Last night I joined the local run club for one of their weekly runs. 6 miles in total. Lot of fun people to chat with. The end was a bit of a struggle. Hunger started hitting pretty hard in the last 2 miles.
Today, hunger continues to be a struggle. But I'm down 3 more lbs in the last week so that's giving me the willpower to not overeat... for now.
Post workout TM 30min/4mile
- stil got a chesty cough
so at 85% but I still deserve cake - now which 1 first

Today’s workout:
10’ rowing (more like 12, I’m getting better)
30’ strength
20’ yoga
Goal is to run 30 min the next few days, add some more yoga to the mix, and prepare my body to catch up so the knee thing doesn’t flare up again and I get to 10k again. Good?

I normally do my 2nd workout over lunch. Typically a treadmill or cycling trainer workout. But today I'm joining a running group and doing a post dinner run.
Days where I don't workout over lunch are when I feel the most productive on my to do list. They are really exciting cause it gives me an extra 1-2 hours of focused and usually uninterrupted time to work on something. But skipping my workout makes me feel like garbage so I typically only get to take advantage of open lunches once every week or so when I take a genuine rest day.
Played with Adobe Express and liked it happy #wednesday #runnersofmastodon

Good Morning peeps :)
Short run this morning, to get me back in sync, before my long run on Friday.
Short sleeves (no base layer) this morning as yesterday was warm, so chilly sea fog that had crept inland over night, I could have done without
I really put the rubber to the road, and set a new PB for 5km (chopping 66 secs off of my previous best)
Finished my run looking out across the harbour at St Pauls Bay, before walking home.
7.26km - 48.21 - 06'39"
I started another Garmin Coach 10k plan because I am out of running shape, so it assigned a benchmark run for me today.
Garmin Coach plans are smart-ish plans that follow a pattern but adapt the assignments based on your performance. I have had plenty of success following them. Did 5k, 5k with a pace goal, then 10k last summer.
Therefore I am doing 10k again now but basically just to prevent injury (I tend to have more endurance than my knees)
The plan starts from a 9min benchmark run, then you can pick one of three different “coaches” to follow. I picked coach Jeff this time
So that’s it. Back into 10k training to see how soon I am back running safely and not getting hurt.
Happy running season!
Well that’s a week of my life taken by man flu - first gentle steps back as stil only 75% so steady as he goes

A nice and easy out and back 40 minutes to start the running week #running #easyrunning #polarrunning #runchat #runnersofmastodon #RunningCommunity
First actual #run in a while. And not just jogging along. Onwards!
#happymonday #runnersofmastodon #running #10k
#trailrun du jour, de la boue, de l'effort, une paire de chaussures à nettoyer !
Sentiers glissants, flaques traîtresses, mais une bonne dose de fun !
Ça glisse, ça éclabousse, mais ça forge les jambes et l’esprit.
Objectif atteint, récompense : un bon café bien chaud !
️ Et à la douche
Hey #runnersofmastodon and #fitness people in general
What are some fitness and #running apparel brands that are not from the US?
I know Lulu is Canadian and I have a ton of their stuff.
I also know Adidas is German.
Any other suggestions?
Went for a quick Sunday run. Wasn’t feeling super strong and it’s very windy. Did 3k and that’s about it.
It’s funny because it’s not like my HR spiked or anything, I was just feeling… weak? A bit light headed, maybe? Maybe I didn’t eat enough for breakfast.
Anyway, Garmin thinks I did *super* well and congratulated me, thinks my VO2 max increased. I will absolutely never understand Garmin’s standards.
Another half-marathon distance run in the bag, on the beautiful Carretera de les Aigües, and back down to Plaça Catalunya.

En el entrenamiento de hoy he pisado más charcos que el camarero de "El guateque".
Me gusta comprobar que las sandalias son perfectamente válidas en estas circunstancias, con terrenos húmedos y arrasados por corrientes de agua.
Today I participated on a locally organised trail run. I only did the 5k with 150m positive height gain, which was quite nice. Cutest thing though were the hand made medals from local slate (Schiefer)
Second Sunday with no running. .
Bite is healing really well. It’s just a waiting game. Don’t want to reopen the wound.
