Wow! I managed 5.5 miles tonight. I guess that's all the proof I need that the Suunto T6 is an incredible running aid! Well, ok, perhaps there were other factors at work here. I managed to plonk myself directly in front of the big fan agin tonight and stayed nice and cool. I did start with a 1km run to quickly calibrate the t6 and started up again with perhaps as much as 10 seconds break to run a further 3 minutes. Then as I forgot to add more time to the machine I quickly reset for a 40 minute run. When I reached 35 minutes I felt so good I thought I may as well run for another 10 minutes. I ran for a total of 46 + the 9 minutes at the start making tonights run 5.5 miles. And I'm counting that as an all time personal best!

As you may have gathered I took delivery of my Suunto T6 today so I've had a little play with that. After calibration it agreed pretty well with what the treadmill thought distance wise so hopefully I'll be able to take a run outdoors on Friday or Saturday. The analysis program that comes with it seems to say that I didn't overdo it today so I'm pretty happy with the training program so far. Let's see what it thinks when I attempt 7 miles on Saturday...
