A vertical digital photograph shows a calm body of water, likely a lake, under a clear, bright blue sky. In the foreground, the water is transparent, revealing a bed of smooth pebbles and a large, textured grey rock on the right side. In the distance, a shoreline with low-lying buildings and a mountain range with snow-capped peaks are visible under a soft haze. Overlaying the center of the image is white text and graphics from the Strava fitness app: • Top Left: A stylized icon of a running shoe. • Top Right: The STRAVA logo. • Center Title: "Morning Run - tempo" • Distance: 14.02 km • Time: 58m 14s • Pace: 4:09 /km
A wide-angle, eye-level outdoor shot features a paved lakeside promenade on a sunny day. To the right, a calm blue lake meets a rocky shoreline, bordered by a long, light-colored stone seawall. To the left, a paved path is lined with young, leafless trees and a few people, including a person on an electric scooter and a cyclist further ahead. In the background, a lush, forested mountain slopes down toward the water, with a small town and several multi-story buildings visible along the curve of the bay under a bright, clear sky with soft, wispy clouds.
A wide shot captures a white, wooden gazebo at the end of a pier on a calm lake under a pale blue sky with light clouds. In the foreground, two large palm trees in square wooden planters frame the view. Flanking the scene are two tall, leafless deciduous trees with many branches. The walkway to the gazebo is paved, and a black metal railing runs along the edge of the water. The far shore is visible in the distance.
Tempo morning run 🏃 from Bregenz to Lindau and back. 3km warmup/ 14km Tempo / 3km cool down.

Last long run before the Rotorua Marathon. This was slow and hard. #running #runsky #marathontraining
Week 16 / Day 4 👟
Survived the perils of the internet on April fools day yesterday. Got in a good run on my lunch break and looking forward to a lower body strength session later.

The 4.5 kilometre marker on Toronto’s Lower Don Trail. Depending on your point of view, the marker has either been defaced or improved by a white graffiti tag. Behind it is a brick cube-shaped pumping station which has been similarly defaced/improved. Because the image comes from the poster’s Strava account, it is overlaid with running stats and the words, “The Wind Blew Me Home.”
The bronze statue of Terry Fox mid-stride on his Marathon of Hope. To the left behind the statue and blowing in the wind is a Canadian flag. The memorial is set in a stand of trees which are bare because spring has not yet arrived.
Today I logged my 1st 1000 kms of 2026. For perspective, that’s 75% of the distance from my home to the Terry Fox Memorial in Thunder Bay. Or 0.25% of the avg distance from the Earth to the moon. #Running #RunSky #RunnersOfBlueSky #MarathonTraining #TerryFox #Artemis

A vertical, eye-level outdoor shot shows a narrow paved road winding through a snowy landscape under a clear blue sky. The sun, partially obscured by a distant hill on the left, casts a bright lens flare diagonally across the scene. To the left of the road, a snow-covered field slopes upward. To the right, several large, bare deciduous trees stand along the roadside, their intricate branches reaching toward the sky. Patches of green grass and dirt are visible where the snow has melted along the edges of the road. A single power line stretches across the upper right corner of the frame.
Easy morning run 🏃 in Krumbach with sunshine at -3°c. 11,6km/ elevation gain 260m/ 61 min

Week 16 / Day 3 👟
Not a pretty day but the run felt so good. Got in an upper body strength session this afternoon and started an iron supplement today!

6.8 mile run For me this was fast 😊Life is good #Running #RunnerLife #Runsky #Over50Runner #menintights #runningpunks #fitover50 #petite #marathontraining #halfmarathon
Mud covered trainers and colourful socks similarly caked in mud. The image comes from the poster’s Strava account and so is overlaid with running stats and the words, “Fun in the Mud!”
I’ve given up #running in winter gear, so went out in shorts & froze my keister. And my fingers. And my ears. And I got well caked in mud. I guess that makes me an April Fool. #Run #RunSky #RunnersOfBlueSky #MarathonTraining
Week 16 / Day 2 👟
Finally feeling like me again out there.

A vertical, eye-level outdoor shot depicts a wide, wet asphalt pedestrian path lined with leafless trees under an overcast, gray sky. The path stretches from the foreground into the distance, curving slightly to the right. On the left side of the path is a green lawn with a few modern lamp posts and a dark, low-profile building in the background. To the right, a row of benches faces a body of water, separated by a metal railing. In the distance along the waterfront, a white gazebo-like structure stands on a pier. The ground is damp, reflecting the dull light of the cloudy day, and the bare branches of the trees create a dense, intricate network against the sky.
Interval training 🏃 in Bregenz again. It was a very cold, windy and rainy morning, and it wasn't easy to reach a pace of 3:45. 3km warmup, 8x 800m intervals, 3km cool down.

