My first venture into the dreaded 'yellow zone' today with miCoach from Adidas. Well, I should say, first ATTEMPTED venture into the yellow zone. I never quite made it. After running 15 minutes trying to keep pace with what that UK woman was repeating to me over and over, I was SHOT! Let me tell you something, it's hard work trying to keep a certain pace over x amount of time! I felt as if I was participating in a race! Basically, what this is all telling me is that I really need to calm the f*$% down. Sure, I need to train, but stop taking it all so seriously. It's not as if I'm earning a paycheck from it.
Sheesh.
Anyway, my next run is the Seaford Hot Chocolate 5k on Saturday.
Over and out. Really.
You mean, we aren't getting PAID TO RUN?!?
ReplyDeleteHow does the app determine your zone? Are you wearing a monitor?
ReplyDeleteI don't know what the algorithm is, but it has me run based on my subjective feel. It told me to run for 5 minutes at a level '4' on a scale from 1-10. Then, it asked me to run at a 6, 7, 8, and 9. I guess from there, it calculated how fast I was going by GPS. I'm sure it would have been much more accurate had I been wearing their monitor and pod. You can go in and manually insert your zones if you want, too.
