Name’s Chris, 5 years retired and counting. Dreadlocks since 2002. Love running, music especially metal, quality beers, bourbons and ryes.
First 10k since my last race in September and first easy pace since July and not what I was expecting, pace down 2 min/km and hr up 20 bpm. Definitely a lot to improve on #running #10krun #corosrunning #runchat #runsky

A very enjoyable 5k with my local pub’s Thursday social jog. Tough going on a hilly route but well worth it #running #socialrun #corosrunning #runchat #runsky

Wasn’t able to run over the weekend, copd had left me breathless for most the time. Managed 30 minutes this evening but was a struggle even at what would have been a relatively slow pace. Hope things improve so I can begin training for my first half in April #running #slowrunning #corosrunning

Aurora borealis over Ballaine Lake in mid-September, an unexpected show while on my way home from the gym late at night.

8k at tempo just under 49 minutes with stops and walk breaks to keep hr in the right zone. Not the best I’ve ran but will accept as recovering from a chest infection #running #temporunning #corosrunning #runchat #runsky

Not going to profess as a good photographer I’m probably lower than average but the quality of my iPhone 17 pro is incredible. To get an image of the moon, hand held with this quality is unbelievable #moonphotography #iphone17pro #iphonephotography

Last but one of the year and some more lunchtime miles. Was hoping to keep pace a bit more consistent but had to slow a bit to keep in the desired hr zone for the route chosen #running #dailyrun #adidasrunning #runchat #runsky

Not the best run I’ve done but at least I’ve some guidelines to work with. Planned on running 10k but with my chest feeling tight and needing to slow to a walk on numerous occasions, I decided to call it a day after 4 miles #running #adidasrunning #thresholdrunning #runsky #runchat

8k treadmill run done experimenting with how far it takes to go between LT1
and LT2 at a set speed. So pace set to 8kph, 1st lap at LT1 157 bpm 2.31 km 15:20 min and then at 8k, 175 bpm 53.20 min. Hope to improve on that over time, either faster pace for same hr or lower hr for same pace #running

Treadmill run this morning, 5 minutes warm up then 40 minutes pace set to 8kph. Hr average 143 bpm max 154 bpm. Last time I ran a similar session, hr average was 135 bpm so some work needed to return to previous fitness levels #running #treadmillrunning #runsky #runchat
