Today was threshold day again. Two 15-minute blocks with a 5-minute recovery in between. I also managed to run a 10k personal best. I'd never seriously attempted a fastest 10k time before, but there's clearly room for improvement.

Not completely fit, strained and an unbalanced HRV. I leave it to Garmin Coach about what kind of workouts to do in the coming days. For today he thought a base run of 1h15 was sufficient 😊🏃 ♂️👌
Back into the Threshold Tredmill after a week playing in the French mountains.
Buddy Bas succesfully finished his UTMB 100K Nice Ultra within the cutoff time.
Very happy he could finish his project succesfully.
It was fun to support him. High up in the mountains racing from one aid station to the other in the middle of the night 😃.

And I've changed my program again.
I'm now using a two-week training cycle where I run every other day. A long run on the weekend, and during the week, I do whatever the Garmin Daily Suggested Workout recommends for that day.
The long runs include elevation gain, based on my October goal (Bear Trail, 58km, 1500m).

Garmin's recommendation for today was an easy bike ride:
It was inevitable. If you both use Garmin Coach for your training and you're training for the same goal event (Trail Marathon this Saturday), and you happen to be near each other, you'll both do the Tempo workout prescribed for the same day together 😆.

I decided to run the Houttrail 25km route again this morning. Because some of the paths were quite overgrown, it was sometimes difficult to navigate.
There was an overgrown section with ferns taller than me, which were also wet from the morning dew. As a result, I was completely soaked after just a few hundred meters :-).
Fortunately, the sun quickly came out, and I dried off quickly.

Just before I was leaving for my training run, Garmin detected my bad sleep score from last night and decided to change my Threshold into a Base run 🤔.
Mental training 🙂
Spot the differences!

Finished the #Skyline50k #trailRace in 9:34:51 yesterday! My 3rd best 50k, and first 50k in over two years since the Marin Ultra Challenge 50k in 2023.
It was quite the journey to get back here, and a lot went well in this race. From training to preparing and planning, the temperate cool weather for most of the day, and executing perhaps the best I have in a race.
For now, I am very happy with my performance in this #Skyline race, and want to express my thanks to Scena Performance (@scenaperformance.com @ScenaPerform) for putting on such a welcoming, friendly, and supportive event.
Lots more thoughts and feelings to share.

Since Feb this year HR-rest steadily goes down. Today it was the 4th time this year it bottomed at 39. All these 4 times where in Juli.
Also HRV average is steadily going up.
All signs that the body is responding well to the training program.
You know that you found that Holy training Grail (proudly sponsored by Garmin) when your Training Status is green for more than 4 weeks :dancing_banana:
Nice parkrun this morning where I could release my daemons after a long time 😃 .
Not yet the PR from 2 years back (21min) but starting to get there.

(1/2) I've been using Garmin DSW as a training program for a month now.
What I find advantageous is that my training is precisely aligned with my physical condition.
The program intervenes if my HRrest or HRV threatens to become unbalanced or if I'm not getting/getting enough sleep.
And that's VO2Max workout number two this week. If you still have the romantic idea that Garmin DSW workouts are short and easy than I now have prove of the opposite.
Ok, they maybe relatively short but they aren't easy for sure 😬.

Today I opted for an hour on the indoor bike instead of an hour of running. Garmin allows it. This gave my running legs some recovery time.🏃♂️❌🚴✅
Tomorrow back to running 👌

The thing about Garmin DSW is that if you run a long trailrun race at base speed, you're immediately in a high aerobic deficit, according to Garmin. You'll then be treated to a 30 minute threshold block during your next workout. Next time, I'll just run a bit faster during the race 🙂
Nice read about the differences between Road and Trailrunning.
"you want to move your feet as rapidly as you can tippy tap them while still maintaining good posture""
"The best downhill runners are moving their feet fast enough that any misstep is already corrected for by the next step."
This is something I recognize already from when we where hiking the mountains decades ago.
The Veluwezoom trail run went as planned today. The goal was an average pace of 7min/km. To achieve that, I'd decided to run the first 20km at my base heart rate of 129. If I still had some energy left in the last 10km, I could let go. And that's pretty much how it went. Although the heat and high humidity also caused a slight increase in heart rate.
Final verdict: Mission accomplished! 😊✅

Got out of bed early today to do my final taper workout. The race tomorrow is a B-goal for this year and I am curious how I am doing performance wise. Last weeks I added some more threshold work to my training and increased the base pace slightly. I hope this will result in a bit higher average pace tomorrow.

