When I got home and weighed myself, I lost 2+ KG! Funny thing my scale reported my "metabolic age" is now 4 years younger! đ
This is the first time I ran 50+K on two consecutive Sundays (last Sunday I ran 35.28mi). Next Sunday? Definitely not!

I brought 6 gels and 1.5L electrolyte water. Unfortunately by the 25th mile I drank up all, and had to start walking some of the time to avoid overheating (walk 4min then run at least 5). For a few times I seriously considered asking for some water from bikers, but didnât. At one point I stopped at a stream and splashed cold mountain water on my head to feel better.

This #LongRunSunday I ran from #SnoqualmiePass southbound on Palouse to Cascades State Park Trail: distance 31.33mi moving time 5:05:18 pace 9â45â/mi. I started at ~9am when temperature was ~63F (17.2C), and by the time I ran past 25th mile mark, it was 74F but felt like 80F (26.7C) under the sun.

If civilization crumbles tomorrow, at least I made my #running distance #PR on this #LongRunSunday: 35.28mi (0.78mi increase) with 1046ft EG! I stopped every 10mi at McDonald's for coffee and pies, and walked several times during steep ascents. Moving time 5:29:48 pace 9'21"/mi, avg/max HR 139/159bpm.

This #LongRunSunday I ran 18.78mi on East #SammamishLake, moving time 2:37:26 pace 8â23â/mi. I pushed at the end with peak pace 6â02"/mi HR 162bpm.
I was practicing #breathing, alternating between in*3+out*2 and in*2+out*1. Notes:
* It took me 4mi to get the hang of it because I was used to even ins and outs.
* At times my mind made up a 5-note melody for the first pattern: A-A-E-C-D. Seems my mind is using pitch to denote intensity of each breath.
Heute war wieder #longrunsunday đđ˝ââď¸
Das Wetter war leider nicht ganz optimal, da es schon sehr windig war. Nach ungefähr der Hälfte sah es stark nach Regen aus und ich bin zurßckgelaufen. Ziel waren eigentlich 20 km, aber mit 16 km kann ich sehr gut leben, wenn ich daran zurßck denke, dass ich erst vor einem halben Jahr das erste Mal joggen gewesen bin.
Noch 6 Wochen bis zum #Halbmarathon đ¤đť
PS.
Das Beste nach einem längeren #Lauf ist fĂźr mich zu baden und ein richtig ausgiebiges #FrĂźhstĂźck đ¤
Letzter Longrun vor Tokyo đŻđľ
Eine sehr schĂśne lange Runde bei traumhaft sonnigem aber kaltem Wetter. Auf dem letzten StĂźck alleine nach Hause habe nochmal versucht das Tempo anzuziehen, teilweise aber mit fiesem Gegenwind. Aber ich fĂźhle mich jetzt wirklich gut vorbereitet und das Tapering kann beginnen!

Sunday 10 miles done! Well made up with todayâs run, pace relatively consistent apart from a couple of steepish inclines which meant going a little slower to keep in the right hr zones for the run. #running #longrun #sundaylongrun #longrunsunday #10milerun #16krun #polarrunning #newbalancefuelcell #runnersofmastodon #RunningCommunity #oldguysrule

Thought Iâd put my bobble hat on for running today and ended up looking like a poor manâs Billy gibbons đ although the choice of music was definitely not ZZ Top #running #sundayrun #longrun #longrunsunday #adidasrunning #zztop #theblackdahliamurder #deathmetal #deathcore #runningcommunity #runnersofmastodon #mastorunners #oldguysrule

Ran 9 miles this morning. Resisted as long as I could but finally caved & took a 1 hr nap. Time to eat some more. #LongRunSunday #halfmarathontraining
#LongRunSunday thought I would do some #Florida hill running.
