  1. Cue Ace Frehley-Back in the New York Groove! Managed to get yesterday’s scheduled 16km long run in today 👊 5km zone 2 and 11km zone 3 hr with 5 minutes warm and cool down. Total 17.28km. #running #halfmarathontraining #longrun #coros #runchat #runnersofmastodon

  2. Seems a while since I’ve been able to run an intervals workout without feeling out of breath from the off. Today’s session, 6x800m at race pace with 480m floats last two were a struggle but dug deep to get the reps done #running #halfmarathontraining #coros #adidasrunning #runchat #runnersofmastodon

  3. Saturday long run done. Not the best I’ve ran tbh, copd still causing problems and had to slow to a walk on more occasions than would have preferred. Got my first half in 3 weeks time, just hope I’m fit enough to give it a good attempt #running #halfmarathontraining #longrun #coros #runchat #runnersofmastodon

  4. Half marathon training continues with a 4 mile easy run. Still not up to fitness but a slight improvement on last time out and hoping to be as ready as I can be in 25 days for Poseidon Athens Half #running #halfmarathontraining #coros #runchat #runnersofmastodon

  5. Another step forward in my recovery from copd and preparation for upcoming half marathons in Athens and Gothenburg and an easy pace effort with a few strides to end with #running #halfmarathontraining #coros #runchat #runnersofmastodon

  6. Didn’t sleep well last night so was not looking forward to today’s workout on the plan which was race pace repeats, 8x480m at 153-164 bpm and 8x800m at 165-174 bpm. It should have been 10x but I’d had enough after the 8 #running #halfmarathontraining #coros #runchat #runnersofmastodon

  7. Half marathon training, wk 7, day 1: 9.5km in hr zone 2. Bit of a struggle today, copd playing up but managed to get it done #running #halfmarathontraining #adidasrunning #coros #runchat #runnersofmastodon

  8. The first of my weekend runs in this HM training block and an easy paced zone 2 6.5km run with warm up and cool down.Tomorrow is a 14km progression run so time to carb up #running #halfmarathontraining #corosrunning #oldguysrule #runchat #runnersofmastodon

  9. Half Marathon Training. Wk6, Day2: Race pace intervals. Today’s workout consisted of 8x800m in zone 3 with 480m floats in zone 2 For some reason I miscalculated and only ran 6 reps but tbh it was enough #running #halfmarathontraining #racepaceintervals #corosrunning #runchat #runnersofmastodon

  10. Half Marathon Training, Wk6, Day 1: 8km in zone 2 with 5 minutes warm up and cool down. Hr up a bit today, chest a little tight this morning and pushed a bit on the final incline. #running #halfmarathontraining #adidasrunning #runchat #runnersofmastodon

  11. Out with my local’s social run as part of half marathon training and an enjoyable 5km done #running #socialrun #5krun #runchat #runnersofmastodon

  12. Half Marathon Training. Wk 5, Day 2. 2 Mile Warm Up + 5 x 480m easy with 160m Pick Ups. Found a flat route and dug out my Takumi Sen’s for this one. #running #halfmarathontraining #corosrunning #runchat #runnersofmastodon

  13. Half Marathon Training Week 5 Day 1. Decided to start the plan again to incorporate Göteborgsvarvet 4 weeks after Athens. Today, 4 miles in zone 2 with 5 minutes warm up and cool down. #running #halfmarathontraining
    #adidasrunning #runchat #runnersofmastodon

  14. Back at it after a week off still trying to clear a chest infection which was affecting my copd. 6k split into 2 x3k easy pace runs with a break in between. Hope to start training proper the end of the month for my first half of the year in 13 weeks time #running #corosrunning #runchat #runnersofmastodon #RunningCommunity

  15. Last but one of the year and some more lunchtime miles. Was hoping to keep pace a bit more consistent but had to slow a bit to keep in the desired hr zone for the route chosen #running #dailyrun #adidasrunning #runchat #runnersofmastodon #RunningCommunity

