Updates Β· Running
Below are my latest updates from Mastodon (similar to X, Bluesky, Threads, etc).
14K Run
My Novablast shoes still feels like running on clouds. Super bouncy happy dolphin π¬ foam πππ». Particularly something I notice at the start of the run. Then my tired legs still tell me they are there.
Deload week: I have a Runna prescribed Deload week now. Itβs been a while since last time. I think my recovery processes will enjoy οΏΌππ». I will still run a bit more than the marathon program says β¦ but not much.
26K Progressive Repeat Long Run
Runna session: 7.5K easy. Then 2 x (4K fresh + 3.5K fresher). Then 3.5K easy.
Structured sessions like this makes long runs fly by fast mentally. I really enjoy them.
Progressive Tempo Run
Today was my tempo run day. Another great Runna session: 4 x 2K at progressively faster paces.
The last kilometer was challenging. I did also stay at the ambitious end of my pace targets throughout β¦so perhaps thatβs part of it (producing more lactate than I could have gotten away with).
I had a 3K easy run up to the start of the session. So a total of 15K today.
Runna session:

Went indoor yesterday afternoon - treadmill. But in the middle of the run the Campus fire alarm went off β¦ false alarm β¦ so the run got done in two parts ππ»

500m Elevation Gain / Trail Run
A Strava connection and I decided to meet up and run a trail run together. It was really fun - we seem to talk a lot both of us β¦ so the hours went by fast. We accumulated 500m EG - so it was far from easy ππ€ ππ»οΏΌ
Tempo 2K Repeats π
Wrapped today up with 15K in total (1K run plus this 14K). It was a Runna workout : 3 x 2K with a few minutes rest. My legs are toast now. Due to this run plus the one 2 days back (Drop set). Again tailwind driven.
I just hit 600K running for the month π€ . Thatβs a new personal volume record already π₯³ β¦. And I still have a run for tomorrow ππ»
Happy weekend π€©
| Run | Drop Set |

2 x 800m.. Faster π¨
2 x 600m.. Even Faster π¨
2 x 400m.. Light Speed Fast π¨
2 x 200m.. Faster Than Light Speed Fast π¨

Tailwind edition, except last 200m rep β¦ that was full crazy mode head wind.
I was slightly nervous before todayβs session. Didnβt know if I could complete it. But it went well I think (but tougher than tough π₯΅π€ ππ»οΏΌ)
16K Trail run
Hybrid: road to trail. trail π³. road to home π‘
My legs are still slightly tired. But it was a good run - getting into the flow on the trails is always lovely.
Tomorrow is speed workout day οΏΌ
88 minutes post work run οΏΌ
Slightly heavy legs - especially the last 4-5 kilometers π. I started an hour ish later than normally (after work) β¦ so I ended up with the headlamp π¦. I REALLY look forward to relaxing a bit after dinner π½οΈπππ»
