It was another productive week. I expected to do about 20 Kms but ended up doing a bit more. The Max HR on day 4 seems to be a problem in reading. The HR belt must have lost contact momentarily.

The Day 7 run was very tiring. I think the problem was two fold. I did not hydrate well on Friday and slept only for about 4 hrs. I think this made me very tiring and out of breath during my run. I stopped after 4 Kms and had to open the gym door to let some fresh air. Then continued running for one more KM and stopped. I was actually looking forward to do about 10 KM today. But maybe another day.

Also, I am installing a new software that will let me install Windows on my Mac. I intend to install a software called SportTracks which can provide a lot more insight on how I am developing as a runner.