4 mile run And I will repeat myself
So blessed and grateful to be able to run CHEEPER THAN THERAPY #Running #RunnerLife #Runsky #Over50Runner #menintights #runningpunks #fitover50 #petite #marathontraining #halfmarathon
This image is sepia toned, not intentionally, but because early spring scenes in Toronto tend to be dull and emphatically not green. In the foreground is the paved path of Taylor Creek trail curving off to the right and underneath the Woodbine Bridge which curves overhead in a broad arch. In the middle ground, leaning into the image from the right, is a bare willow tree. Because the image comes from the poster’s Strava account, it is overlaid with running stats and the words, “Feeling Gratitude that I can do this.”
Been a while since I last posted a #run to BS. No reason. Except maybe after big runs I lose my fine motor skills & have trouble manipulating the tiny keys on my digital devices. Anyhoo, yesterday took me up to Taylor Creek in #Toronto #LongRun #Running #MarathonTraining #RunSky #RunnersOfBlueSky

I’m hoping to run under 4:30 for Cleveland, but that’s a real dream…

A wide, low-angle vertical shot shows a light-colored dirt path curving to the right through a lush green valley under a bright blue sky with scattered white clouds. To the left of the path, a rustic wooden fence follows the curve, separating the trail from a river and a traditional covered wooden bridge that spans the water. A tall, leafless tree stands prominently near a signpost between the path and the bridge. In the background, steep, forested mountains rise up, with a few white buildings nestled at their base on the right. A tall electrical pylon is also visible in the distance to the right.
Another short and easy morning run 🏃 in Passeier Valley/ South Tyrol. 9,4km in 48min

The story of DirtBags has just taken another step and I feel more nervous and excited than I would for a start line of an ultra-marathon.
After almost two years of prototyping and testing on adventures, the first ever batch is heading to production.

Week 15 / Day 7 👟
Humbled again today by this intermediate training plan… today was supposed to be 20 miles. Three weeks in a row my long run has fallen short. Gonna revise the last three weeks of my training plan and try to get more rest. And some blood tests.

A vertical image showcases a fitness activity summary from the Strava app, overlaid on a scenic outdoor photograph. Background Image The photo features a narrow, rugged river gorge or canyon. A small stream flows over rocks at the bottom, flanked by steep, rocky cliffs and dense greenery, including both coniferous and deciduous trees. The sky is visible at the top, showing a soft, overcast light. Activity Details The Strava logo and a running shoe icon are displayed in white text. The activity is titled "Morning Run - long" and includes the following statistics:
A vertical, wide-angle shot of a picturesque riverside promenade in Meran. Foreground and Architecture On the right, a classic cream-colored building features a long, elegant green wrought-iron veranda with arched detailing. The ground is paved with a neat, fan-patterned cobblestone walkway that curves gently into the distance. Natural Landscape • The River: To the left, a shallow, rocky river flows alongside the path, separated by a green metal railing. • Vegetation: A tree with dark reddish-purple blossoms stands near the riverbank, and small flower beds line the base of the veranda. • The Mountains: In the center background, a majestic, snow-capped mountain peak rises sharply against a soft blue sky with thin, wispy clouds. The overall atmosphere is serene and historic, likely captured in a location like Merano, Italy, during early spring.
A low-angle, eye-level photograph captures a paved pedestrian promenade in an Alpine town. A long row of mature, thick-trunked trees with rough, textured bark and sparse, budding new growth lines the right side of the path, creating a natural canopy. To the right, a yellow-walled building with multiple windows and balconies is partially visible behind the tree trunks and a well-kept garden hedge. On the left side of the path, a green metal railing separates the walkway from a river, with more slender trees and a wooded hillside in the background. The sky is partly cloudy blue, indicating a bright spring day.
Sunday morning long distance run. 🏃 from Passeier Vally to Meran and back. 30km in 2h 42 min, elevation gain 310m. #marathontraining #southtyrol #meran #smartphonephotography
20k long slow easy run today. If I’d pushed on and done 21 I’d have finished it 7 minutes faster than my first ever half marathon ten years ago! But that can be next weekend’s challenge. Exciting new pain in my knee helped distract from ye olde sundry pains. #running #marathontraining
Week 15 / Day 6 👟
Five miler at one of my favorite parks I don’t often get to visit. This is peak week, so I’ve got my 20-miler tomorrow morning. Aiming for an easy average pace of 11:10/mile so we will see how that goes.
#marathontraining #runsky
Day off from running, did a cycling 🚴♀️ workout on Zwift. Trying to mix things up this run.
