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.

In honor of the real Legends (like @teufen ) who are running the Legends Trail this weekend in Belgium I set out today to become a Local Legend again in my own neighborhood (at least on Strava). This resulted in a mixture of road, trail, dirt road and grassland and 2 Laurels in reward 😁.
The other goal this morning was going 1 k further than last week. So I did 13k.

Back on track!
Training at my running club SISU. Feels good to challenge the muscles again.
Tonight was running technique ('loopscholing'), and in the main part 400m run at 5k tempo - 2 strength exercises (jump rope, dumbells steps, ladder, battle rope, sandbag lunges...) - 800m run at 5k tempo - 2 strength exercises and that 4 times 🥵.
IJsselloop
Heerlijk weer, fijne sfeer, lekker gelopen in Deventer met de collega's van Hogeschool Saxion. En een nieuw PR op de 15km 😀
Nice weather, good vibes, run well in Deventer with colleagues from Saxion University of Applied Sciences. And a new PB for 15k 😀
Nog 2 weken tot de #IJsselloop, dus vanaf nu iets minderen in volume. Vandaag een mooi rondje buitenaf op medium tempo, langs Albergen waar ze druk zijn met de voorbereiding van het paasvuur.

Rain and shine today. Easy run to release some of the #bm100 tension of this week. Trails to prepare for the #Vechtdaltrail (in July) and bridges for the #IJsselloop (april 14th).

Vandaag de 15km van de IJsselloop gelopen, heerlijk weer, mooi parcours (4 keer over de IJssel) en met collega's van Saxion genoten van de sfeer en de gezelligheid.
Tevreden met de netto eindtijd (1.21.04), dus onder de 5:30 /km kunnen lopen.
