Last Notes npub1g8rdqsvdks68jfzg5xcw4c5kzzdglw3ml5jhkswkzqs7vt6f0nssrw2cn5 dredmann666 I certainly did 😊🍻 npub1g8rdqsvdks68jfzg5xcw4c5kzzdglw3ml5jhkswkzqs7vt6f0nssrw2cn5 dredmann666 Ran the Media City 5k race organised by RunThrough UK last night and completed the course in a very respectable 27.21 minutes. Considering this is the first time I’ve raced this distance for two years and to run in a time like that is very encouraging #running #5krace #polarrunning #runnersofmastodon npub1g8rdqsvdks68jfzg5xcw4c5kzzdglw3ml5jhkswkzqs7vt6f0nssrw2cn5 dredmann666 Tatton Park 10k this morning and another sub 60 minutes run (chip time 58:57) First 5k ok second about 2 minutes slower with a heavy incline between 4-6 km but managed to finish strong #running #10krace #polarrunning #runnersofmastodon npub1g8rdqsvdks68jfzg5xcw4c5kzzdglw3ml5jhkswkzqs7vt6f0nssrw2cn5 dredmann666 Today’s run was not the best I’ve ran tbh, struggled to keep in zone 2 without resorting to a lot of stops and walking. Glad its over and can start again in a day or two #running #slowrun #10krun #polarrunning #runnersofmastodon npub1g8rdqsvdks68jfzg5xcw4c5kzzdglw3ml5jhkswkzqs7vt6f0nssrw2cn5 dredmann666 Hell of a busy day today, an important video call this morning and an appointment later on so this run was a much needed one. One huge bonus though I got my confirmation email that my application to run Tokyo Legacy Half has been accepted #tunning #easyrunning #cathartic #polarrunning #runnersofmastodon npub1g8rdqsvdks68jfzg5xcw4c5kzzdglw3ml5jhkswkzqs7vt6f0nssrw2cn5 dredmann666 So glad I decided to run today instead of my scheduled one tomorrow. Everything was on point, decent pace heart rate in the right place for the majority of the run and the added strides at the end just sealed a perfect run. #running #easyrunning #strides #coros #runnersofmastodon npub1g8rdqsvdks68jfzg5xcw4c5kzzdglw3ml5jhkswkzqs7vt6f0nssrw2cn5 dredmann666 tbh honest the rain has been hit and miss today and we just found a lucky spot to go out for the run. Hope you don’t get too wet tomorrow npub1g8rdqsvdks68jfzg5xcw4c5kzzdglw3ml5jhkswkzqs7vt6f0nssrw2cn5 dredmann666 5k run with my local’s run club. Ran it as 3x1 mile threshold intervals as we take a break around a mile for others to catch up. A really good run done #running #intervals #coros #runnersofmastodon npub1g8rdqsvdks68jfzg5xcw4c5kzzdglw3ml5jhkswkzqs7vt6f0nssrw2cn5 dredmann666 One I’m extremely proud of #medalmonday npub1g8rdqsvdks68jfzg5xcw4c5kzzdglw3ml5jhkswkzqs7vt6f0nssrw2cn5 dredmann666 Now that’s what you call carbing up #raceprep #pizza #running #halfmarathon npub1g8rdqsvdks68jfzg5xcw4c5kzzdglw3ml5jhkswkzqs7vt6f0nssrw2cn5 dredmann666 Wow just wow wow #LondonMarathon npub1g8rdqsvdks68jfzg5xcw4c5kzzdglw3ml5jhkswkzqs7vt6f0nssrw2cn5 dredmann666 I actually thought about going out but last time I ran in the rain, it eventually caused a bad copd reaction and hospitalised me so thought better of it npub1g8rdqsvdks68jfzg5xcw4c5kzzdglw3ml5jhkswkzqs7vt6f0nssrw2cn5 dredmann666 Story of my life! All set up for my Sunday long run, race kit on, phone charged, gels in pocket, dynamic stretching done and the heavens opened up 😔😢 #running #runningwoes #rainstopseverything npub1g8rdqsvdks68jfzg5xcw4c5kzzdglw3ml5jhkswkzqs7vt6f0nssrw2cn5 dredmann666 mainly rock and metal, today was a Kreator playlist but once in a while I listen to ADHD podcasts npub1g8rdqsvdks68jfzg5xcw4c5kzzdglw3ml5jhkswkzqs7vt6f0nssrw2cn5 dredmann666 Another step forward in my recovery from copd and preparation for upcoming half marathons in Athens and Gothenburg and an easy pace effort with a few strides to end with #running #halfmarathontraining #coros #runchat #runnersofmastodon npub1g8rdqsvdks68jfzg5xcw4c5kzzdglw3ml5jhkswkzqs7vt6f0nssrw2cn5 dredmann666 Had to spend last weekend in hospital due to a bad COPD attack and running had to take a back seat for a while so my first tentative steps out the door this afternoon, just a slow jog round the block with plenty jeffing involved. My mind says I can go better but my body says errm I don’t think so 🤣 #running #recoveryrun #runnersofmastodon npub1g8rdqsvdks68jfzg5xcw4c5kzzdglw3ml5jhkswkzqs7vt6f0nssrw2cn5 dredmann666 yes I know but for just 160m so does it count 😁😉 npub1g8rdqsvdks68jfzg5xcw4c5kzzdglw3ml5jhkswkzqs7vt6f0nssrw2cn5 dredmann666 Half Marathon Training. Wk 5, Day 2. 2 Mile Warm Up + 5 x 480m easy with 160m Pick Ups.

