well keep providing feedback about how you feel and if at any time your legs feel painful walking up or down stairs then please let me know ..
your pulse in the am is important .. when you told me your am pulse was 64 .. that may be elevated if your normal pulse is 54 .. so yes, check your pulse each am when waking up
stay relaxed .. you will cope with a 60 minute 10k with quite some ease
relax .. it is there ..
let's keep playing by ear
till later

Hi TheEd
Woke up this morning feeling really good. Checked my pulse rate, its 60 today.
Sometimes, my calves and right ankle ache (not pain) after a run. The ache will go away after a day. I'm careful with my ankle, I'll ice it a couple of times if it aches.

when your calf muscles become tight they do not support the ankle effectively thus leading to ankle problems
make sure to stretch your calf muscles regularly if new to continuous exercise as you will be able to avoid future problems
the first year of regular exercise (continuous weight-bearing) is always the hardest however with caution and heeding to advice it should be a pleasant journey
Cheers

ps.. a drop in 4 beats for the am is a good sign

Ok, I'll keep reminding myself to stay easy...
Will let you know how I feel after the run tomorrow.
Question -
I'm contemplating whether to get a polar watch with footpod.
I once borrowed my friend's polar and found it helpful in terms of monitoring my running speed. Besides, using it for running speed, distance, I'm not sure how else to maximise the use of it.

Let's talk about the heart rate monitor after the race .. keep the next week simple
and then afterwards we can bring in new data discussion
is that ok with you?

Sure.
My pulse rate is high today - 68. Wonder why?
I had an interrupted run today, was raining heavily and I stopped after running for about 23mins. I resumed and completed the 1hr run, but with an interval of 10-15mins...

these things happen .. like a cat jumping on one when they asleep
take the average over the next few days
was this a morning pulse range?
remember to hydrate well now and eat well today
things will be fine
treat it as fun and exciting times ahead

Today's pulse rate wasn't taken right after I woke up. I had kind of forgotten to take the pulse rate. Only remembered while making my way to the track for the run. Yes, it was taken in the morning.
Ok, I'll remember to hydrate well.
Rest and no runnng for tomorrow?
