not below average for a 61 yr old????
Mind you, if it said I was superfit and 10 years younger I would jump on it!!! 🤣🤣
