Tried out a new running route today

Went to run with a colleague EJ from new company. Took ECP and exit at Fort Rd and turn towards East Coast Park Service Road. Free parking at carpark B1 (there is a Toilet close-by). Ran east from carpark to the seafood center and u-turned back.

This is EJ's regular route. I like it because it is right beside the open sea and lots of fresh air. Pacing beside him. We run on the walkway and on the sand too. Running on the sand need more effort but very soft on the legs which is good.

Completed 8.2km in 49:15 minutes i.e. an average of 10.0km/hr. Heart rate was mostly in Zone 2 and Zone 3 which are very comfortable zones. Speed up on the last 1km (between 13.8 and 11.0 km/hr) and heart rate pushed to Zone 4.

Enjoyed the run today... nice route, beside the sea and good runner partner. Definitely will run on this route on a regular basis going forward as it is close to my new office.
