Workout for Oct 31st.

by Harry on October 31, 2009

in Workout Logs

This evening I went for a run and decided to use the runkeeper app for the iphone to record my run. You can see the results here. I ran 3.73 miles in 34:17 thats an average speed of 6.53mph. What is interesting is that toward the end of the run about a mile from home is a little hill, I always have to work a little harder here but what I didn’t realize that in working harder I was also increasing my mph from an average of around 6.5 to 10.3mph. I’ll be using the runkeeper app each time I go for a run from now on.
