Wen, Morning stroll.
Ran with the Collie (12k, concrete road, some track) and then returned to take my mums elderly terrier for her 2k walk. Clearly the pair of them have had a disagreement overnight. They still are not talking after breakfast.
mlawton, Awful run. Humid ++ and none of my body parts wanted to work together. Dead legs, lungs that couldn’t keep up with such a slow pace, and profuse sweating that couldn’t evaporate. Had to walk often to keep my HR down.
It’s fine. I’m not happy about it, but the next one will be better. Mentally crumple this one up and throw it away. Big fat whatever… #Running
mlawton, @WTL can we just fast forward to autumn? I know both you and I dislike the heat and humidity. Let’s get back to cooler weather.
WTL, @mlawton Yes, let’s. I want to get back to gleefully running in snow!
mlawton, Finished “What I Talk About When I Talk About Running” by Haruki Murakami. Heavily recommend by my friends in #Running & justifiably so because it’s absolutely brilliant.
For me, Murakami’s writing on the mental aspects of running surfaced so many latent thoughts I had but hadn’t yet been able to articulate.
It’s also a treatise on aging and decline, as he copes with his diminishing performances. 5/5 stars
Lee6, @mlawton cheers mate - that’s my next listen 👂
mlawton, @Lee6 it’s really good, particularly the first half. And the audiobook narrator, Ray Porter, is excellent. You’ll enjoy it too, I feel sure!
koalie, Here’s how my “global #running day” 5K jogging will play out:
First minute and a half:
Wow, I feel great, I bet I can run a 10K!This is going to be FUN! 🤪Immediately followed by:
Jesus, how long has it been? 🥵At 2K:
Ok! Nearly halfway. You can do it.At 3.8K:
Why am I doing this to myself? 😩The last kilometer:
checks distance every 200 meters or soAt 5K:
Finally! #fitness acquired! Take that, reformed couch potato! 💪
koalie, @BonehouseWasps thank you from a reluctant but driven runner!
cyberbaloo, French @koalie Bravo !!!!

WTL, @neutronwrangler Don't know if I'd call that slacking.
WTL, Tuesday:
84 seconds of plank,
Walked @TAV and Sprocket to the dock in the park
7.54km of #running (20°C, with a Humidex of 24°C)
11 minutes Yoga for runners
20 minutes of HIIT
20 minutes Strength training
10 minutes Mindful CooldownChanged the order today as it's already oppressively hot out for me. I’m wrecked by the end of the workouts. Starting with the running really burns me out.
This week trying two days running, one cycling (tomorrow), and two more running. 🤞🏻

Let me start. I have been there for many years. Training was an easy way to sedate myself.
How about you?#running #trailrunning #ultrarunning

Wen, Afternoon run
Needing to get out and lose the troubles for a couple of hours we ran past Harestanes and up to the Waterloo memorial, road and tracks, woods and open road, 18.5k and warm.
BUT, with St Mary's dairy on the way home, we paused to grab one of their freshly made and superlative honeycomb ice creams.
I thought of you @Lee6 as we ate them 🍨🤣

StarkSequence, Advice for someone just starting #running ?
ronald, @StarkSequence run slower than you think needed, and only build up 10% over time each run.
mlawton, @StarkSequence all the replies so far are excellent. Running slowly, at conversational capable pace, is the key to building a base fitness that will allow easy growth. It requires patience, but it absolutely works.
Also, everyone is different and everything is relative. Run for yourself and don't get bogged down in comparisons to others.
Post here often: we celebrate successes & help each other through struggles. This is an affirming group of wonderful people. You're now part of it!

