Easy run scheduled for today. Slow pace with Podrunner podcast of 172 bpm. Sun, rain, driving leg-stinging hail. An enjoyable start to the day.

Hitting the rural trails this morning. A relaxing, hilly run wearing my Hoka Challengers, the trail version of the Cliftons. A slight drizzle initially but it only lasted for a few minutes.

6x400m intervals this morning for someone who’s rarely done any speed work in the past. Strangely enjoyable and a 7:00min/mile pace is becoming more comfortable. VO2max improving too. Adds some fun & variety

Easy paced, low HR run this morning. Felt a bit lethargic beforehand but once out the miles flew by. It’s a good feeling, and improves your mood, to start the day having accomplished something. Now porridge.

Intervals this morning after a rest day yesterday. 4x1 mile with 2 miles before and after. Not used to pace work, ChatGPT says I have been running well within my capability, but I’m enjoying the challenge👍

After yesterday’s fast run it was back to a slow, low HR, recovery run today. Nice to be out on a quiet Sunday morning listening to my audiobook. Warmed up/cooled down aided by ‘Run With Ash’ YouTube videos.

I don’t normally do intervals, much preferring urban and rural trails, but I thought I’d give it a go this morning. Guided by my Garmin I ran 4x1 mile intervals with 2 miles either side. Good fun in the sun.

After yesterday’s tempo run it was a gentle trot out today in persistent drizzle - gilet weather. Enjoyable, listening to my audiobook.

Tempo run to give me a bit of mental and training variety. One of the dock roads is exactly a mile long so ran 2x2miles with slow jogging in between. Max HR only 132 so there’s more in the tank- apparently 😬

Blustery with occasional drizzle but a nice run. Even saw a 🦊 on the Mersey embankment. Garmin suggested a rest day, but that’s tomorrow when it’s v windy with hail. Garmin gods gave me a productive run 👍

Fab spring morning. Beforehand I wasn’t certain I wanted a long run but once out I could have run miles (an all too common feeling). I even ran some hills for fun - a morning run really changes your mood👍

Nice misty morning run. The new Hokas are great and I’ve a new PR along ‘Dodgy dealer’s alley’ - the joys of Birkenhead. Loved it.

New Shoe Day. I retired the last pair of Hoka Cliftons at 1512.7 miles. This new pair fit perfectly. A gorgeous Spring morning for a run along the Mersey embankment.

Jet lag day 3 so it was an afternoon run rather than morning. Fab spring weather. Seemingly a bit faster, not that speed is important. Those N Carolina hills must have helped. Enjoyed it - which is key 👍

Back to my normal routes but was tough going (jet lag day 2 is always bad). Lovely Spring sunshine made it a pleasure to be out.

Back home, jet lagged but just needed to stretch my legs. Garmin suggested a recovery run but, knowing it was a short run, I pushed the pace once the music started. Really enjoyed it.

Fab run here in Charlotte NC, flying home tomorrow. 8°C & the music seemed to assist the effort needed on the inclines. Looking forward to running at home. Must admit Jessie J’s Price Tag is perfect for bounding up hills.
#Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning #runsky
6°C for a nice sunrise run. Weekends have much less traffic noise and some songs on my playlist encouraged me up the hills - Sia’s Unstoppable is perfect. A bit of exploring too. Enjoyed it- which is the important thing 👍
#Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning #runsky
1°C this morning, but not like British damp cold. Ok in shorts and gilet. Really enjoyed it today, music seemed to match the need up the hills. Tom Petty - Criminal Kind seems quite appropriate

Rain forecast but thankfully I missed it and it’s lashing down after my run. Struggled a bit with the heat and humidity but managed to push to 7 miles. 1° tomorrow.

Dark, humid, 20°C this morning. Easy pace up and down the hills. Varied 175 bpm playlist but Sia’s Chandelier & Unstoppable and Jessie J’s Pricetag are pretty good. 2°C on Friday and I’ve only brought shorts 🥶.

Dark initially due to the clocks changing but warm and humid. Mentally tough to get out but it was all in the mind, run was ok once I set off with a new 175 bpm playlist. Sia Unstoppable helped me up a hill.

Warm 17°, overcast with a bit of welcome, cooling drizzle. An easy pace, nursing some hamstring twinges. Standout song ‘I am the highway’ Audioslave - perfect cadence.
#Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning #runsky
A bit lethargic this morning so a slow paced run, no pre-defined route or distance. Just an enjoyable ‘run as you feel’ run. Definitely getting warmer out there!
#Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning #runsky
Warmer today. Followed a Garmin route & befriended by a dog yesterday & today & meeting Brian’s smaller cousin🐌. Those shoes were once white, 1440 miles ago. 174-5 bpm music with standout song The Pretender - Foo Fighters
#Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning #runsky
Fab 7 miles following a route on my watch - to add a bit of variety. 8°C, too warm for my long sleeved shirt. Changed music to a 175 bpm playlist as 172 bpm too slow. Flag seen shows sign of distress/protest👏👏👏.

A bit of a run explore this morning, trying to find footpaths and not run on the road. Chilly 4°C but warmer tomorrow. I’ve been sneezed and coughed on by my grandchildren but am still surprisingly well 👍.
#Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning #runsky
4°C & windy, I thought I’d left that weather behind in the UK. A relaxed run, limited in distance by having few footpaths here, but still fun listening to my 172bpm playlist. 16° at 7am next weekend - looking forward to that

Blue skies, short sleeves weather in North Carolina. Just a short leg stretch this morning listening to some easy paced 172 bpm music followed by a half mile jog with my 5yo grandson. Like the slightly geological road signs

Easy paced run with my Hoka Cliftons having completed 1407.4 miles, the longest distance in any of my running shoes. Will replace them in a few weeks. They were white once!
