Distance:10.07 km
Time:53:46
Avg Pace:5:21 min/km
Avg HR:160 (86%)
Max HR:188 (102%)

First half decent run since getting back. 99% humidity and the HR was still way higher than it should be for the pace. Was a struggle to get going in the morning, but a reasonable sleep last night and the sinus' are feeling a fair bit better. Need to roll the legs etc.

Distance:6.46 km
Time:36:55
Avg Pace:5:43 min/km
Avg HR: 156 (84%)

Horrible, horrible run. Last run on Monday was followed by a change in country and climate as well as being hit hard by a cold which has had me feeling wrecked since Tuesday. Today was 30c and my illness plus the temp just had my HR skyrocketing. Awful.

Distance:6.07 km
Time:33:53
Avg Pace:5:36 min/km
Avg HR: 137 (74%)

Last run in Korea for a while. A mild 1c so didn't need headband or gloves for the whole run or even tracksuit pants over tights. just tights and shorts. Easy going run keeping the HR low. Back in AUS tomorrow so will be interesting to see how the heat and humidity affects me.

Gonna miss this place. "Fighting!"

17km Aerobic Base Run

http://connect.garmin.com/activity/150348024

Distance:17.08 km
Time:1:28:51
Avg Pace:5:13 min/km
Elevation Gain:152 m

Longest in 4 mths which is good. Legs a bit gassed but overall felt pretty good. Had to take a toilet break at about 7k. Seemed like a reasonably comfortable pace with a bit of effort needed towards the end. Sitting on a bit under 52k for the week. Want to try and sit on about 60k for the next two weeks before hitting an initial endurance phase.

Time:1:01:36
Avg Pace:7:42 min/km
Elevation Gain:495 m

Tried to run it as much as possible. Approx. 35mins up and 25mins back down. Probably averaged 90% HR+ on the way up. Rested for about 8mins before heading back down to take some pics.

Panaroma from peak: 540m
Also - exported file into here - http://ridewithgps.com/trips/513634 which has some cool metrics like time spent in each HR zone and some other awesome graphs. Interestingly it also reads as 524m elevation gain.

Nice easy one after a day of snowboarding yesterday. Headed out at 8:30pm, turned all the alerts off the Garmin and just ran at an easy pace. Post tib, both sides, are pretty tight from the snowboarding. Gonna need massage when I get back home.

10km Moderate/Hard Base Run

http://connect.garmin.com/activity/148942067

Distance:10.01 km
Time:49:08
Avg Pace:4:55 min/km

Good to have a sub-5min k average. Fairly solid effort. Pretty much working at about 85% max I reckon. Heart rate monitor went crazy so took it off. Nice to be running like that again. Ran at night as well which was something different and quite enjoyable. Felt good. Left calf still niggly, shins good.

8km Aerobic Base Run (Treadmill)

http://connect.garmin.com/activity/148409237

Distance:8.03 km
Time:45:03
Avg Pace:5:37 min/km

Avg HR: 155 (84%)
Max HR: 173 (94%)

Must be much less efficient on the treadmill than outside. Was doing it tough for the whole time and at a slower pace.

Had a body comp done which put me at 73.3kg, 12% body fat, 0.87 waist/hip ratio. Not really sure of its accuracy, but my hip/waist ratio was reduced as well as weight, but not sure about anything else because the gym owner lost my original report from a month ago. Hopefully some increase in muscle mass.

7km Recovery Pace Run

http://connect.garmin.com/activity/148198458

Distance:7.45 km
Time:43:50
Avg Pace:5:53 min/km

Avg HR: 143 (77%)
Max: 174 (94%)

Tried to keep the HR below/at 75% of max - but a brief, but sharp, trip up into the mountain had my heart at max effort. Left calf is sore/tight/DOMS-y. Had a look at this random, giant outdoor rock climbing wall which is cool but I have no idea how you could get ropes to climb it.

6km Aerobic Base Run

http://connect.garmin.com/activity/147774580

Distance:6.11 km
Time:31:32
Avg Pace:5:10 min/km
Freezing out there today. Thought I'd lost my gloves (found them when I got back) and my hands and ears were in pain. Am recovering from another cold that I've picked up here, so not feeling great, but the run was ok.

5km Recovery Pace Run

Distance:5.16 km
Time:30:01
Avg Pace:5:50 min/km
Avg HR: 138 (75%)
Max HR: 150 (81%)

Easy run to loosen things up after a few hours snow boarding yesterday in Pyeongchang. Pretty stiff and sore all over after a few heavy falls and some very ungraceful boarding. Nice and warm here today at just below zero, but its getting a touch icy on the paths so am watching out for that.

41k's for the week and just a touch under 7 hours of training time including the strength work etc.

First time I've run for an hour in about three months. Felt good. Tiny twinge in the left shin late in the run, but nothing to concerning. Left calf usual.

35min Treadmill Run

http://connect.garmin.com/activity/146546154

Distance:6.36 km
Time:35:01
Avg Pace:5:30 min/km
Avg HR: 153 (83%)
Max HR: 169 (91%)

Haven't properly calibrated the foot pod for the shoes I was wearing. Felt like I was working much harder than what I would normally be at that pace, maybe not - maybe just tired. Pretty hammered after anyway.

Was just too cold (-11c)  for me to be bothered to run outside this evening after being out a lot during the day. Will try and run again tomorrow outside, but the paths are still a bit snowy so will be slowish I think.

Core: 

50-30-20: Sit ups (flat)
12-12-12: Back extensions

6km Recovery Pace + 40min Indoor Cycle

Distance:6.01 km

Avg Pace:7:42 min/km

Wasn't going to run, but after last nights heavy snowfall I couldn't resist hitting the trails for at least a tiny bit. Very beautiful, but slow going. Probably only did 2k on trail - the rest on paths. Couldn't run fast even if I'd wanted to because of a lack of traction on the paths. Ran in Minimus.
