#medalmonday Its not often I have chance to participate in this but why not after the weekend’s #tattonpark10k with #runthroughuk #running #10krace #racephotos #ukrunchat #therunningcommunity #runnersofmastodon

Not really up to it today as a few errands to run and only got out the door later on so a little incentive was needed as it was tempo day with 8x2 minute repeats which went to plan so that was a bonus #running #temporunning #polarrunning #10ktraining #runnersofmastodon #therunningcommunity

Another day another treadmill run, maybe I can get outdoors later in the week 🤔 Anyway tempo/threshold session today, 25 minutes after 15 at warm up pace. Ended up 2 or 3 beats lower than threshold so could possibly have ran a little quicker #running #temporunning #thresholdrunning #adidasrunning #treadmillrunning #therunningcommunity #runnersofmastodon #oldguysrule

Finishing 2024 with a hard worked 30 minutes. Definitely a struggle today, heart rate up to over 90% of MHR and lungs fighting to take in oxygen. So with my level of fitness lately a sub 30 5k is pretty damn good. Hope to return to previous years fitness as soon as possible #running #5krun #adidasrunning #therunningcommunity #runnersofmastodon #oldguysrule

Today’s run was a good 55 minute zone 2 loop with a few walk breaks up some inclines to keep things in the right zone. #running #zone2running #adidasrunning #runnersofmastodon #therunningcommunity #oldguysrule

5k fast ish pace in a 5 mile sandwich. Not the speediest I’ve ran but to push well under 30 minutes for the fast bit is a huge bonus at the moment #running #5krun #5milerun #thresholdrun #adidasrunning #therunningcommunity #runnersofmastodon #oldguysrule

a failed … well sort of … tempo run. 10 minutes warm up then was supposed to do around 70 minutes in zone 3 but had to call it a day about 6 miles in 😔 my hamstring starting causing problems again and affecting tendons around the knee making running painful and difficult. It would have been a little more favourable if I wasn’t so far home and had to walk a good 2 miles. #running #temporunning #failedrun #adidasrunning #runnersofmastodon #therunningcommunity

Today’s long run was a much better effort than last week. Slightly different route ran in the opposite direction and wearing different shoes, my Nike Invincibles which are a bit lighter. Same time ran but an extra km done #running #longrun #easyrunning #zone2running #adidasrunning #runnersofmastodon #therunningcommunity #oldguyrule

Been a while since I’ve done a fartlek and boy was it hard going, enjoyable but tough. Mile warm up, 13x200m fast 13x200m walk/jog recovery finishing with a mile cool down #running #fartlek #fartlekrun #speedrun #polarrunning #runnersofmastodon #therunningcommunity #oldguyrule

They say every run has a purpose but tbh I was struggling to find one. Today was a struggle from start to finish, wrong shoe choice, deliberately wore my Adistars as they are on the heavy side and wanted to run a slower pace but they ended up being too cumbersome. The route chosen seemed more hillier than usual so ended up walking more than usual to keep heart rate down. #running #longrun #zone2training #slowrunning #aerobicbasebuilding #adidasrunning #runnersofmastodon #therunningcommunity

It’s good to be out running on the roads again. A much needed hour’s aerobic base training was perfect for today’s choice of workout especially with this new “hectic” lifestyle I seem to have now 😉😁#running #easyrunning #zone2running #aerobicbasebuilding #polarrunning #slowrunning #runnersofmastodon #therunningcommunity #oldguysrule

Finally managed to get a bit of running in after a week off. Did a bit a leg strengthening too 💪💪🏃🏼🏃🏼#running #easyrunning #adidasrunning #strengthtraining #treadmillrunning #runnersofmastodon #therunningcommunity #oldguysrule

Warrington 10k this morning 🔥🔥
A much better result than expected 👊👊 was hoping for a sub 60 minutes but to go sub 55 with the lack of training for the past 2 months, I’m well pleased with 54:23 #running #10krunning #10krun #10krace #adidasrunning #newbalancefuelcell #runnersofmastodon #therunningcommunity #oldguysrule

Warrington 10k is looming on the horizon so thought I’d better see what shape I’m in for the race. Had to take a few breathers en route due to the hilly terrain and with the hot weather and me being stupid and forgetting to take some fluids before I left meant heart rate higher than expected but overall a good workout running #temporunning #thresholdrunning #10krunning #polarrunning #polarflow #fitspark #runnersofmastodon #therunningcommunity #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

Saturday slow run done 👍 45 minutes and 4 miles in the bank #running #slowrunning #easyrunning #adidasrunning #runnersofmastodon #therunningcommunity #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

