Another day another hot one so a slow jog round trying my best to keep in zone 2 which was quite a feat at 27°C but job done and another one ticked off #running #aerobicrunning #polarrunning #runnersofmastodon

2 x 15 minute intervals at lunchtime, not the best plan especially when the temp is 26°C but that’s the only time spare to go. 15 minutes warm up then on with the action. Main aim was to keep in hr zone 3 which tbh was a struggle so trying to keep to a pace was out of the question #running #tempointervals #polarrunning #runnersofmastodon

Two runs for the price of one today. Had to split my long run into two as my chest strap played up again. 5km zone 2 and 6.5km zone 3. Plenty stops, walk breaks and fluids taken due to the hot weather so today was more about running with hr and rpe than pace #running #polarrunning #runnersofmastodon

Tuesday intervals and 3x10 minutes in tempo zone with 3 minutes jog recovery. 15 minutes warm up then a short rest then into the workout, had to adjust pace to keep hr in zone 3 as there were a few ups and downs on the route chosen but on the whole a good day’s workout #running #tempointervals #halfmarathontraining #polarrunning #runnersofmastodon

Half marathon training block continues for Stockholm, feeling a lot better today and an hour easy run this dinner time. Made a conscious effort to keep in zone 2 as much as possible so wasn’t bothered about pace. #running #halfmarathontraining #polarrunning #runnersofmastodon

Today’s run was not the best I’ve ran tbh, struggled to keep in zone 2 without resorting to a lot of stops and walking. Glad its over and can start again in a day or two #running #slowrun #10krun #polarrunning #runnersofmastodon

Met up last night for our monthly social run organised by our local craft beer pub. Another well organised 5k with the bonus of a beer afterwards #running #socialrun #5krun #polarrunning #beeroclock #runnersofmastodon

Intervals day again and some tempo repeats, 3x8 minutes with 3 minutes rest. Pace ok but hr into threshold towards the end of the reps although where I run for these type of runs is in a dip and rises towards the end so have to compensate with allowing hr to rise or pace to drop #running #Intervaltraining #polarrunning #runnersofmastodon

Hell of a busy day today, an important video call this morning and an appointment later on so this run was a much needed one. One huge bonus though I got my confirmation email that my application to run Tokyo Legacy Half has been accepted #running #easyrunning #cathartic #polarrunning #runnersofmastodon

And first run with new watch, a supposedly zone 2 run but just about managed to average aerobic threshold for the run but mhr about 7-8 beats up #running #longrun #polarrunning #runnersofmastodon

Thought I’d have a go at the “Norwegian Method” today, 4x4 minutes with 3 minutes jog recovery. Happy with the effort put in and averaging 4:41 min/km will be a good benchmark to start with #running #4x4minutes #intervaltraining #polarrunning #norwegianmethod #runnersofmastodon #RunningCommunity

Got some recommendations from last weekend’s threshold tests. As LT1 is on the lower side it was suggested I concentrate on base building again so running with a hr of 139 bpm or less. Exercise today was to run until heart rate exceeded LT1 #treadmillrunning #running #aerobicbasebuilding #polarrunning #runnersofmastodon

Sunday long run day done ✅ had planned on being out for 2 hours split into easy, tempo and fast finish but tbh even with stops for fuel & hydration I’d had enough so called it a day and thought no point carrying on just to put unnecessary strain on the body as there’s always another day #running #longrun #sundaylongrun #polarrunning #runnersofmastodon #runningcommunity

Wasn’t expecting to go out for a run today but luck was on my side so shoes laced up and out for an easy pace jog round #running #easyrunning #polarrunning #runnersofmastodon #runningcommunity

Had to consolidate both weekend runs into one as we’ve got a family get together tomorrow. 14km with 5km at a more faster pace. Not as fast as I’d like, the aim was to keep in zone 3 as much as possible but today’s warmer temperatures meant it did creep up a little #running #longrun #polarrunning #runnersofmastodon #RunningCommunity

Happy chocolate egg day 👊 zone 2 metric half ran today. Felt strong all the way round although did stop to take in fuel a couple of times but happy with pace and heart rate stayed pretty much constant throughout #running #longrun #eastersundaylongrun #heartratetraining #polarrunning #runnersofmastodon

6x6 minute intervals was the plan for today. Was hoping to push a little harder but it’s been a while since I’ve ran an intense rep time wise for a few months. Aim was 5 min/km actual was 5:11 min/km so hope to improve on the next one #running #intervaltraining #10ktraining #polarrunning #runnersofmastodon #runningcommunity

It was one of those days were I didn’t feel like dressing for running in the rain even though it wasn’t heavy so decided on a treadmill run. 40 minutes at mostly zones 1 and 2 with a slight drift into 3 towards the end #running #treadmillrunning #polarrunning #runnersofmastodon #RunningCommunity

20 minutes shakeout run to finish this training block for my 10k race. Kept pace and heart rate nice and low, 6:50 min/km, 140 bpm average #running #10ktraining #shakeoutrun #polarrunning #runnersofmastodon #RunningCommunity

Just one more week until Tatton Park 10k and a 60 minute progression run in the bag. 25 minutes easy, 25 minutes tempo and 5 minutes race pace. Wanted to keep pace as steady in the sections as possible so allowed hr to rise on the inclines #running #progressionrun #onehourrun #tattonpark10k #polarrunning #runnersofmastodon

Intervals day today, 20 minutes warm up, 10x2 minutes at 5:20-5:30 min/km, my present threshold pace but managed to average 5:15 min/km and heart rate still in zone 4 so fitness definitely improving finishing with 10 minutes cool down # running #intervalrunning #thresholdrun #polarrunning #runnersofmastodon #RunningCommunity

Tempo intervals was on the plan for today’s run for a 10k race in two weeks time. 30 minutes warm up, 4.43km at 6:43 min/km, 6x5 minutes at 5:36 min/km average and 10 minutes cool down, 1.34 km at 7:28 min/km. max hr 176 bpm average 156 bpm #running #temporunning #tempointervals #polarrunning #runnersofmastodon

60 minutes easy pace running today. One of those runs were you feel like you could have gone longer #running #easyrunning #polarrunning #runnersofmastodon #RunningCommunity

Tempo intervals today. Socks chosen today; the wolf to represent endurance and the cheetah to represent top end speed #running #temporunning #intervals #tempointervals #polarrunning #runnersofmastodon #RunningCommunity

A nice and easy out and back 40 minutes to start the running week #running #easyrunning #polarrunning #runchat #runnersofmastodon #RunningCommunity

What a difference a day makes. Probably one of my best days out running, everything went almost to plan. 40 minutes easy pace plus 14x25 second hill repeats #running #hillrepeats #10ktraining #polarrunning #runchat #runnersofmastodon #RunningCommunity
