That Running Scot

Thanks, yeah I’ll definitely I’ll be making them longer. I was thinking a tad faster too as that’s what I normally do.

Today’s run was one suggested by my watch and I thought I’d give it a go.

Some midweek VO2 max sprints today. I felt it went well.

At the end my watch only said it was a tempo benefit rather than VO2 Max. Next time I think the intervals need to be faster or longer.

My watch suggested a recovery run today that turned out to be a Zone 2 run. I don’t do these typically as I don’t believe I have enough weekly mileage to justify them. But hey, I’m now part of the trend for a day 😄

Thanks, and likewise good luck with the rest of your training too. Also race day!

I just need to get the painful August training over with and I can begin tapering…definitely looking forward to that stage 😆

A challenging threshold run today to start the running week and I felt it went well.

Whoa 100 miles 😲, well done 👍

Week 9 of my marathon training plan completed.

A very productive week I’ve had, managed to reach 54.1 miles (87.1km) smashing my 50mile target.

Shows the power of a rest week that you come back stronger 💪

Yeah that’s true, it’s just one of the VO2max variants that i do, I saw it on therunningchannel. Plus just after the warmup I do 3km at half marathon pace so that drains me a bit before I start the VO2max intervals they are more difficult.

Thanks 🙏

Awesome

Yeah I don’t eat this type of food often, otherwise you don’t appreciate it. It’s just a treat post Sunday run. I generally eat healthily. Quality of the fuel for your body is important. A sugary treat is just to keep your sanity 😁

What have I signed myself up for? A very difficult long run today 17.2 miles, definitely long enough not to trust a fart 💨

I had delicious home-made brownies waiting for me at home, add on some custard with a cold glass of lemonade for recovery 😁

Did you pop in there afterwards? 🙃 it must have been tempting

That’s hot 🔥

Love the sound of the slap on your 🍑

10kg loss well done 👏

Wow that’s quite a wander. Monumental effort, congrats 🙌

A simple base run today, nothing special about it.

Looking back at July’s run total, I managed a total 184.5miles (296.92 km)

Looks good I’ll give it a go, with your modified instruction of a chocolate slab of course 😆

That’s great, shoes last a lot longer than they think. Yeah I’m aiming for 1,000 miles too, halfway there already. I’m almost there with my Nike Pegasus turbos, and they have plenty left in them

I’m back with it today and that’s the first run of the month done 👊 Tomorrow I will enter the peak phase of my marathon block, so more difficult runs to follow.

I wore my Nike Vaporfly’s today, looking great for 915km / 569 miles on them 😉

Hope it repairs soon and you’re all good for marathon day

All the best for your race this weekend 🙌

Well done, so close to your sub 1:40, but it’s as good as 🙌

Yeah bring on the weekend 😁

Yeah I just thought to myself, just get on with it. Once you get going for a bit, it ain’t so bad.

Yeah I think the forecast is better tomorrow. I can’t complain too much about today’s rain, it’s made it cooler which is refreshing.

I had no motivation today, just tired and fed up, it’s one of those days. Today’s workout intention was an easy run with sprints.

It has been raining all day, but managed to time a 1 hour slot that was dry enough to get this workout done.

Just a simple base run today. Was tough to get going after yesterday’s workout.
