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

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

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

That’s the weekend’s running done! Today was intervals day and a session of 16x30 second repeats at mile pace after a 40 minute easy pace warm up. Dug my old Alphaflys for this one as there’s still a bit of life in them for speed work #running #intervals #10ktraining #polarrunning #runchat #runnersofmastodon #RunningCommunity

Intervals day today as part of 10k training. Started with and extended 40 minute warm up then some dynamic stretching followed by the main event, 16x30 seconds with 30 seconds recovery. Hard going as not done it in a long while #running #intervals #10ktraining #polarrunning #runnersofmastodon #ukrunchat #RunningCommunity

I’m still frequenting the gym these days as I’m finding it easier to control fitness and recovery this way. Anyway threshold running today, 10 minutes warm up then 30 minutes threshold, I tried to guess what pace to run off a previous 5k I did recently, which worked out at 5:24 min/km average hr 181 bpm. Well pleased with that and good benchmark to work from. Happy running guys 😊🤘👊👍🏃🏼#running #treadmillrunning #thresholdrunning #adidasrunning #polarrunning #runnersofmastodon #oldguysrule

Aerobic threshold zone treadmill running this afternoon. 10 minutes zone 1 warm up, 30 minutes zone 2 bordering zone 3 and 10 minutes zone 1 cool down. #running #aerobicthresholdtraining #easyrunning #treadmillrunning #polarrunning #zone2running #runnersofmastodon #runnersofmastodon #oldguysrule

Too wet to go running outside so off to the gym for some treadmill miles. 45 minutes total split into 10 minutes warm up, 30 minutes easy pace and 5 minutes cool down, didn’t bother too much about heart rate just let it do its own thing as the main objective was to see how my leg was coping and happy with the progress #running #treadmillrunning #easyrunning #polarrunning #adidasrunning #runnersofmastodon #therunningcommunity #oldguysrule

Took a walk to the local gym, which is only 10 minutes away for some treadmill running and strength training. 30 minute run with 15 minutes at tempo keeping hr below 170 bpm as much as possible then some work on my quads and calfs followed by some squats, glute bridges and russian twists #running #temporunning #treadmillrunning #gymfitness #strengthtraining #polarrunning #therunningcommunity #oldguysrule

First run as an oldie 👊 60 today so started the celebrations with a 10k including a 25 minute threshold session sandwiched in the middle. Made sure I kept to the script and within the zones allocated for today’s run so pace that bit slower than it would have been if a little bit cooler #running #10krun #thresholdrun #birthdayrun #polarrunning #runnersofmastodon #RunningCommunity #oldguysrule

Went out for my usual hour around lunchtime. A slight change to the plan today, instead of easing back for the last 10 minutes, decided to run that at half marathon pace. #running #easyrunning #60minuterun #10krun #polarrunning #runnersofmastodon #RunningCommunity #oldguysrule

Easy pace zone 2 10k to round off week 4 of #chesterhalfmarathon Was nice to go sub 60 minutes (only just 😉) for the distance but keeping it in the correct zone was more important, also happy with the splits being consistent although two were a bit quicker because of going downhill #running #halfmarathontraining #heartratezonetraining #zone2training #10krun #60minuterun #adidasrunning #polarrunning #runnersofmastodon #mastorunners #RunningCommunity #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

A busy Saturday meant a late venture round the block. Easy paced 30 min/5k run to start tapering for #manchesterhalfmarathon #running #5krun #easyrun #tapering #taperingrun #halfmarathontraining #polarrunning #loverunning #runningmotivation #runningfitness #runningcommunity #runnersofmastodon #mastorunners #oldguysrule

A rainy afternoon running 5 x 5 minute intervals at 5k pace. 20 minutes warm up, intervals and finish off with 20 minutes cool down #running #intervals #speedrun #runningintherain #adidasrunning #polarrunning #manchesterhalfmarathon #halfmarathontraining #loverunning #runningmotivation #runningfitness #runningcommunity #runnersofmastodon #mastorunners #oldguysrule

Starting the last 3 weeks of #manchesterhalfmarathon training with an easy 30 minute 5k #running #5krun #halfmarathontraining #polarrunning #loverunning #runningmotivation #runningfitness #runningcommunity #runnersofmastodon #mastorunners #oldguysrule

Today was race day. I participated in what probably was the first free mass participated closed road running event as part of 6000+ runners taking part in Warrington Running Festival. I also ran my 10k race as part of the Virtual Berlin 10k too #running #10krace #virtual10krace #polarrunning #adidasrunning #AdidasBerlin10k #loverunning #runningmotivation #runningfitness #runningcommunity #runnersofmastodon #mastorunners #oldguysrule

Taper week for a 10k race on Sunday in a local town, also running it as part of Adidas Virtual Berlin Marathon Challenge. So an easy 5 mile easy run today #running #easyrun #taperrun #adidasrunning #polarrunning #5milerun #loverunning #runningmotivation #runningfitness #runningcommunity #runnersofmastodon #mastorunners #oldguysrule

Managed a good 30 minutes in the company of Slayer 🤘🤘 as part of Manchester half marathon training. #running #5krun #halfmarathontraining #adidasrunning #polarrunning #slayer #loverunning #runningmotivation #runningfitness #runnersofmastodon #mastorunners #oldguysrule

Speed repeats was the order of the day. 20 minutes warm up, dynamic stretches and strides then 15 x 1 minute intervals with 1 minute walk recoveries and finishing off with 20 minutes cool down #running #speedrunning #intervals #halfmarathontraining #polarrunning #adidasrunning

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

Super tough 10 x 3 minute interval session 🥵🥵 tried to keep in the shade as much as possible and to use the recoveries to take in fluid. Some tough climbs in places but still managed to average 10k race pace for the intervals #running #intervals #intervaltraining #halfmarathontraining #polarrunning #loverunning #runningmotivation #runningfitness #RunnersOfMastodon #mastorunners #youdonthavetoberippedtobearunner #oldguysrule #dreadlocks #dreadlockrunner

Manchester half marathon training continues. Wk 10 day 1 : 30 minutes easy running. I might have gone a little quicker than originally intended but was feeling good this morning 👊 probably would have gone even faster if I hadn’t have reined myself back to keep it aerobic #running #5krun #halfmarathontraining #manchesterhalfmarathon #aerobicrunning #polarrunning #loverunning #RunningMotivation #mastorunners #RunnersOfMastodon #oldguysrule

A rare parkrun outing and first time running Pennington Flash with a respectable 26:26 for a course with two massive hills to contend with three times #running #parkrun #polarrunning #runningmotivation #loverunning #mastorunners #RunnersOfMastodon #oldguysrule

A short half hour easy run earlier today in prep for tomorrow’s 80 minute anaerobic threshold run #run #running #slowrun #easyrun #polarrunning #halfmarathontraining #RunnersOfMastodon #runnerslife
