Final test of my race day shoes before #chesterhalfmarathon in 3 weeks time. Today I allotted a 1 hr 50 minute run with the first hour at easy pace followed by 45 minutes a little faster but keeping hr below zone 4 then completing the run with 5 minutes cool down jog. The New Balance FuelCell’s are bedding in nicely now so I’ll put them away ready for race day. #running #longrun #sundaylongrun #halfmarathontraining #polarrunning #runningcommunity #runnersofmastodon #oldguysrule #hornsup

Saturday and the dreaded intervals day 🥵🥹 Polar Flow plan said 3x5 minutes and 2 minutes recovery with 13 minutes warm up and 5 minutes cool down. Been a long time since I ran more than 2 sets so the last one took it out of me and pace slightly dropped for that one. First 2 managed those at 5k race pace, 4:41 min/km and the last at 10k race pace 4:56 min/km #running #halfmarathontraining #chesterhalfmarathon #intervals #polarflow #polarrunning #RunningCommunity #runnersofmastodon #oldguysrule

Spring is in the air and a spring in my step. Intervals day today according to #polarflow half marathon training plan. 16 minutes warm up then 2x5 minutes with 2 minutes rest averaging 4:39 min/km which ain’t too shabby for someone the wrong side of 59 🤘👊 #running #intervals #halfmarathontraining #chesterhalfmarathon #polarrunning #RunningCommunity #runnersofmastodon #mastorunners #oldguysrule

More zone 2 running as part of #chesterhalfmarathon in May. Treadmill day today and 55 minutes done. Started off nice and easy for the first 10 minutes before increasing the pace to move into zone 2 for the next 40 minutes but had to dial back so hr didn’t drift over into zone 3 before the last 5 minutes cool down #runnning #easyrun #treadmillrunning #halfmarathontraining #polarrunning #polarvantagev3 #polarflow #RunningCommunity #runnersofmastodon #mastorunners #oldguysrule
