Running from zombies

[rmc28]

Mission 2 this lunchtime (sunshine, cold air).  38 minutes, about 3.75km of running in 28 minutes, bookended by 2x 0.5km of walking.

I continue to enjoy the story and I do find music a bit more motivational whereas speech is better at distracting-from-discomfort.  When I did powerwalking in 2009-10, I found that on long training sessions (10 miles+) I would prefer podcasts for the first two-thirds or so, and then as I started to get tired, my brain would gradually stop being able to process the speech and I would need to switch to music to keep me going to the end.  I think the mix of speech and music I'm getting in Zombies is working well for me.

My running playlist is basically "everything that looked as though it had a decent tempo" and I have the app pick from it on shuffle.  I got a very eclectic set of tracks today, which amused me.

More treadmill

Similar experience to Sunday, just a bit better. 15 minutes at 7 kph, 15 minutes at 6.5 kph. I could feel I was on the edge of triggering asthma but my fitness is improving enough that, along with being inside in the warm muggy gym, slowing down was enough to head that off. Just about managed 3.4 km total, by means of putting on a small burst of speed at the end and rounding up (the actual display said 3.35 but I'm pretty sure the treadmill's not accurate to within 10 meters).

If my next run goes ok, I'm going to have a go at starting Zombies, Run! after that.
