This week I managed to find time for two runs (and two tennis sessions). Not that bad considering a very hectic week and a heat wave like nothing we have experienced earlier. At least not as early as in May. I enjoy going to the beach, but I’m no good at running when it’s hot.
I did get myself a runners watch, so thank you all for your comments and recommendations. I settled on a Garmin Vivoactive 3. It sells as a smartwatch, but I was ensured by the sports store it works really well as a training watch. I was told it is much like a Forerunner 325 with updated technology. I’ve never tried the Forerunner, but that was my other choice, so it sounded good to me.

I haven’t really worked out how to set up a training session yet, and I am still testing the functions of the watch, so my apologies for the presentation.
Here’s the stats for this week:

Because I haven't worked out my watch yet, each interval is seen as a separate run
First run on May 21 was a longer run (long for me). @run.vince.run suggested for me to increase my range, I’d go running for an hour, not paying too much attention to speed. By the time I had finished my loop and returned to my house I’d been out for 53 minutes, so I figured that was close enough.
For my second session I did intervals. I don’t enjoy the speed runs! I did intervals of 500 meters, and although I felt tired after each run, I see from my stats that my average heart rate was higher in my long run than my intervals, so I can probably work on my ability to push myself.
