Sharing some running life. Lots of treadmill running especially in winter. Look for me in Zwift. Didn’t get serious about running until 54 yrs. 25 or so marathons 4hrs -> 3:03 PB. Ultras up to 100 mile. 1500m and 3000m track. Love it all!

Treadmill workout this morning. I thought seriously about not doing it on account of my calves being very tight still from hills outside Saturday. Felt ok during warm up so I went ahead with 1km intervals at 10k pace

Got my ass kicked on the open road today. My running partner was even taking calls 😅 Nice to get outside. Clear calm and sunny, started out a bit chilly -8c but was dressed perfectly. Between Fridays speed work and the hills on this run my legs are done!

ZLDR Weekend Primer on the treadmill in Zwift. Had a great group of regulars from other runs join in today including one up for 4am her time! Buddy joined me for HM pace intervals. Felt awesome to run under 3 hour half.

Marathon training today with 5x 3km at MP. Training for 3:30 Edinburgh Marathon in May. 60km in last tree days, legs are feeling it, but overall good considering.

I keep forgetting to post before work after morning runs. Yesterday was 11km at more of an Aerobic pace. Pictured is Bear my shop cat. This morning was 22km easy run with great friends and a new runner racing IM Worlds 💪 Rob’s comment summed it up!

Yesterday I had my first Marathon training workout. It went well.
5km warm up
5x 1km @ 4:20 200m R
5x 200m @ 4:08 50m R
The first and last 1k intervals were the hardest but I was surprised how fluid the middle ones felt. Today was an easy 7km. Legs are good #running #treadmill #zwift #zldr #marathon

18.5km today in Zwift. Had some time before my ZLDR event so I used the who’s running feature to drop in on some friends. After that was a 15km event. My bad leg seems to be getting better despite some speedy pickups. Marathon training starts next week 🤞 Bear hugs after ❤️ #running #treadmill #cat

Another day another treadmill. The Tuesday ZLDR workout group are great! Lots of distractive conversations and everyone encourages each other 👍 Did some serious pickups sub 4:00 min/km. Felt great and no ill effects today. Feels like my legs are improving every day.

Beautiful winter day here in bright sunshine. Thought I would share the ICE crystals falling from the poplar trees as they sparkle in the sun

7km filler to make 60km week. Did a little pick up which felt good but feeling it in knee now. Post run hugs from Bear. Have a great weekend!

Friday morning 21km ZLDR treadmill run in Zwift. Only four runners today. One from Norway and one from Italy were silent. That left me and Stephanie from Sudbury to chat away on various topics. Bear showed himself as I was running. He slowly moved closer. #running #treadmill #cat #zwift #treadmill

For the fist time Bear was out of his hiding place and greeting me with Meow when I opened the door. He is
Progressing every day.
8km treadmill this morning. Nothing exciting but enjoyable chat and joking around in Zwift makes the run go fast 👍 #treadmill #running #zwift #zldr #cat

Treadmill this morning. Decided my little buddy at the shop, where the treadmill is located will be named Bear since he looks like one and goes into hibernation when the treadmill is running. Run felt good today even with a bit more speed.

8km treadmill with alternating from 6 to 7mph. Hopefully 7mph will become the easy pace by February 🤞
