A slow Sunday 40 minutes to test out some new long/recovery run shoes out #running #sundayrun #slowrunning #polarrunning #nikevomero18 #runnersofmastodon #runningcommunity

Thought I’d have a go at the “Norwegian Method” today, 4x4 minutes with 3 minutes jog recovery. Happy with the effort put in and averaging 4:41 min/km will be a good benchmark to start with #running #4x4minutes #intervaltraining #polarrunning #norwegianmethod #runnersofmastodon #RunningCommunity

Got some recommendations from last weekend’s threshold tests. As LT1 is on the lower side it was suggested I concentrate on base building again so running with a hr of 139 bpm or less. Exercise today was to run until heart rate exceeded LT1 #treadmillrunning #running #aerobicbasebuilding #polarrunning #runnersofmastodon

Sunday long run day done ✅ had planned on being out for 2 hours split into easy, tempo and fast finish but tbh even with stops for fuel & hydration I’d had enough so called it a day and thought no point carrying on just to put unnecessary strain on the body as there’s always another day #running #longrun #sundaylongrun #polarrunning #runnersofmastodon #runningcommunity

Wasn’t expecting to go out for a run today but luck was on my side so shoes laced up and out for an easy pace jog round #running #easyrunning #polarrunning #runnersofmastodon #runningcommunity

Had to consolidate both weekend runs into one as we’ve got a family get together tomorrow. 14km with 5km at a more faster pace. Not as fast as I’d like, the aim was to keep in zone 3 as much as possible but today’s warmer temperatures meant it did creep up a little #running #longrun #polarrunning #runnersofmastodon #RunningCommunity

Happy chocolate egg day 👊 zone 2 metric half ran today. Felt strong all the way round although did stop to take in fuel a couple of times but happy with pace and heart rate stayed pretty much constant throughout #running #longrun #eastersundaylongrun #heartratetraining #polarrunning #runnersofmastodon

6x6 minute intervals was the plan for today. Was hoping to push a little harder but it’s been a while since I’ve ran an intense rep time wise for a few months. Aim was 5 min/km actual was 5:11 min/km so hope to improve on the next one #running #intervaltraining #10ktraining #polarrunning #runnersofmastodon #runningcommunity

It was one of those days were I didn’t feel like dressing for running in the rain even though it wasn’t heavy so decided on a treadmill run. 40 minutes at mostly zones 1 and 2 with a slight drift into 3 towards the end #running #treadmillrunning #polarrunning #runnersofmastodon #RunningCommunity

20 minutes shakeout run to finish this training block for my 10k race. Kept pace and heart rate nice and low, 6:50 min/km, 140 bpm average #running #10ktraining #shakeoutrun #polarrunning #runnersofmastodon #RunningCommunity
