12/11 - 12/12/2006 Cycling & Running

12/11/2006 Cycling

It was a fantastically beautiful day, especially for December in Ohio. It started out pretty cold around 8 am about 35 degrees, but the promise of a 50 degree sunny day kept the early chills at bay. I started out by riding my typical route through Owensville, but this time I decided to take the route backwards to change it up a bit. It was pretty interesting riding the hills in reverse. I'll have to ride the route both ways and see which way is harder.

After finishing up the 23+ mile route I decided to ride the route that I had run the previous day to see how the ADEO faired this time around. The readings were much more accurate this time around.

The totals for both rides from the Cat Eye:

Odo: 1,927.04 miles
Dist: 31.42 miles
Time: 2:10.15
Avg: 14.4 mph
Max: 34.7 mph








12/12/2006 Running

Today was a bit of a mixed bag day. I had intended to get out and do some intervals to play with the interval options on the ADEO. I ran the 2 miles into town to a location to the beginning of an interval route that I had set up on RouteSlip. Using the .5 mile interval setting on the ADEO I was able to run a couple of .5 mile intervals with .5 mile rests in between. The goal was to run four total intervals, but I got cut short by rain. It was really unfortunate that I got cut short, because I was really enjoying the intervals. This is a feature that could come in really handy when I start training for the Flying Pig in January. So I managed 2 7:30 min./mile .5 mile intervals with two jogged half miles in between before calling it and running the two miles home. It was all good as I managed a total of a 6 mile run.

Totals from Timex:

Avg HR: 157
Peak HR: 179
Total Cal: 831
First 2 miles: 16:01 Avg HR: 149
Interval 1: 3:46 Avg HR: 160
Rest 1: 5:15 Avg HR: 151
Interval 2: 3:53 Avg HR: 166
Rest 2 & 2 miles home: 22:54 Avg HR: 161
