Today was a target pace run for 15 mins (and an optional extra 5 mins) with 15 min warm up / cool down. The target pace was 7:28 - 7:48 and I ran the first interval (15 mins) at 7:30 and the second (5 mins) at 7:38. I was pretty pleased with this but Garmin gave me a 62% (average) execution score 🤔 …
Good morning, #Fediverse! Had a relaxed 6.66k run (🤘🏻😉🤘🏻) to start the day. And bumped into one of my favorite neighbors, Oso (bear) a sweet Pyrenean Mountain Dog who’s a veritable walking teddy bear 😍
Nice and easy recovery day today. I’ve been trying the Apple Fitness+ “Time to run” workouts and I really like them. My only beef sometimes is the music selection. I know they have to go for the widest slice of their potential users, but I really wish they had some heavier tracks instead of just generic pop. On the plus side, since I’m not into the music it kinda becomes white noise with a beat, so I get less distracted during my run. Win some, lose some I guess 😅
This is a route I’ve been meaning to run for some time now. It’s largely “out and back” which I’m not really a fan of, but having driven out to the convent (La Gañanía en La Almoraima) for lunch yesterday, I was struck by how pretty it was.
Cardio is definitely improving, which is great to see. Target VO₂ max is 50, currently at 47.
I’m wondering if I might finally be leaving behind whatever it was that has messed with my energy levels (aftermath of flu / Covid?) but it’s taken weeks. So, if that is the case, it’s good news!
Good morning and happy pre-Friday, #Fediverse! A nice 7k run to start the day, with a rare appearance of the Iztaccíhautl (sleeping maiden) volcano on the horizon 😁