A packed Saturday meant I had just enough time for a 5k this morning. Wanted to run it with feel instead HR so I could gauge how my hamstring was coping and to see if the strength work I’ve been doing at the gym is paying off and so far so good #running #easyrunning #5krun #adidasrunning #runnersofmastodon #therunningcommunity #oldguysrule

It’s always a pleasure to run my hometown and today was no exception. Wanted to keep in hr zone 2 for this 10k run but did allow to push towards aerobic threshold. Pace down than a couple of months ago so something to focus on in the future #sundayrun #10krun #easyrunning #adidasrunning #therunningcommunity #runnersofmastodon #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

Another slow and easy run done, trying to get some resemblance of fitness back but still struggling with knee and hamstring issues so keeping pace really slow #running #easyrunning #slowrunning #recoveryrunning #adidasrunning #therunningcommunity #runnersofmastodon #oldguysrule

First tentative steps out the door for 10 days and a 5k recovery run to hopefully kickstart my running adventures. What I actually thought was a knee issue turned out to be hamstring with the pain being localised in the knee area and a visit to a local sports physio for treatment helped tremendously #running #recoveryrunning #5krunning #adidasrunning #therunningcommunity #runnersofmastodon #oldguysrule

Out early for a Goal Pace run as part of my training for the #GreatSouthRun in October, and a great start to the day 💪🏃‍♂️👍😊

Tempo running today and checking on how my knee is coping with a slightly faster pace which as expected was slower than it’s been for a while and heart rate pushing towards threshold zone. Pain still there but now more bearable but any longer run at a higher pace might be too much at the moment #running #temporunning #polarrunning #10krunning #therunningcommunity #runnersofmastodon #oldguysrule

Zone 1/2 10k run today, didn’t want to push the pace as I’ve seemed to have developed runner’s knee which has been hindering any progress lately so just going out for a few tentative runs every now and then #running #easyrunning #10krun #10krunning #adidasrunning #therunningcommunity #runnersofmastodon #oldguysrule

Starting this running week off with an easy pace 7km or so. Average pace a little better than expected and heart rate only up due to a couple of hilly sections but not too excessive #running #easyrun #easyrunning #adidasrunning #runnersofmastodon #therunningcommunity #oldguysrule

…. and that’s the Sunday long run done… 75 minutes easy pace and 15 minutes fast finish followed by a 5 minute cool down walk #running #longrun #longrunfastfinish #sundaylongrun #polarrunning #runnersofmastodon #therunningcommunity #oldguysrule

Tempo running this evening, 1500m warm up, 5k at tempo and 1500m cool down. The plan was to try and keep heart rate bordering hr zones 3 and 4 for the workout but allowing a little extra for any hills I had to negotiate so pleased with the results: 5km in 25:52 min, average pace 5:11 min/km, average hr 169bpm #running #temporun #5ktempo #polarrunning #runnersofmastodon #therunningcommunity #oldguysrule #dreadlockrunner

Tonight’s easy recovery run was more of a struggle than it was on the same route as last week, pace about 20 seconds slower per km and heart rate up about 5 beats on average. Bet the hour+ leg strength exercises last night and out walking most of the day probably didn’t help 😬🤷 #running #recoveryrun #easyrun #polarrunning #runnersofmastodon #therunningcommunity #oldguysrule

90 minutes and 15km in the company of the awesome Evergrey and their amazing new album, Theories of Emptiness #running #longrun #sundaylongrun #longrunsunday #polarrunning #evergrey #theoriesofemptiness #progmetal #gothenburgmetal #runnersofmastodon #therunningcommunity #oldguysrule

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

It was one of those days when you don’t really feel like going out for a run but if you don’t you feel even worse. 50 minutes done with 35 at threshold, was hoping to keep round about 10k pace and keep heart rate within the limit I’d set but had to back off a little. #running #thresholdrun #polarrunning #10ktraining #runnersofmastodon #therunningcommunity #oldguysrule

Hi all, hope all is well in the running community, a very rewarding speed repeat session this evening with 10x400m at mile pace and 200m walking recovery, an excellent way to celebrate #globalrunningday #running #speedrepeats #intervaltraining #polarrunning #10ktraining #runnersofmastodon #therunningcommunity #oldguysrule

45 minutes easy pace running to start the week off, managed to keep heart rate below the 150bpm which hasn’t happened for quite some time especially at the pace I was running #running #easyrun #recoveryrun #adidasrunning #runnersofmastodon #therunningcommunity #oldguysrule