The Garmin training plan mandated a rest day today. But the weather was too nice not to go outside and play. To avoid using up all my energy for Sunday's Trail Run, I took a seriously easy bike ride this afternoon 😆.

Read this nice and usefull oneliner on Strava today. It matches my experience when I started with running as my main sport few years ago.
According to Garmin's Race Prognosis, a time of 2:47:08 should be possible for the 31km Trailrun race next Sunday. Personally, I'd like to keep it to over an little hour longer :-) 🤣

The HRrest and HRV graphs from last month show the progress made with my Ultra running training plan. HRrest is slowly moving down while HRV is slowly moving up 🏃 ❤️👌

After a long day visiting friends, still a quick workout in the evening.
No longer in the mood to go outside so opted for the Garmin daily suggested indoor cycling cross-training. Today it was a short base ride (45m@hr124).
#Trailrunning #runnersofmastodon #UltraRunner #Running #Garmin #Cycling
A shorter long run today. With the Garmin training plan I run the basic runs at a slightly higher heart rate than with Runmotion or Humango. This higher avg HR also results in a slightly higher average pace which can be seen in the attached statistics on Strava. Next week, taper week with the Veluwezoom Trailrun on Sunday, 32km and fairly flat. A good moment to see where I stand.

I noticed that, for a long time already, Garmin has trouble calculating total time in workouts.
In the added screenshot the total time calculation is 10+3x(7+2)+10=47 minutes.
According to Garmin it is only 45 minutes 😆 .

Yes! Rain has come 🥳.
And just after my run 👌.

Not sure what's the root cause but since a week my HRrest dropped slowly resulting in a HRrest of 39 this morning.
Is it because of taper started this week? Is it because of switch to Garmin DSW training with more high intensity blocks? Or because of both? Who knows. Anyone any clues?
It's done!
Threshold training at 36'C 😆 .
And the Garmin DSW workouts are starting to do its job. Garmin status is back to productive again :dancing_banana:

It's over 35 degrees here and the national heat plan is in effect. I have a 3x7min Threshold training scheduled for this afternoon. That's going to be a nice sweat 😜

Must be doing something good with training. Highest Race time predictions for all distances in a year. :dancing_banana:
Quality time this morning.
Did a parkrun together with my daughter Julia who ran her first parkrun.
Lovely social event!

80km done. With 40km to go and most elevation done it is easier to continue to the finish than to turn back 😜 . Keep going @moelholm !💪
15min warm-up
5x (12min@Z2 HR / 2min@Z3 HR)
15min cooling down

Not to difficult workout with some welcome tempo parts. Still in the build phase of the BearTrail race plan which will take place in October.

May was a "Threshold month" according to intervals.icu. The main cause for that was the Snowdonia race done in the HR Z3 zone for the greater part.
Average pace and power was slow compared to time in the HR zones also due to EG of Snowdonia.

He crossed Australia from Perth to Sydney in 35 days, running approximately 100km per day. WOW.

Last saturday, I did a trailrun of 85 km. It was a heavy one in the south of my country, Belgium. This if for example the climb that I had to do. Before the climb, I was at the white road. There where many of these climbs on this trail. We ended with more than 3000 meters climbing. But hey, its is worth the effort.
The head is empty again now. Much happier now since I am less on social media and more in nature.
And what an adventure Snowdonia Ultra was.
I know it would be a tough race but didn't expect it to be this brutal.
After the 2th climb of mount Snowden all the juice in my legs was gone and I wasn't able to make the cutoff time for aid station #2.
Buddy Bas had to throw the towel a little after aid station #2.
But my wife still found us "medal worthy" so we got one from here 😘😘.

Today was a tourist day for us at Mount Snowden. Going up with the old mountain train was quite an experience.
Friend and partner in crime Bas made a short movie of today's trip.
On Saturday we run!

Only 2 weeks left untill SnowDonia Ultra (55km/3400+) :dancing_banana:
These last 2 weeks are taper weeks and the trainingload decrease has already started.
I am feeling ready and can't wait to get started 😃 .
The body is a bit lazy of all the recent low HR work. Upcoming Sunday a bit faster long run 👌.

A 2h30 easy run today.
According to #Runalyze my marathon readiness is 102%.
So I am ready for the Rotterdam Marathon this weekend.
But it aint gonna happen.
I am saving my legs and energy for #SnowDonia in 5 weeks😆.