  16. After last week’s lactic threshold and vo2 max tests I’ve been recommended to run more in my revised zone 2(150-165 bpm) to build endurance and fatigue resistance to help in any future races. Today 50 minutes done plus an easy 5 minutes recovery to finish off #running #adidasrunning #runchat #RunningCommunity #runnersofmastodon

  17. Went out for my first run since having the lactate threshold test, decided to push a little bit more than usual on my easy runs. The guy testing me set my zones to high end of 1 to LT1 and high end of 3 to LT2 and made the other zones quite compact for better training #running #adidasrunning #runnersofmastodon #runchat #RunningCommunity

  18. Out earlier on for my #sundaylongrun 90 minutes and 12.5km mainly in zone 2, hr just creeping over on some hill sections but all in all a good solid workout #RunningCommunity #longrun #adidasrunning #runchat #runnersofmastodon

  19. Tempo running today, 10 minutes warm up then 20 minutes in zone 3 and finishing off with 5 minutes cool down walk. Was hoping to stay in the right hr zone while keeping at a constant pace but it did creep over a couple beats but overall a good day #running #temporunning #adidasrunning #runnersofmastodon #runningcommunity #runchat

  20. Last speed session before Sunday’s 10k. 15 minutes warm up, 4 x 4 minutes at 5k pace and 3 x 1 minute at mile pace with 90 seconds rest and finishing with 15 minutes cool down jog #running #intervals #10ktraining #corosrunning #runnersofmastodon #RunChat #RunningCommunity

  21. A nice and easy 5k recovery run today, hr nice and low trying to keep around my LT1 Its been a while since I’ve felt refreshed after finishing and knowing I could have carried on for a few more km’s #running #recoveryrunning #5krun #runchat #runnersofmastodon #RunningCommunity

  22. Aerobic Endurance Treadmill Run, 5 minutes warm and cool down at 8kph
    (7:30 min/km), 60 minutes at 8.5 kph (7:04 min/km) Hr 102-154 bpm average 143 bpm
    Music: Amaranthe #running #treadmillrunning #easyrunning #corosrunning #runnersofmastodon #runchat #RunningCommunity

  23. Some easy treadmill minutes this afternoon, kept pace at 9kph (6:40 min/km) after a 5 minute warm up. HR ranged from 131-161 bpm so crept a little into zone 3. Finished the session off with a 5 minute jog cool down #running #treadmillrunning #easyrunning #runchat #RunningCommunity #runnersofmastodon

  24. A there and back 100 minutes along one of my local canal paths, kept pace fairly constant in zone 2, hr did creep up with the hot weather but the run still felt a good 4/5 on the RPE scale #running #longrun #sundayrun #corosrunning #runnersofmastodon #runchat #RunningCommunity

  25. More zone 2 running today, 50 minutes at a little over 4.5 miles done. Heart rate slightly up on a steep bit but mainly around LT1 #running #adidasrunning #runchat #ukrunchat #runnersofmastodon

  26. Easy pace treadmill run today. Pace set to 6:40 min/km
    Stats from Polar Vantage V3
    Time 30 minutes Distance 4.37 km Pace 6:52 min/km HR average 148 bpm. Hard to find a good rhythm today, running form not as good as usual and arm swings erratic #running #treadmillrunning #adidasrunning #runchat #runnersofmastodon #RunningCommunity

  27. 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

  28. Racing Tomorrow – Bure Valley 10 Mile

    Final Grand Prix Race of 2023. Will I end on a high?

    Even though it has only been 5 weeks since the Dereham 5k, it seems like months. I guess this is because all of the other 2023 Sportlink Grand Prix races were much closer together (with 3 days being the shortest gap).

    So here we are. Tomorrow it’s the turn of the Bure Valley Harriers to host their Bure Valley 10 Mile Race, the 14th, and (sadly) final, Sportlink Grand Prix race of the 2023 season. (It looks like there are still a few places available if you fancy it… you can enter at Total Race Timing.)

    Starting and finishing in the North Norfolk village of Banningham, my presumption is that it will be a gently undulating route around the surrounding country roads. If the weather is favourable, I suspect fast times will be the order of the day.

