Just one more week until Tatton Park 10k and a 60 minute progression run in the bag. 25 minutes easy, 25 minutes tempo and 5 minutes race pace. Wanted to keep pace as steady in the sections as possible so allowed hr to rise on the inclines #running #progressionrun #onehourrun #tattonpark10k #polarrunning #runnersofmastodon

Intervals day today, 20 minutes warm up, 10x2 minutes at 5:20-5:30 min/km, my present threshold pace but managed to average 5:15 min/km and heart rate still in zone 4 so fitness definitely improving finishing with 10 minutes cool down # running #intervalrunning #thresholdrun #polarrunning #runnersofmastodon #RunningCommunity

Tempo intervals was on the plan for today’s run for a 10k race in two weeks time. 30 minutes warm up, 4.43km at 6:43 min/km, 6x5 minutes at 5:36 min/km average and 10 minutes cool down, 1.34 km at 7:28 min/km. max hr 176 bpm average 156 bpm #running #temporunning #tempointervals #polarrunning #runnersofmastodon

60 minutes easy pace running today. One of those runs were you feel like you could have gone longer #running #easyrunning #polarrunning #runnersofmastodon #RunningCommunity

Tempo intervals today. Socks chosen today; the wolf to represent endurance and the cheetah to represent top end speed #running #temporunning #intervals #tempointervals #polarrunning #runnersofmastodon #RunningCommunity

A nice and easy out and back 40 minutes to start the running week #running #easyrunning #polarrunning #runchat #runnersofmastodon #RunningCommunity

What a difference a day makes. Probably one of my best days out running, everything went almost to plan. 40 minutes easy pace plus 14x25 second hill repeats #running #hillrepeats #10ktraining #polarrunning #runchat #runnersofmastodon #RunningCommunity

Spring is in the air but not in my steps. Wish I could write today’s run off and start again Even though I hit the paces it felt really tough all the way round, whether it was the route chosen, footwear or not enough fuel Breathing heavy, heartrate up just not feeling it. Maybe tomorrow will be better #running #progressionrun #polarrunning #runnersofmastodon #runningcommunity

Goal pace repeats was the order of the day. 20 minutes warm up, 8x2 minutes with 1 minute walk recovery followed by 10 minutes cool down. Got a 10k race in 6 weeks and plan to run it around 51-55 minutes so to average 5:11 min/km is about right #running #runchat #polarrunning #intervaltraining #runnersofmastodon #RunningCommunity

Kicking off this running week with a 7k slow and easy effort. The only objective was to keep pace slow and steady and hr low but with allowances for any inclines so to keep average around 144 bpm is well within my limit #running #easyrunning #slowrunning #polarrunning #runchat #runnersofmastodon #RunningCommunity

That’s the weekend’s running done! Today was intervals day and a session of 16x30 second repeats at mile pace after a 40 minute easy pace warm up. Dug my old Alphaflys for this one as there’s still a bit of life in them for speed work #running #intervals #10ktraining #polarrunning #runchat #runnersofmastodon #RunningCommunity

Not really up to it today as a few errands to run and only got out the door later on so a little incentive was needed as it was tempo day with 8x2 minute repeats which went to plan so that was a bonus #running #temporunning #polarrunning #10ktraining #runnersofmastodon #therunningcommunity

Today’s 10k training plan run was 50 minute zone 1 pace run, keeping between 7:00 and 7:20 min/km. Chose to run on the treadmill so didn’t have to worry about any hills that might affect hr so to keep in zone 1 for almost all the run was a bonus #running #easyrunning #polarrunning #10ktraining #runnersofmastodon #RunningCommunity

Intervals day today as part of 10k training. Started with and extended 40 minute warm up then some dynamic stretching followed by the main event, 16x30 seconds with 30 seconds recovery. Hard going as not done it in a long while #running #intervals #10ktraining #polarrunning #runnersofmastodon #ukrunchat #RunningCommunity

Today, the 10k training plan said hill repeats Been a while so went out with trepidation. 35 minutes easy, 10x45 secs with 1 minute floats and finishing off with a 10 minute cool down jog #running #sundayrun #10ktraining #hillsprints #polarrunning #runnersofmastodon #RunningCommunity

Double run day! A nice easy 15 minute jog to loosen the body as the morning coffee refused to do its job Followed by a 45 minute fartlek session this afternoon including 10x1 minute alternating between 6:00min/km and 7:00 min/km. A hard workout but job done #running #fartlek #polarrunning #10ktraining #runnersofmastodon #RunningCommunity

Sunday long run done. Was hoping to run an hour of tempo as part of the workout but had to cut short by 10 minutes, think I need to readdress things before trying again. Anyway another 15km done and happy for that #running #longrun #sundaylongrun #polarrunning #polarvantagev3 #runnersofmastodon #RunningCommunity

Similar run to a couple of days ago, 60 minutes pace zone 2 run this time in the opposite direction as inclines not as steep just longer so not quite as strenuous on heart rate #running #easyrunning #polarrunning #ukrunchat

60 minutes easy pace running was the plan for this morning and managed to keep within pace zone 2 for practically the whole run apart from a 10 minute warm up and running a few strides to finish off the workout #running #easyrunning #polarrunning #strides #runnersofmastodon #runningcommunity

A trip to the gym for some treadmill miles and a progression tempo. 20 minutes at my current LT1 pace and 20 minutes LT2 pace. Also happy to see HR kept within the zones on average #running #temporunning #progressionrun #adidasrunning #polarrunning #ukrunchat #runnersofmastodon #RunningCommunity
