Easy run Saturday 7km zone 1/2 run with cool down walk to finish off. Kept pace and hr nice and steady today and happy with the averages for the run. Polar running index up to 45 so slowly getting back to normal #running #easyrunning #heartratetraining #adidasrunning #runnersofmastodon #RunningCommunity #oldguysrule

First run over an hour for some time and boy what a struggle it was! 😩😫 Wanted to run the main part in zone 3 and hopefully keep a decent pace but alas not today, breathing heavy, heart rate climbing too much so having to slow to a walk on a few occasions. My aerobic base has definitely dropped over the past 2 months. That’s something to work on over the rest of the year #running #longrun #heartratetraining #adidasrunning #runnersofmastodon #therunningcommunity #oldguysrule

It always good to run on a nice sunny day but maybe the choice of run could have been wrong 🤷 30 minutes tempo with the idea to keep heart rate just below zone 4 which for most of the workout I did manage but it did creep up at times but not too far #running #temporunning #temporun #heartratetraining #adidasrunning #polarrunning #runnersofmastodon #oldguysrule #dreadlockrunner

It was all about recovery today, after yesterday’s harder effort, the focus was on low heart rate running keeping bpm in the 140’s and feeling really refreshed and looking forward to tomorrow’s long run #running #easyrun #recoveryrun #adidasrunning #heartratetraining #runnersofmastodon #therunningcommunity #oldguysrule

Tempo running today! 5 miles/8k with the focus on keeping between 166-168 bpm or just below zone 4 as much as possible #running #temporun #temporunning #8krun #5milerun #heartratetraining #polarrunning #runnersofmastodon #RunningCommunity #oldguysrule

Tempo running today building up intensity from easy pace through to threshold then easing off for the last 5 minutes with a cool down jog. Felt surprisingly good considering I forgot to use my copd inhaler before setting off #running #temporun #5milerun #8krun #halfmarathontraining #chesterhalfmarathon #polarrunning #heartratetraining #RunningCommunity #mastorunners #runnersofmastodon #oldguysrule

Sunday easy run day came round again and 70 minutes in zone 1/2. Felt really comfortable for the majority of the route but slight rises in hr on some of the undulating parts plus an altercation with a swan didn’t help either 😳 #running #longrun #easyrun #heartratetraining #halfmarathontraining #sundayrunday #adidasrunning #shadowman #chesterhalfmarathon #RunningCommunity #mastorunners #runnersofmastodon #oldguysrule

First couple of runs since the weekend, keeping pace and hr nice and slow. Tried some nasal breathing on last nights 5k so pace lower than usual for the hr zone. Today’s easy pace 10k was more back to normal #running #slowrunning #easyrun #heartratetraining #5krun #10krun #nasalbreathing #polarrunning #runningcommunity #runnersofmastodon #mastorunners #oldguysrule

Easy run day 10 minutes warm up, an hour in zone 2 then 5 minutes cool down and just short of 12 aerobic km done #running #easyrun #heartratetraining #adidasrunning #runningcommunity #runnersofmastodon #mastorunners #oldguysrule

A very productive run today. Decided to warm up at a slower pace before moving into the main part of the workout which meant my heart rate wasn’t peaking in the designated zone too early meaning a slightly faster pace and better average hr for the main part. Also I’m well happy with my running index (VO2 max) back in the 50’s for the first time in a while #running #polarrrunning #heartratetraining #runningcommunity #runnersofmastodon #mastorunners #oldguysrule

Weather said it was going to be a cold one today so got myself all layered up for my 10k run today. Tell you what I was sweating by the time I’d finished 🥵💦 #running #10krun #heartratetraining #slowrunning #easyrunning #adidasrunning #runningcommunity #runnersofmastodon #mastorunners #oldguysrule #inflames

It got a bit on the rainy side earlier today so chose to do my running at the gym. 60 minutes in hr zone 2 and a first proper tryout of my new Polar Vantage V3 must admit the voice prompts were really helpful when I encroached into a higher hr zone, much better than it constantly vibrating on my wrist #running #treadmillrunning #heartratetraining #polarvantagev3 #adidasrunning #polarrunning #runningcommunity #runnersofmastodon #mastorunners #oldguysrule

Lovely day for some zone 2 training. Another 50 minutes in the bag and feeling good #running #easyrunning #easyrun #heartratetraining #nikerunning #nikerunclub #polarrunning #runningcommunity #runnersofmastodon #mastorunners #oldguysrule

30 minutes easy #run this morning to start off the week. So much better today with the cooler weather, took it easy for the first mile and then settled in to the run. Even managed to stay in zone 2 albeit for 2+ minutes at the end #running #easyrun #heartratetraining #30minuterun #5krun #polarrunning #loverunning #runningmotivation #runningfitness #runnersofmastodon #mastorunners #oldguysrule
