FB is pretty accurate, it’s a 24 hour race in 3 weeks time, pick your own route, measured as the crow flies rather than total mileage. As the race starts close to home every step will take me away from my wife :slight_smile:

Check your bag for Airtags, if it’s like Adam’s bike, she’ll be completely clueless as to your location!

6 mile run :man_running: :dash: ===

Almost back to normal post cough hopefully.

Few climbs in the mix: calves, heels feel great, in fact better than pre-injury. Been a bit lazy though with the exercises lately :grimacing:

Dreary day though - dreich as they say

Basically running at 5:40/km varying grade 0/2/3% walking breaks every so often.

Used my watch linked to Zwift. My watch had the distance and speeds all wrong, but Zwift has them almost perfectly right…:face_with_monocle:

No training again for me :triumph::man_shrugging:t4:

Puppy up at 0433 and I was too tired.
Then did an exam (passed it, second attempt) after work, so no time for exercise :cry:

Pizza and beer celebration time now :pizza::beers:

Another reminder today that whilst my flat, cruising run pace and efficiency tends to come back quickly. The other elements like speed, speed endurance and hill strength definitely do not!

Wanted to do some sort of session today, though wasn’t really feeling it. Ended up with 3 x 1km with 3.00r between. Cranked up the pace on each km with a 3.28, 3.18, 3.09. Ragged.

Off out tonight. So I’ll class that as all my calories pre-burnt.

Odd day at work, so did a steady 6.5km on the treadmill in the middle of the afternoon.

1.5% incline. 11.5kph pace.

I did a slightly hard effort from Marpool Hill to Bradham lane on the old railway path this morning, cos Maryka was claiming she was faster than me, turns out I’m 10th overall, and you’re nowhere in the top 10… I wasn’t even trying, just going fast enough to make sure I beat a late 40’s woman who’s on 400km for the year running.

Track session at the velo park.

No watches, no phones allowed. I had a great time, but as it’s not recorded or on Strava… I’m not sure it happened :frowning: Am I even real?