#running #run #trailrunning #Baltimore #maryland #photography #SilentSunsday
NadiaPurge, @renwillis are we running toward or away, friend?
renwillis, @NadiaPurge Straight at my feelings!
benjaminrivers, My usual #running route is 5.7KM. I do this twice a week. It was taking me about 46 minutes a month ago, and now I'm down to juuuust under 39 minutes.
Happy with the progress.
WTL, @benjaminrivers 🎉Well done!
Wen, Aye wull
That is my pot stirring done for the morning. Now to get out with the dug for a longish (26k run) before it gets too hot. I always find it remarkable and refreshing that I can say that in Scotland - even in June!
MarvinFreeman, Running Channel: Sophie Power Sets Incredible New Record For Running The Length Of Ireland
https://therunningchannel.com/sophie-power-fastest-woman-to-run-length-of-ireland/
WTL, @MarvinFreeman I absolutely marvel at some people’s abilities to run like this.
sebastianhahn, Wet, wet, wet. At one point during the run I wanted to jump over a branch lying across the path in the woods. Unfortunately, the ground was so soggy, my left foot which was pushing me off the ground just slipped back. My right foot got tangled up in the branch. A second later I found myself lying flat on the floor. Yuck! Apart from that it was a good run. After Trump‘s conviction in NY yesterday, I skipped my audiobook and took a dive into my MSNBC podcasts. #Running #applewatchultra2 #rain
mlawton, @sebastianhahn if it can't be avoided, I hope you find some joy in it. Sometimes I think it's fun to be in really messy conditions... after the first good soaking is over with, that is. Until I've recovered from that initial moment, I'd rather go back home. After, can't get any wetter, so as long as I'm warm enough... let's go!
WTL, @sebastianhahn I don't think you'd like that. Just let the stunt double do the falls for you. 🤣

recollir, May month is in the books: 510km and 10630m of EG including the Rennsteiglauf 74km race last weekend. Happy and satisfied how the race and the month turned out.
Realized that I passed 2500km and 55000m of EG for the year.
Really glad how EG is evolving. 🏔️🐐
moelholm, @recollir mind blowing numbers 🤯 - just amazing. You are a true ultra champion Mr Federico 😎👌🏼👏🏻
recollir, @moelholm everyone is a champion here. in there own way. distance wise we have other heroes here.
UrsaAshBear, Well....that just happened.
WTL, @UrsaAshBear 🎉 Congratulations!
riaschissl, As in many other areas in Europe, it was really pouring down here in the mountains today and I wasn't sure if I should venture out 🌧️🌧️🌧️ But in the end I took advantage of a brief rain-free slot and ran my usual 15km/600m EG
The small streams in the forest have a lot more water than normal and even my Salomon GoreTex shoes were completely wet by the end. But it was absolutely perfect for #running at around 10°C
#garmin #beatyesterday #TrailRunning @running #Tirol #RunnersOfMastodon #Laufen
recollir, @riaschissl Nice. Well done. @running
recollir, Change of plans today. Hoped to be able to sneak out and back in before the 🌩️🌩️🌩️ and visit my favorite trail hills. But as I leave the house I see the dark clouds and make the immediate decision to stay on the neighborhood hill for some scrambling and speed hiking. In case I need to “evacuate rapidly” (don’t want to be on the trails with lightning). Managed to do 5km and 324m of EG before I saw a few⚡️not too far away. #trailrunning #running #meteorology
s1m0n4, I knew that running the morning after circuit training wasn't such a good idea.
This week brought a lot more NEET than usual. As a result my training involved fewer sessions too, though I didn't skip circuit training yesterday evening.
So I set out for a long run, because I didn't run on Tuesday and I won't have time on Sunday either, but I couldn't even reach 8 km before my legs and my mind gave up.
Splits [km, pace, elevation] 1 6:24 2 6:31 3 6:38 4 6:23 5 6:28 6 6:22 7 6:22 8 6:35

WTL,
mlawton, @s1m0n4 To look at your splits, you wouldn't even know it was a struggle. Good things still happened, even if there is a damper on the run at large.
obrien_kat, Thought I might not get this run in, as my neck is acting up more than usual with it getting more hot and humid. But it ended up being one of my faster runs this month.
#running #runnersofmastodon #barcelona
mlawton, @obrien_kat runs that go completely positive, against all expectations, are the absolute best. 👏
tnhh, Good morning #running
