Running

It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon, and nice to be outside, though it was more crowded than usual (10 people instead of 1).

Ah well, I did an easy 🏃 🚶🏼 🏃 of 9 km (900 m:100 m), followed by 1 km fast.

For more details, see my Garmin Connect page.

Today’s 🏃 was easy run-walk-run. It was raining slightly, but still warm, which made the heat worse.

For those interested, I ran 8,1 km in 55:46 min (6:53 min/km). Considering the circumstances, not bad. For more deets, see my Garmin page.

Today’s 🏃 was an easy walk-run-walk (800 m 🏃 200 m🚶🏼) of 9 km. Ran 7.2 km in 48:20 min (6:43 min/km), for those wanting deets.

To bring variety in my 🏃 training, today I did an interval training. It was hot, 28℃ (82℉) in the shade, me in the sun. Still, well-hydrated, it was doable.

In case anyone wants to know, 5 times 200 m, with my heart rate above my LT heart rate, or 5:15 min/km on average.

Wow, such a slow 🏃 At times my imaginary self could’ve pass me by power walking. Ah well, another one for the books, as they say, don’t they?

P.S. I found out why I was so slow, overreach, Runalyze told me so. A rest day was in order, as well as re-evaluating my training “plan”.

My 🏃 was so terribly slow. I blame it on the sudden rise in outside temperature. Nature was beautiful, though.

I can’t but except it 乁໒( ͒ ⌂ ͒ )७ㄏ 🏃

I had an off day 🏃 Counter 9-in-60 back to zero, because I needed more than an hour to run 9 km. Bummer!

I 🏃 my 9-in-60 2/5 in rain, hail and thunder. Luckily, it wasn’t raining 🐸 or I’d expected the end of days.

I want to 🏃 more distance in an hour, or IOW, faster. I should be able to do 5 consecutive easy runs of 9 km in an hour before I advance to doing 10 km easy running sessions. Today was 9-km-in less-than-60-minutes (shortened as: 9-in-60) number 1 out of 5.

My first 🏃 after being vaccinated 💉 with AstraZeneca. I had a head wind in the first half. On my way back home it went like clockwork with the wind in my back. The pouring rain didn’t bother me, since I could empty my head after two stressful days of pain and recovery.

Early bird catches the worm, so to speak. Today’s 🏃 was easy enough and I felt good, despite too short a night. I suppose I’m a bit anxious because of the vaccination 💉 shot later today.

Tomorrow I’ll get my first ever COVID-19 vaccination, so I want to remain as fit as possible. Today’s 🏃 proved yet again that I am. 💉

With 12 ℃ it was a bit chilly at first, but nice after a few minutes of 🏃 I went a slightly different route and had to wait for quite some commuters in cars, who obviously weren’t working from home. Anyway, lovely run at—for me right now—a decent pace.

After a (needed and deserved) rest day I ran again 9 km. While the highway was rather busy, where I 🏃 there was little traffic.

I did a run-walk-run of 20 km, 16 km 🏃 and 4 km🚶🏼Afterwards I had to stretch to relieve the muscle soreness. I took a snapshot every 5 km, where ever I was.

I could feel this was the 5th4th consecutive day of 🏃 This is when some need motivation to continue. Nature wasn’t helping either, with several hissing geese with chicks I had to give a wide berth, which is amusing, considering I was running around a body of water.

With 17 ℃ it was a bit tougher to 🏃 coming from Winter temperatures. Still, I somehow managed to run an hour.

Today’s 🏃 contained slaloming 🐌 🐌 a dilapidated fortress guarded by lots of geese in the court, and goslings with mama goose hissing at me. So, the usual 😊

With 16 ℃ it actually feels like Spring and lovely weather for 🏃 I saw some with Winter coat walking the dog, coat open.
