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

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

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

Half marathon training continues with an easy paced Friday 5 miler. Same route as 10 days ago, similar conditions but slightly quicker and a good 4 bpm lower on average #running #halfmarathontraining #runnersofmastodon #corosrunning

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

What a day to decide to do my long run, totally drenched ☔️🌧️ but well happy. Today’s plan was a progression run, 5 min warm up, 5k hr zone 2 and 8k zone 3. Was unable to pick the pace up so kept it steady throughout the run due to the wind, rain and route chosen. #running #sundaylongrun #corosrunning #halfmarathontraining #runnersofmastodon #neverendingstory #falkor
