a few weeks in - musings of a moover

So, I've now had the Moov for a few weeks - life has been busy, and I haven't got out quite as much as I would have liked, however, I am already seeing some changes. I've been focussing mainly on the running efficiency program of the Moov - I generally find that my legs get sore when running, so decided that if I could make my style more efficient and less impactful, I would be able to train longer and harder, and the speed would come back. So, I have moved through the levels, and am definitely noticing a change in the way I run. LAst night, I decided to do a test.

A few weeks ago, just before I got the Moov, I'd done a 7.3km run - I was only just getting back into running, but it was a reasonable effort.... I did the same route last night - and here is the comparison

KM 9/9 28/9
1 4:53 4:37
2 5:04 4:51
3 5:09 4:55
4 5:11 4:49
5 5:32 5:08
6 5:22 5:00
7 5:10 4:54
0.3 5:54 5:07
total 38:23 35:59

Part of the gain here is just that I have been running mroe, so the fitness is coming back - but the interesting thing here for me is the consistency of pacing... in the second one, I have a much more flat pace, than what happens in the first, when I set off but then slow down quicker - theres more variation, as I fight against my leg tiredness. I think this is a Moov benefit. Will keep doing this session to track improvements once a month or so.
