Sunday long run done. Managed to keep in zone 2 for the whole of the run. Saw a crow with what looked like a crust of bread dipping it into a puddle to soften it, made me chuckle 🤣 also passed an old guy in his 80’s out jogging definite kudos there #running #longrun #sundaylongrun #runnersofmastodon #RunningCommunity e

Preppin’ for Sunday’s long run with some spicy chicken and bacon pasta with a tasty Belgian Trappist beer to complete the meal #carbingup #running #runningprep #beer #belgianbeers

Tempo running today, 10 minutes warm up and cool down, 35 minutes zone 3 was hoping to keep below 170 bpm but up slightly on a hill but average around 165 so all good there. 6.34 km average pace 5:31 min/km which is up a little from last week #running #temporunning #adidasrunning #runnersofmastodon #RunningCommunity

Not saying today was a disaster as every run has a purpose but running 6 minute intervals in this hot weather wasn’t the best idea. Planned on running 6 intervals but just about managed even with a 3 minute walk rest. #running #intervals #adidasrunning #runnersofmastodon #RunningCommunity

6.45km/4 easy miles today to make April’s monthly distance up to 172 km/107 miles, a little less than planned but that’s ok. #running #easyrunning #zone2running #adidasrunning #runnersofmastodon #RunningCommunity

Maybe we shouldn't listen to the guy who started a colonial war to secure Iraqi fossil fuels

Had a relaxing day yesterday, always prefer Monday as my running rest day gets me in the right mood to start the week. Today, 50 minute run with 30 minutes tempo/threshold working in zones 3 & 4 Distance 5.70km Pace 5:16 min/km hr min 157 bpm max 180 bpm #running #temporunning #adidasrunning #runnersofmastodon #RunningCommunity

the real joke is that "apolitical" people who complain about "snowflakes" and their "safe spaces" actually love safe spaces; it's just that their safe spaces are ones where they're free to be openly misogynistic, homophobic, racist, bigoted, and say nazi shit out loud without repercussions

First of all super congratulations to all of you have ran in the London and Manchester marathons ❤️❤️ Just a short 15km for me today 🥹😉 Hope you all have a great weekend what’s left of it #running #longrun #progressionrun #adidasrunning #runnersofmastodon #runningcommunity

Another Saturday another tempo run. Feel my fitness is improving, same route as last weekend, an extra 5 minutes in tempo zone and average pace up so all good #running #temporunning #adidasrunning #runnersofmastodon

Intervals day 🥵 a tough one today but well worth it, even dug my old Alphaflys for this one 😃 15 minutes warm up then 5x6 minutes with 2 minutes walking recovery which helped with keeping pace consistent on the repeats #running #10ktraining #intervals #speedrunning #adidasrunning #runnersofmastodon #RunningCommunity

Imagine this was 1944, and the Allies were slowly but surely starting to defeat the Nazis; but then in the middle of the complex war, a new US president came into power, and he suggested that Europe should now achieve peace by letting Hitler keep France, Belgium, The Netherlands, Denmark, and Poland.

We Europeans would laugh at that president. Just like we are laughing at Trump right now, for suggesting we should let the modern day Hitler keep Crimea, Kherson, Zaporitzjzja, Donetsk and Luhansk.

#running the #hills!

40 minutes zone 2 easy run was the choice for today. You’ve got to mix your running up to give variety so a slower run today building on the aerobic base and tomorrow or the day after, a more faster effort depending on what life throws your way #running #easyrunning #adidasrunning #runnersofmastodon #RunChat #RunningCommunity

Tempo Tuesday working through the heart rate zones from 1-4 today. A tough but controlled effort and pace improving. Almost ran negative splits but had to stop at junction for some cars. Hoping I can keep this progress going for the Great Manchester Run. #running #temporunning #progressionrun

@aaron not wanting to jump in and spoil things but have you set your zones correctly and not used the stock ones from Garmin. Only saying just in case you was actually in zone 2 at 150 bpm as personally that is the lower end of mine

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

45 minutes ran, 10 minutes warm up, 30 minutes tempo and 5 minutes cool down. Tempo part 5.22 km average 5:45 min/km 167 bpm #running #temporunning #adidasrunning #runnersofmastodon #runningcommunity
