I went age category record hunting whilst on #parkrunTourism today. Their existing record was 23:10, but I managed to take that down to 21:21. I'm sure it was a very picturesque course if I'd been looking up rather than down to avoid various rabbit holes and just uneven ground. Wasn't sure I had it in me today, pleased to find that I did. 6th overall to boot #parkrun #running #RunnersOfMastodon
This confusing workout again for #FartlekFriday WU, 3 x (2:00 @ LT1 (60s), 2:00 @ LT2 (90s), 1:00 @ LT2 (90s)), 3 x (1:00 @ LT2 (45s), 1:00 @ LT2 (90s), 1:00 @ VO2 max (90s)), CD. I'm in the depths of Suffolk on country roads so sacrificed a little bit of elevation for as straight and as wide a road as I could find, then dressed for visibility. Within the pace bands or faster, just under ten miles total. #running #RunnersOfMastodon
A sad read covering his addictions, narcissism, and the blame he for years put on his parents (particularly his mother). Especially so given how he died and that the book ends with him claiming to have put all of that behind him. That's me out of the latest haul of charity shop books, so I'll be on the e-reader until I can restock. #CharityShopBook #Bookstodon
Back to the charity shop single duvets. This one had one side of pineapples on a white background, the other side was 1980s pink white and black bands with stripes of pineapples, ferns & flamingos. The pattern is Kalle shirt from Closet Core. #MeMadeMay #sewing #sewist #Mayke
Then the Bedrock Tee in tank option from Sew Liberated #sewing #sewist #MeMadeMay #Mayke
Some recent #sewing projects for #MeMadeMay #Mayke starting with the Tiany pattern from Fibre Mood #sewist
Another #TrackTuesday session of gobbledegook on the railway path: WU, 2 x 30s @ LT1 (30s), 2.5km @ LT1, 2.5km @ LT2, 5 mins rec, 8 x 30s @ LT2 (60s), 5 mins rec, 8 x 30s @ LT2 (60s), CD. Essentially 2 reps of 30s at around half-marathon pace into 2.5km at that pace, straight into 2.5km at around 10k pace, some rest then 2 reps of 8 times 30s at around 10k pace off 60s with 5 minutes between reps. All the 30s efforts too fast due to gps feedback lag. 14 miles total. #runnning #RunnersOfMastodon
Finished this #CharityShopBook a couple of days ago. An interesting combination of music, art and how they have interacted with the landscape (including the changing of the landscape and access to it) over the last 100 years #Bookstodon
The half marathoners and fast 10k group got the cowbell, but the massed 10kers should be arriving soon, so will switch to the tambourine #GreatBristolRun
Got myself a good position. Will inflate and fire up the speaker shortly. #GreatBristolRun
