The Infinite World

Just finished a 4km run at the stadium, 19min50.048sec. My weight did not decrease from last week, so still felt heavy when I run. Ran using a new pair of shoe, "Karhu" Flow Trainer. It's a shoe brand from Finland, it's seems to be able to correct my running style. I can feel my step landing in a neutral spot, kind of like landing in the middle of the feet. Feel good, hopefully I get the same kind of feeling on my next run.

Went for a short run, 10 laps at the stadium(4km). Felt heavy during the run, must have put on quite a bit of weight recently. Finished the run in 20min18.4sec. Wanted to run at least a 8km but was quite doubtful of the air quality. Have to watch my weight, otherwise my running will not improve. 

Did a early morning run at the stadium, 21 laps 8.4km, took m 45min26.96sec to complete. Been relying too much on the digital watch to gauge my running speed, this morning I did not look at my watch as its was too dark and too troublesome to keep pressing the backlite button. I had this kind of weird feeling, not knowing how fast was running. But I think it's good for training, it takes away the urge to running faster if you feel you are slow looking at your pace. It also helps to determine a pace which your body is comfortable without giving in to your brain telling you it's too fast or slow based on the stop watch. By looking at your watch, your  brain interprets the time and put a limit on your body subconsciously. 

Completed 14 laps at the stadium this evening, 5.6 km in 29min13.94sec.  Felt heavy when I run, only managed to get into a good rhythm around the 9 lap. Always want to run fast when I run at the stadium. Fastest lap was 1min34.85sec, don't think I can run fast if I do not start loosing some weight and strengthen my core muscle. 

Did a short run today of 4km at the stadium today, completed in 20min6.32sec. I initially thought of doing a 10km but the heat was just too much and just do not have the feel that I can do it. But I do get  a feel that I am at least getting stronger, as I did not have to put in much effort to complete this run. Have to really have the descipline to do some core muscle training to get faster.