Definitely a lot to improve on #running #10krun #corosrunning #runnersofmastodon #RunningCommunity npub1g8rdqsvdks68jfzg5xcw4c5kzzdglw3ml5jhkswkzqs7vt6f0nssrw2cn5 dredmann666 first chance of a run since the weekend and a trip to the gym for some more base building km’s #running #easyrunning #adidasrunning #corosrunning #runchat #runnersofmastodon #RunningCommunity npub1g8rdqsvdks68jfzg5xcw4c5kzzdglw3ml5jhkswkzqs7vt6f0nssrw2cn5 dredmann666 Coffee always tastes better with a dash of milk 😉😉 #coffee #milk #bourbon #elijahcraig npub1g8rdqsvdks68jfzg5xcw4c5kzzdglw3ml5jhkswkzqs7vt6f0nssrw2cn5 dredmann666 impressive volume of distance, if I break 200km I feel I’ve achieved greatness 😁 npub1g8rdqsvdks68jfzg5xcw4c5kzzdglw3ml5jhkswkzqs7vt6f0nssrw2cn5 dredmann666 A nice relaxed 5k recovery run, kept things slow and easy today, just giving the legs some turnover #running #recoveryrun #easyrun #5krun #corosrunning #runnersofmastodon #RunningCommunity npub1g8rdqsvdks68jfzg5xcw4c5kzzdglw3ml5jhkswkzqs7vt6f0nssrw2cn5 dredmann666 Mixing things up and out for my long run today, an easy ish pace zone 2 run with a few added hill sprints to spice things up #running #longrun #saturdaylongrun #corosrunning #runnersofmastodon #RunningCommunity npub1g8rdqsvdks68jfzg5xcw4c5kzzdglw3ml5jhkswkzqs7vt6f0nssrw2cn5 dredmann666 Treadmill running today, 5 minutes warm up and cool down with 4 miles/6.5 km easy paced zone 2 run. Felt a whole lot better today, breathing in control and hr a little high but will put that down to the temperature in the gym #running #treadmillrunning #corosrunning #runningcommunity #runnersofmastodon npub1g8rdqsvdks68jfzg5xcw4c5kzzdglw3ml5jhkswkzqs7vt6f0nssrw2cn5 dredmann666 Not really feeling it on today’s run, 40 minutes with 20 At 10k pace. Unable to keep to the desired pace and keep breathing in the right place so had to compromise and run a little slower than originally planned #running #temporunning #corosrunning #runnersofmastodon #runningcommunity npub1g8rdqsvdks68jfzg5xcw4c5kzzdglw3ml5jhkswkzqs7vt6f0nssrw2cn5 dredmann666 just 5k today, was planning a little longer but copd playing up so breathing not too clever and didn’t want to strain myself too much as I’m hoping I can still manage some kind of long run tomorrow #running #slowrunning #corosrunning #runnersofmastodon #RunningCommunity npub1g8rdqsvdks68jfzg5xcw4c5kzzdglw3ml5jhkswkzqs7vt6f0nssrw2cn5 dredmann666 thank you 😊 npub1g8rdqsvdks68jfzg5xcw4c5kzzdglw3ml5jhkswkzqs7vt6f0nssrw2cn5 dredmann666 Birthday run today, thought I’d see what a 61 year old body can do. 15 minutes warm up then 5k threshold run didn’t go all out but well happy with the results 5k in 26:15 minutes at 5:15 min/km 170 bpm average, 181 bpm max. #running #thresholdrunning #corosrunning #runnersofmastodon npub1g8rdqsvdks68jfzg5xcw4c5kzzdglw3ml5jhkswkzqs7vt6f0nssrw2cn5 dredmann666 Not saying today was a disaster as every run has a purpose but running 6 minute intervals in this hot weather wasn’t the best idea. Planned on running 6 intervals but just about managed even with a 3 minute walk rest. #running #intervals #adidasrunning #runnersofmastodon #RunningCommunity npub1g8rdqsvdks68jfzg5xcw4c5kzzdglw3ml5jhkswkzqs7vt6f0nssrw2cn5 dredmann666 oh yes! Having a super awesome