After last week’s lactic threshold and vo2 max tests I’ve been recommended to run more in my revised zone 2(150-165 bpm) to build endurance and fatigue resistance to help in any future races. Today 50 minutes done plus an easy 5 minutes recovery to finish off #running #adidasrunning #runsky #runchat

Going to try and get as many runs in this week as from next Frida I won’t be able to do much exercise as have a hernia op scheduled. Today a steady paced recovery run at the gym #running #recoveryrunning #corosrunning #runsky #runchat

today’s plan was to run at half marathon effort using the revised training zones after the last lactate test. 5k in zone 2 (156-165 bpm) and 9k in zone 3 (166-175 bpm) Hard going on the last 4 km today and had to slow down a few times to keep hr in right zone #running #longrun #corosrunning #runsky

Went out for my first run since having the lactate threshold test, decided to push a little bit more than usual on my easy runs. The guy testing me set my zones to high end of 1 to LT1 and high end of 3 to LT2 and made the other zones quite compact for better training #running #adidasrunning

Had another threshold test yesterday to re determine my zones. LT1 up from 139 to 155 bpm and LT2 up from 172-175 bpm so a little work to improve that but pleased that aerobic base has got better #running #runsky #runchat

Today’s run was ok, kept in right zones for majority, couple of times jeffing to make sure hr didn’t get too high although when a car went through a red as I was crossing a road it did spike. Apart from that a good 100 minutes done #running #sundaylongrun #corosrunning #runchat #runsky

Centrist politics is dead in the UK

It's

Green Party - left wing progressive, caring society, equality, inclusion

Vs

Reform UK - far-right, ultra nationist, promotes selfishness avarice, war, inequality, discrimination, persecution of minorities, misogyny, cronyism, xenophobia/extreme racism

To the mini-van driver who honked and mouthed "Get off the road" as I was running today. Look, sir, there was NO sidewalk where I was running, and I ain't running on uneven, rocky ground. I was as close to the curb as I could get. So share the road and zip it! #running #run

After yesterday’s speed session, a recovery run was the order of the day and another session on the treadmill. 45 minutes in zone 1 keeping hr around LT1 for the workout. Got back home and my wife said do you want to for a meal? Errr yeah! #running #recoveryrunning #easyrunning #runchat #runsky

A frustrating morning at the gym. Took my Polar chest strap to measure hr for my intervals workout and it decided to spike each time l tried it so had to resort to using my watch for hr so unsure of accuracy. Anyway had a go at 4x4 minutes with 3 minutes rest today. #running #intervals #4x4minutes
