Long time no postings
It has been long time since I last posted something here.It's because I have been lazy: in trainings and in writing as well.First I had some family issues that prevented me going out to running: my wife was away for 5 days so I had to keep eye on my 3 years old son. That's too young to leave him home alone, and I do not have means to take him with me during running. I could have find some time while he was in kindergarten (and I was supposed to be at work), but I was a bit too lazy for that. Then I was supposed to have "fun marathon" at 22. November, so when I missed a training day after wife arrived I decided avoid going out at day before.
Unfortunately I didn't manage to go to race. At race day very early morning I started to nauseate and vomit. Felt really bad for whole day, and had a temperature about 38.5. Luckily the temperature fall rather quickly so I was almost normal in following day. But I felt a bit too tired (and was a bit lazy as well) for following week, so there was a bit longer break in trainings. To be honest I should have gone out and took some brisks walks... But, as I said, I was lazy.
The first training after break was at 3. December. That was easy 30 minute jog. I used the Polar "OwnZone". It suggests training heart rate zone based on HR data during the warm up phase of session. But I do not think it is worth of tracking the given HR zones as I do not intend to use that feature much. Next one was at Friday, 5th December, again 30 minute jog, and again OwnZone. I forgot to start the miCoach app in phone so I do not have GPS length for that run. On Saturday I made a bit longer jog, 50 minutes. On that day the weather wasn't too good: there was wind together with snow powder. That wasn't problem in first half when wind was from back. But when I turned back it started to hurt my face. So I increased the speed so I could get home more quickly...
The next training I took was on Tuesday, 9th December: 40 min green. And today I made a 35 minute blue recovery.

Weather for today run was a bit cold: temperature +2°C, small breeze. According to
Clothing: T-shirt, 2 x long sleeve shirt, track suite, wind stopper, ski hat. gloves.
Started using Strava
I think I have already told that I'm part of miCoach "Marathon Dream team 2h59" (https://community-micoach.adidas.com/groups/dream-team-2h59) group. The organizers of the group also made "club" in Strava, http://www.strava.com/clubs/micoachers. I was a bit curious and wanted to test it out as well, so I created a profile in strava: http://www.strava.com/athletes/7221211 Currently I have some troubles with auto upload activities from miCoach system to Starava, so I have to download & upload each training manually. I will complain about it in miCoach forums soon...Polar OwnOptimizer test
I also didn't hold uop with promise to make regular OwnOptimizer tests. Now, as there has been long training gap and illness in between I suppose I have to reset the baseline to get new "normal" average values.
I added thee test results into table. They are actually a bit hard to explain to myself... "Hard training" after rest day (was it sign of coming illness, 5 days later?), and overreaching a week after illness... Maybe not so hard to understand after all...
| Date | HR Rest | HR Peak | HR Stand | Result | Previous day |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 9.12.2014 | 58 | 115 | 79 | 2 - Normal | Rest day |
| 3.13.2014 | 58 | 117 | 80 | 7 -Overreaching | Rest day, week after illness |

Happy running,
Gert
