Running!

Last weekend was the end of peak week, did 11 and change around a reservoir. I’ve managed to be consistent since then, between 3 and 5 miles per day.

I’m not sure what the running plan is this weekend, probably relaxed a bit / no long runs.

The race is next week, and I’m feeling prepared. I could do it tomorrow if need be, but it would be tough. Having a few rest days leading up to race day will be excellent.

I’m still on my shoes from last year. The soft parts are basically smooth. No tread. I’ll get new ones after this race, it’s too late to break in new ones now.

Recovering from a small injury, working my way back up to 6-7 mile runs. Did 5 miles this morning 👍

Out of town for a farm stay holiday this last week. Made it out for a few runs along the river through beautiful forest. I really love running in the country. Reset my PBs as I realised stopping and starting my watch wasn't really giving me accurate times. Relying on the auto-pause feature from now on. Finally feeling injury free 🤞

I started doing the opposite as I found my Forerunner always had a delay on my pace that meant it didn't detect starts or stops quickly enough to give an accurate time. Manual works a lot better for me. I ran a 12 km recently and my manual start/stop time on the watch was identical to the official race time, which is crazy after an hour of running.

Running is finally going great! I'm still liking the Merrell vapor gloves, but ordered a few pair of Xero with the sale. All four pair that I ordered were too narrow. Luckily I was able to pick up some Altra lone peaks so I can still go on a trail run tomorrow.
