I started to use #PerplexityAI for my web #search tasks recently. This article seems to confirm it was a good choice. 👍

Today’s #training was a #ProgressiveRun (3km 5:30, 3km 5:15, 2km 5:05, 2km 4:55, 1.5k warmup & cooldown).

I was struggling to keep the base in the last two reps. My legs felt heavy as hell today.

Today’s #training was a progressive #LongRun with #hills with a target accumulated elevation of 360m. Missed that one, made 318. But to be honest, I avoided (up) hills in the last rep because I couldn’t keep up.

I just watched the last episode of #StarTrek #Discovery. No I am feeling a bit #sentimental - like I did after watching all the other last episodes of the newer series…

Today’s #training was a 4-3-2-1 #Tempo workout, where I started with 5:10/km and ended with 4:55/km, decreasing by 5 seconds on each rep. Even if they are challenging ( or just because?), I ❤️ Tempo runs!

Today’s #training with #Runna was a 11km #LongJog with no limits besides being at conversational pace… well, I had no one to talk to other than myself, so the pace went a bit off… 😂🤷‍♂️

🍊 Der Witz kommt flach wie eine Mandarine unterm LKW, aber ist eben der internationale Tag der Früchte.

Der Cartoon zeigt ein Bewerbungsgespräch in einem Büro mit zwei anthropomorphen Mandarinen. Eine Mandarine sitzt hinter einem Schreibtisch als Personalerin und fragt: “Laut Ihren Unterlagen sprechen Sie fließend Mandarin?” Die andere Mandarine sitzt als Bewerberin auf einem Stuhl mit einer Aktentasche und antwortet mit 是, was “ja” bedeutet.

Today was the last #race before the #summer break. It was a race up to the #Uetliberg above #Zurich. I need to find a solution for my #traffic problems on such races. Got stuck three times today, but enjoyed the race.

Today’s #training was another #EasyRun. Today was the first after a long time where I enjoyed staying easy, so it was effortless today to keep the #pace in the right range. ✌️🏃‍♂️
