They see me rowing 🚣 …
I just wasn’t with it today, I just couldn’t be bothered going out for a run. But I did do a 5km rowing session instead along with an ab focus HIIT / strength workout

VO2Max session out in the cold today, eventually I warmed up 😆

Setup was 12 x 500m at 6:26/mile (4:00/km). I felt a lot better than the last time I did this workout when the airways were full of phlegm 🤧

An easy paced long run today with majority of it nicely landing in Aerobic Zone 3.

Simple easy paced run with some sprints thrown in. Garmin has finally now reclassified me as “Productive” 😆

Just wasn’t with it today (under the weather), so I set out a fartlek type run for my intervals session but I just couldn’t do much speed, difficult to breathe. That’s all part of winter eh

Today’s long run after it’s been raining throughout the night, puddles and mud everywhere but at least it wasn’t raining on me during my run 😄

Getting back into the difficult VO2 Max sessions 😮‍💨

12x500m at 6:26/mile (4min/km), this should definitely boost my anaerobic effort.

Mostly got them on target within 5s or so, a few outliers though when there was hills on my route 😬 but overall happy (that it’s over).

Went too fast on today’s long run and turned into a tempo run 🏃‍♂️ ah well it’s done now

I must admit I loved the colder weather, wrapped up the legs and arms today.

That was my first winter type run in the dark this evening (yeah I know it’s autumn). It was pitch black in areas so need to be careful I don’t do something stupid like twist my ankle . The run type was a short easy paced run.

Threshold Tuesday
🔥 3x 7:15/mile (6 mins) + Recovery (2 mins)
➡️ Where pace meets patience

…If you run in km then the pace was 4:30/km

Today’s long run was in the rain and weirdly I enjoyed it. Makes a change as only 4 weeks ago to the day, I was melting in the Berlin marathon. I threw in some sprints also as I’m really lacking anaerobic work these days.
