#road-running — Public Fediverse posts

I'm abandoning trail running for the next 15 weeks, and placing my soul in the evil yet capable hands of Pete Pfitzinger. I have three more weeks of 50K recovery, then Pfitz's 12/70 5K plan.

My last 5K in November was a 20:42, and I'd love to go sub 20 for the first time since high school. I'm not getting any younger, so it's now or never. 🙏

Today's long-run was supported by the services of NMBS: I took the first train to Diksmuide and ran back home.
Part roadrun, part trailrun, with a beautiful sunrise on top.

Had a good run this morning early in a temperature around 20C. Time is about my usual one. Trying for sub-8.

I came in 34 out of 154 finishing runners. 👌🏼😅🏃🏽

The fastest finisher was in on 1h52m - I was in on 2h27m. For any normal half marathon that wouldn’t be overly impressive. But for this one it was actually really good (for my fitness).

It also shows that comparing finishing times (and paces) across #trailrunning and #roadrunning races is pointless: I ran much slower than the previous races - but I gave much much more effort. Hence super proud 👌🏼😎

For all you beautiful folks that are #following for #running chat … the rehab continues.

If there’s one thing this #injury has reminded me, it’s how important basic #strength work is to a #training program. I hear it over and over again, but it seems like actually DOING it was what it took for it to hit home.

Had my PT check-in today and he’s super pleased with my progress. The work continues.

Chasing that goal of a return to #trailrunning before March. And a return to #roadrunning ASAP.

I am a dinosaur from the age of mainframes made by IBM and the BUNCH - a long time ago.
Now retired after a lifetime in the IT industry (software and management).
Curious about where this #fediverse is going to go. I never tweeted and have a very small specific footprint on FB.
Hobbies include #photography, #AudioVisual, #Africa, #SouthAfrica. Use #QGIS
Activities include #Roadrunning, #Jogging and 4x4Travel in #SouthernAfrica (the last now curtailed by advancing age).
