Week 1, day 2
Aug. 24th, 2026 08:32 pmSurvived the first day back at work after a week's leave. Celebrated by actually following my plan to go for a run on getting home.
This time I managed to turn on my fitness tracker half way through the warmup, so I have an amusing heart-rate trace where the 8 running intervals are very clearly visible. My overall pace was 10:04 min/km which isn't bad given I was walking most of the 24 minutes that I tracked.
It continues to be fine. It's definitely a sweatier workout than my bike ride to the rink, so it ticks the cardio box nicely, and I'm not struggling yet or hating it.
Next run Friday morning. The one after: probably next Monday evening. I need to figure out my skating schedule for next week first. I also want to err on the side of under- rather than over-training.
