HM training week8 day1 - 25mins zones 1&2, 25mins zone 4, 5mins zone 2

My watch must have dropped GPS for some reason. It’s recorded all the run stats including distance but only the last part of the route.

35 minutes in zones 1&2 then 25 minutes in zone 4, though that was helped by running uphill against the wind for a bit. My pace has actually improved, so the training is working, but if someone could tell me how to get down from zone 4 to zone 2 within the five minute cool down time, I would be grateful!

It was gorgeous out there today, lovely warm, sunny early autumn weather, sunflowers and dahlias in the gardens, conkers on the trees. However, I didn’t realise it was going to be so warm and didn’t take a drink and sweated quite a bit, so felt faint when I stopped running. I was fine once I got home and got some liquid down my throat. My body is fitter this year: last year I got very red in the face but hardly sweated; now I sweat more and am cooler.

Edit: have just noticed it didn’t record the hr zones correctly either.

That was a lovely run for you today Flick apart from you feeling a little faint, the way you describe your run was excellent, the weather has been a bit autumnal recently, however, they say summer is to return later this week, might be a bit warmer running, I am so glad that your pace has improved and your face isn't as red as last year.

Thank you. That made me 😊

Meanwhile I’ve spent hours trying to get through to polar to see why my watch only recorded route and hr for the first part of the run, but recorded pace, distance and time correctly
