Tempo zone run today with the idea to stay in zone 3 as much as possible but decided to let it drift a little while climbing some inclines. Pace still not as it was but that’s ok as fitness is slowly coming back #running #temporunning #heartratezonetraining #polarrunning #runnersofmastodon #oldguysrule

Back with the training schedule after a weekend away in Warsaw and an easy pace 14km there and back run #running #chesterhalfmarathon #longrun #easyrun #heartratezonetraining #adidasrunning #polarrunning #halfmarathontraining #runningcommunity #runnersofmastodon #oldguysrule

Easy pace zone 2 10k to round off week 4 of #chesterhalfmarathon Was nice to go sub 60 minutes (only just 😉) for the distance but keeping it in the correct zone was more important, also happy with the splits being consistent although two were a bit quicker because of going downhill #running #halfmarathontraining #heartratezonetraining #zone2training #10krun #60minuterun #adidasrunning #polarrunning #runnersofmastodon #mastorunners #RunningCommunity #oldguysrule

Aerobic base training run today with 45 minutes in hr zone 2 #running #easyrunning #heartratezonetraining #runningcommunity #runnersofmastodon #mastorunners #oldguysrule

Trying out Joe Friel’s method of setting heart rate zones which gives a wider range for zone 1 recovery so I can have a better chance of not needing to walk as much when going uphill. Any way tried it out on a 40 minute run in zone 1 and even though had to walk on some inclines, was happy at the pace and average heart rate #running #recoveryrun #easyrun #heartratezonetraining #adidasrunning #runningcommunity #runnersofmastodon #mastorunners #oldguysrule

Good to be back out there after Sunday’s #greatmanchesterrun Chose a #polarflow #fitspark workout today which meant 10 minutes warm up, 52 minutes hr zone 3 and 5 minutes cool down #running #polarrunning #heartratezonetraining #loverunning #runningmotivation #runningfitness #oldguysrule

Last run before Sundays Great Manchester Run 10k. Easy 2 miles to keep the legs nice and supple and hopefully race ready #running #polarrunning #adidasrunning #greatmanchesterrun #heartratezonetraining #loverunning #runningmotivation #runningfitness #oldguysrule

Aerobic threshold running today keeping hr between 155 and 164 bpm as much as possible for the allotted time in the zone. #running #thresholdrun #polarrunning #adidasrunning #heartratezonetraining #loverunning #runningmotivation #runningfitness #oldguysrule

30 minutes zone 2 running today one of those bread and butter runs, no pressure no pushing just getting out there #running #polarrunning #heartratezonetraining #loverunning #runningmotivation #runningfitness #oldguysrule #thehaloeffect

Aaaand that’s a rap! Easy 6km before tomorrow’s #aintreehalfmarathon which I’m really looking forward to 😊😁🤘Now time to carb up 👍 #running #polarrunning #adidasrunning #halfmarathontraining #heartratezonetraining