day 😎 npub1g8rdqsvdks68jfzg5xcw4c5kzzdglw3ml5jhkswkzqs7vt6f0nssrw2cn5 dredmann666 Tempo intervals was on the plan for today’s run for a 10k race in two weeks time. 30 minutes warm up, 4.43km at 6:43 min/km, 6x5 minutes at 5:36 min/km average and 10 minutes cool down, 1.34 km at 7:28 min/km. max hr 176 bpm average 156 bpm #running #temporunning #tempointervals #polarrunning #runnersofmastodon npub1g8rdqsvdks68jfzg5xcw4c5kzzdglw3ml5jhkswkzqs7vt6f0nssrw2cn5 dredmann666 A nice and easy out and back 40 minutes to start the running week #running #easyrunning #polarrunning #runchat #runnersofmastodon #RunningCommunity npub1g8rdqsvdks68jfzg5xcw4c5kzzdglw3ml5jhkswkzqs7vt6f0nssrw2cn5 dredmann666 hahaha no it isn’t, that would have been during the few strides for the last 5 minutes 😉 npub1g8rdqsvdks68jfzg5xcw4c5kzzdglw3ml5jhkswkzqs7vt6f0nssrw2cn5 dredmann666 60 minutes easy pace running was the plan for this morning and managed to keep within pace zone 2 for practically the whole run apart from a 10 minute warm up and running a few strides to finish off the workout #running #easyrunning #polarrunning #strides #runnersofmastodon #runningcommunity npub1g8rdqsvdks68jfzg5xcw4c5kzzdglw3ml5jhkswkzqs7vt6f0nssrw2cn5 dredmann666 First time out running for 4 weeks. Thought it was time to check on my knee/hamstring to see whether the latest batch of strength work has paid off. Kept pace as consistent as possible which meant heart rate a little higher than anticipated. The main thing no pain #running #comebackrun #runnersofmastodon #oldguysrule npub1g8rdqsvdks68jfzg5xcw4c5kzzdglw3ml5jhkswkzqs7vt6f0nssrw2cn5 dredmann666 no just a local street in the UK near where I live npub1g8rdqsvdks68jfzg5xcw4c5kzzdglw3ml5jhkswkzqs7vt6f0nssrw2cn5 dredmann666 Catching the last of the sun as it drops below the horizon. #sunsets #eveningsunset #streetscape #iphonephotography #iphone15photography npub1g8rdqsvdks68jfzg5xcw4c5kzzdglw3ml5jhkswkzqs7vt6f0nssrw2cn5 dredmann666 Took a walk to the local gym, which is only 10 minutes away for some treadmill running and strength training. 30 minute run with 15 minutes at tempo keeping hr below 170 bpm as much as possible then some work on my quads and calfs followed by some squats, glute bridges and russian twists #running #temporunning #treadmillrunning #gymfitness #strengthtraining #polarrunning #therunningcommunity #oldguysrule npub1g8rdqsvdks68jfzg5xcw4c5kzzdglw3ml5jhkswkzqs7vt6f0nssrw2cn5 dredmann666 Horns up for today’s run! Managed an hour today and knee/hamstring felt better than previous. Now I need to build up strength and aerobic base up again as fitness was waned understandably. Anyway best foot forward as they say…. #running #60minuterun #adidasrunning #adizeroboston12 #therunningcommunity #oldguysrule npub1g8rdqsvdks68jfzg5xcw4c5kzzdglw3ml5jhkswkzqs7vt6f0nssrw2cn5 dredmann666 Tempo running today and checking on how my knee is coping with a slightly faster pace which as expected was slower than it’s been for a while and heart rate pushing towards threshold zone. Pain still there but now more bearable but doubt any longer run at a higher pace might be too much at the moment #running #temporunning #polarrunning #10krunning #therunningcommunity #runnersofmastodon #oldguysrule
