Saturday long run done. Not the best Iโve ran tbh, copd still causing problems and had to slow to a walk on more occasions than would have preferred. Got my first half in 3 weeks time, just hope Iโm fit enough to give it a good attempt #running #halfmarathontraining #longrun #coros #runchat #runsky
Half marathon training continues with a 4 mile easy run. Still not up to fitness but a slight improvement on last time out and hoping to be as ready as I can be in 25 days for Poseidon Athens Half #running #halfmarathontraining #coros #runsky #runchat

Half marathon training continues with an easy paced Friday 5 miler. Same route as 10 days ago, similar conditions but slightly quicker and a good 4 bpm lower on average #running #halfmarathontraining #corosrunning #runsky #runchat
Didnโt sleep well last night so was not looking forward to todayโs workout on the plan which was race pace repeats, 8x480m at 153-164 bpm and 8x800m at 165-174 bpm. It should have been 10x but Iโd had enough after the 8 #running #halfmarathontraining #coros #runchat #runsky

My weekend training is consistent and I'm walking a mile every day indoors, but I've struggled to get outside during the week. The pupperina and I just returned from a run/walk/run mile ... outside! I'm counting that as a win. #runchat #depressionhatesamovingtarget #getoutside #halfmarathontraining

After yesterdayโs run tests I can better dial in my workouts for the half marathons lined up in the next 3 months. Today an 8km run with 3 in zone 2 and 5 in zone 3. Pace a little slower than expected due to the more hilly route taken #running #halfmarathontraining #racepace #corosrunning #runsky
