My rural roadruns now include multiple 9km laps with 14% hill climbs and single km reps for speedwork. It's a combo that will take me to a sub 20pb for a 5km hilly course #KeepOnRunnin #EnjoyYourExercise

My fastest ever k on my 5k run this morning. Run fast to run fast, with a nod to the 80:20 slow:fast running rule of course! 🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️👍👍👍😅😅😅

Did a 10 mile run in wind and rain earlier this week. What surprised me was how much more I enjoyed it compared to the same run under blue skies in hot sunny weather. Battling the elements with rain in your face cooling you down on a long run ticks all the boxes! Am I alone? 🏃♂️🏃♂️

10 mile run this morning, just fields and the rest of nature for company.
Did my usual vocal exhortation of c'mon! around half way and it dawned on me that this is aimed partly at the run itself and partly at life as a whole.
Find a thing you do well, let it reset your life!🏃♂️

Just saw this:
When doing hill training, don't do hill repeats more than once a week.

Sound advice given the intensity of these sessions but that's what keeps me coming back for more. Several sessions a week, works for me! 😅🏃♂️👍

Hill reps in breezy conditions this morning, took it really easy until the final 2 then hit the gas on warmed up legs. Felt fast but having opted to ditch my garmin to just enjoy my running I have no data to check. I'd call it a win, it felt fast and feelings matter. Loved it 😅

Back to my hill rep routine this morning after injury 3 weeks ago. Recovery included resting my knee (for 1 week), hydrotherapy (a bit of swimming), non impact therapy (a bit of cycling). Delighted to report 'knackered knee' is now 'new knee'. I've missed running! 🏃♂️🏃♂️👍👍❤❤

So today was a first. Gave my push bike more welly than usual whilst climbing a hill on the way to work this morning, then a bang and I'd sheared off the bike saddle! The saddle bolt had snapped in half. All fixed now, new clamp and bolt from my spares box. Still alive too!👍👍

New daily high burn exercise regime kicked off today. Running hill reps at dawn before work, then cycling to and from work. If I can do that most days I will go sub 20 at Parkrun in a month or two imo. Or flatline trying! Strength training, my endurance is sorted. Lets see!🏃♂️🏃♂️

My 10 mile road run this morning brought the added joy of wind, rain, flooded gulleys and hail. Some hours later my face feels like it's had a free facial scrub! Enjoyed it so much out there! Hope you all enjoyed your weekend running too! 🏃♂️🏃♂️😅😅👍👍

Road running, so much more to me than just running on a road. Did another 10 miler this morning and it made me feel like it was the best thing I'd achieved all week, by a mile. By 10 miles in fact. If you don't regularly get that feeling of achievement, go find it #Running 🏃♂️😅🏃♂️

Pushed a bit harder on today's 10 mile road run. Dug in on the hills and sprinted the descents. Easy pace on the flats. Now my calves are super tight and my quads are screaming. What's the chances of DOMS tomorrow and needing a zimmer frame?! Gotta love the burn though 😀🏃♂️👍😅

Perfect weather today, another 10 mile road run. Form and fluency improving, breathing and pace controlled, until an all out sprint finish! With time on feet, up and down hills and some on the flat, my running muscles have nowhere to hide. Out in Nature and cheaper than a gym!🏃♂️

My NYD's 10 mile road run this morning, found a weather window of stunning sunshine and blue skies for the whole time. Downpours beforehand had the hill gullies in torrents as the soaking fields drained away. Shiny wet tarmac squeaked beneath my Asics. Time stood still. HNY all x

Today's 10 mile road run was mainly head wind and side winds. The legs felt it in the last few miles so eased off the pace before giving it full throttle for the final mile home. The legs won't thank me for a few days! 🤣🏃♂️😅

Man being able to know and to grow his own knowledge can become all consuming and his own undoing, by forming his requirement for determining all his beliefs and all his truths.
