educe

Educe - according to Oxford dictionary means "bring out or develop (something latent or potential)". It also means "infer from data".

Why I chose this... well, it sounds good for starters but on a serious note, I think, given the gross violations by humans on this planet in every facet of existence, there is always something we all have to learn and develop - from things that are potentially good in us and which has become latent over time...

Marathon training summary - 4 weeks after

If you have been reading regularly you probably know that I am training for a Marathon in December and my target is to do it under 5 hours. I know this is not a very ambitious target that requires a continuous blog post but nevertheless it is a big one for me.

I started training 4 weeks ago and out of that, 2 weeks have been pretty miserable with hardly any workout. But here are the stats:

Total distance: 37.6 kms

Heart Rate: Has been above 90% of my max HR

Shoes: Mizuno

Pain: Muscle ache everytime I do a long run. As my HR shoots up, I find it quite difficult going from the 4th to 6th km.

Target for next 4 weeks: 75 kms

I am mostly running on a treadmill in the gym at my apartment. I am not sure of there is a huge difference in running on a machine and running outside in terms of effort required. But training on a treadmill is quite convenient for me at the moment and I see myself continuing it for the next 4 weeks too.
