Made a new friend on my run. Perhaps a hairy woodpecker. Red patch on the back of their neck was very faint. The trails are still muddy in spots, but a lot drier than I expected. Pathways are mostly clear. Beautiful running weather. Double long run weekend. After yesterday's wet slog, this was glorious. One more week of base and then a ten week build! I'm feeling cautiously optimistic! Looking forward to the grind!

Just think: the average person who isn't into #running or hiking has absolutely no idea why a $20 pair of socks is totally worth it.

I think I'm going to become the Johnny Appleseed of getting normals to experience the plush luxury of Finer Socks Club.

Or maybe we should keep it to ourselves and be a sock oligarchy. IDK.

Cherry Blossom Ten Mile Run today - not my best outing, 83:31, 8:22 pace. Had a restroom emergency at mile 4 and had to wait 3 minutes in the line - my moving time was just at 80 minutes, pretty close to goal.

We had 13 runners from the 'hood this year - it's great to live in a place where we can have fun together and look out for each other too (before/after) #running

An easy run of an hour would have become a 10km pb. That seemed very unlikely to me and it was. My Garmin Fenix 7 appeared to be off track again and had calculated 2km longer than the actual distance
An export / import of the GPX recovered the distance but I become more and more disappointed with Garmin. Crashes, wrong distance, there always seems to be something wrong nowadays.

We went easy and without a pause this time .

My thoughts to @officehippy who is somewhere in the middle of English night having a lot of fun

Villeurbanne main street "Henry Barbusse" by night completely empty of people. only 2 lines of trees leading to the white tower of city hall in the background, with its blue lighted clock and windows. there is a greenish touch to the whole scene from a pharmacy neon.

A nice steady 8 miles of #Running today. Felt much better when out on the roads still not 100%

It's been a while since I've run in the evening.
After a busy day, this was just what I needed.
35 minutes - music in one ear and sounds of the sea in the other - I know I'm lucky.
#music First random track; The Undertones - 'Teenage Kicks' ( one of the best ever ?).
Enjoy your running.

Today's beautiful, cloudless #sundayRunday in four pictures.

A straight gravel path with trees to the left and right, with a cloudless blue sky.

From the vantage point of a watchtower, I see a lush expanse of trees in the foreground, giving way to a sprawling grassland. Beyond that lies a bustling city, its buildings glinting in the sunlight, and in the far distance, a majestic mountain range rises against the horizon.

Solid Sunday run today

5.7km because #Garmin 10k plan suggested a structured workout and it turned out to be good

10’ warm up
1.5 miles / 2.4 km easy run
0.5 mile / 800m all out
10’ cool down

It’s interesting because my cool down pace after the all out is pretty much the same pace of the easy run and it felt like something relaxing. I’m sure there is some interval training science there.

Fun experiment. I did very well and I am happy with today’s run.

I managed to find 1000m of elevation gain on my local trails, without any hill reps or retracing my steps. Super slow pace - goal was to run the downhills hard to condition my legs for Eryri descents, then keep the rest in zone 2, so I walked a lot of the climbs.

Training plan here is following Koop's "four disciplines of ultra running", namely hiking, flat running, uphill running, and downhill running. I'm making sure I get a good spread of each.
