I spent too long yesterday messing with Android downloads and training schedules. I settled on a schedule from Runners World and the Runkeeper app.
I'm being good so 5 min warm up including stretches from handy sheet at Race for Life and then out onto the streets which were mercifully empty.
It went well, considering it is the 1st 'beginner' schedule, I did find it pretty tough but I arrived home knowing my lungs had had a good workout but far from staggering. Runkeeper has labelled me 'Healthy', I'm not sure on what basis.
Annoyingly, the Runkeeper website seems to only work in miles even though the mobile app does kilometres so my online records don't match my plans in km.
My phone tells me that in 30min (which include 5+5 warm up and cool down so 20min actual run/walk) I completed 3.18km and say 10:08 min/km but I think that is over the 30 min rather than the 20min. I need to play with this app a bit to nail the stat's.
Yep - confirmed: If your warm up/cool down periods are entered in Coaching then they are included in the final calculation of overall pace so I probably need to leave them out of the Coaching activity in future which is a shame because the voice prompts are useful even with those. It also continues to add time until you STOP the activity so it was actually worked out on 32:14. I've knocked up a spreadsheet to extract the data as I want from that supplied on the website.

Since posting this I've found the Preferences on Runkeeper and the online stat's are now in Km.