    And speaking of the weather, the current forecast is a sunny 16° C, with a moderate breeze. So fingers crossed conditions will be near perfect.

    Predictions

    Below is a table of predictions from various algorithms / sources. Note that the Athlete Data Analysis Platform and Running Watch do not provide 10 mile race predictions, and so I have had to derive values from their 10 km and half marathon distance predictions.

    AlgorithmPace (min/km)Time (mm:ss)Difference from fastest (%)Riegel (6 min Assessment)4:3774:17– 11.3 %Riegel (3.2 km Assessment)4:2871:53– 8.4 %Athlete Data Analysis Platform4:2170:00– 5.9 %Running Watch4:1468:07– 3.2 %TrainAsONE4:0766:15– 0.5 %Riegel (5 km Race)4:0666:06–Predictions for tomorrow’s 10 mile road race from a selection of sources. Ordered by increasing velocity.

    Given that my last 10 mile race was completed in 66:33 (a personal record), I would have thought that a sub 70 minute time is probable.

    Consequently, as has been the case for the whole season, the assessment predictions are suggesting quite a slow (and unlikely?) time for me. And, as has been common, the Athlete Data Analysis Platform and Running Watch are suggesting times somewhere between my expectation and the assessments.

    Another 10 mile PB? TrainAsONE thinks so.

    At 66:06, the 5 km Riegel prediction is the fastest, with TrainAsONE a close second with a time of 66:15. It is nice to see them concur. It gives faith in their values, and is especially nice as they both predict a personal record time! The game is on!

    Wish me luck!

    (I’ll let you know how it goes.)

  29. My running buddy is back 👍😃 Cold (wet, windy & muddy) enough for the beastie boy to be alongside me for some #MuddyMilesForMegs as part of my Bipolar UK #poletopolechallenge bipolaruk.enthuse.com/pf/andy- The wet fields are also great training for the Oldham 1/2 marathon, the conditions putting less stress on aging joints. justgiving.com/page/andrew-bar

  31. A dozen glorious trail miles to greet the day. Make the most of today and every day, #findjoy, #keepshowingup and express gratitude.

    No regrets.

  32. 8ish miles in the newly fallen snow. A peaceful run, time to process some things, #dreambig about running and #findjoy.

    Have an amazing rest of your weekend friends.

  33. Night Owl trail marathon done. Pretty stoked about this run. Course was around 27 or more due to rerouting. 2500 feet of gain.

    Started out somewhere in the 20s then used patience, joy and relentless forward progress to finish 7th male, 8th overall.

    #runchat #findjoy

  34. 6.5 miles and a few hills for breakfast. Feeling grateful, looking forward to this year’s epic adventures.

    For now it’s time to #keepshowingup, #findjoy and #dreambig.

    #runchat #ultratraining

  35. 8 miles dashing, well actually easy running, through the snow, well actually a light dusting. But you get the idea.

  36. Don't normally do birthday posts, but am making an exception because today I hit the BIG 50!!

    Every day is a joy and I was so happy I could celebrate with a lovely, invigorating run out in the icy cold. My happy place.

    Being treated to a takeaway meal tonight (a rare occurrence) and, of course, as I share a birthday with the great Will Hay ... who would be 124 today ... it will be a Will Hay film tonight.

    But otherwise ... it's work!

  37. Day 5 of #RWRunStreak and still going strong! Physio said I'm ok to start gradually building up, so today stretched out to 1.6 miles fartlek intervals.

    Felt great, still catching up with stamina but that will come (also did a 45 minute spin class this morning so legs are a bit smashed already!) plus, new trainers have arrived and they are awesomesauce! 🥳🥳🥳

  38. Zone 2 10k yesterday gives me just 109 miles to do between now and the end of December. Nothing quite like leaving 1/5 of your target distance for the year to a single month!

    Still an active December will be great for those events in the new year.

    So far next year it's for the third time, race season pass (three weekend trifectas is the aim) and a and / or for fun.

    Anyone else have a stack of events in the calendar?
