Race day! Very beautiful weather, nice company, lots of cheering and some music along the route, so this was a success! Very satisfied with the result (1:17:51 official time).

Fysiodé zet zich in voor inclusieve deelname aan de IJsselloop - Salland1

Leestijd: 2 minutenTijdens de komende IJsselloop lopen verschillende kinderen op de frame runner met een beperking opnieuw verplicht mee in de G‑loop. Hoewel deze loop met de beste bedoelingen is georganiseerd, geven de kinderen zelf aan dat zij veel liever samen met hun vriendjes deelnemen aan de reguliere Kidsrun. Want meedoen doen ze het liefst mét elkaar, […]

Salland1

Yes! A new personal best at 10k. I started way back (section H) so I had to overtake a lot of people. It was warm and windy but luckily I could keep up a pace of around 5' /km. And the final 2 k it's all or nothing 😅. Lots of people along the course, shouting encouraging stuff. With my name on the bib it's easy 'come on Johan!...you can do it !...nearly there!...
And afterwards celebrating with colleagues 🍻.

Final run before the #ijsselloop . Just sniffed a little bit at race speed, otherwise easy run. My trainer thinks I should be able to run 10k in 50 minutes, so that's the goal for this weekend.

Final serious training before the #ijsselloop next Sunday. Today was tailored to various runners that are doing a race in the upcoming weekend (Deventer, Enschede, Paris, Rotterdam). So it was 2 pyramids (300-400-600-600-400-300) at medium tempo.

Easy trailrun in again beautiful weather. #ijsselloop is in one week so taper has begun 😁.
I found my old chest strap hart rate monitor and tried out today. I got some pretty strange readings, from running through the grass at 6:15 pace with a heart rate dropping below 100 to running at ease with a heart rate of 192 (both of wich are impressive at my age 😂). Maybe it's time for a new one.

First it was threshold training every week and now it's VO2max 🥵. No rest for the poor....
9 times 2 minutes at 4:20 /km.
But I was home before dark 😁.
Less than 2 weeks till #ijsselloop

Yesterday's easy run took me along 3 canals.
I'm really getting spoiled by the great weather. All sunny and nice fresh temperature for the past weeks.
Two weeks to go till the #ijsselloop

Another threshold run. Curious when Garmin will decide that I've done enough hard work and taper can begin 😅

Another threshold run: 16' at 4:45 /km. That's 1 minute longer than last week and 5 seconds /km faster. Now for some fresh orange juice and some nuts.
