running 51:10 [3] 10.5 km (4:52 / km)
shoes: Kayano 25

Final run for the Kayanos. They have now done more than 1000km and over 100 session. Contimplated the cost of running shoes during the run this morning. I normally nly buy them on special, but the Kayanos still cost about $160 - $180. That makes it about 16c/km or $1.60 per run. Compare that with a set of tyres for the car, which are about 3c/km

running 54:00 [3] 11.5 km (4:42 / km)
shoes: Nike Zoom Fly knit cream

Solid run around the park and canal in Riga. Having a weekend away.

Checked out the infamous door yesterday. Interestingly it was open and being used by tourists and tour guides. Same today. Once inside it is very obvious you can only go one way, whichever direction you go through. The stairs leading up are gated off.

Friday Aug 23, 2019 #

running 49:20 [3] 10.2 km (4:50 / km)
shoes: Kayano 25

Loop around Hyde Park and streets in Mayfair.

A long weekend coming up and the weather looks set to be really pleasant. According to the locals they are set for a heatwave. But the local definition is pretty soft, 3 days in a row above 28.

running 37:50 [3] 8.0 km (4:44 / km)
shoes: Nike zoom fly knit grey

Nice run around St James Park and the Palace, with a bit of a detour. A bit quicker than I had expected.

Had a small detour around a crime scene at the top end of the Palace grounds. The police had taped off the road on the south side of the Hyde Park corner round about. There were numerous police cars, an ambulance and a "tent" on the edge of the road covering what I presume was a body. They had completely blocked the section of road and traffic was being diverted down and around Buckinghuge Palace. A detour of about three kms for drivers who might just have been wanting to go around the roundabout. Had to go accross the road and arond the north side of the roundabout then back through Green Park.

Exercise session 20:00 [3]

Gym session

Wednesday Aug 21, 2019 #

running 48:50 [3] 10.1 km (4:50 / km)

Tuesday Aug 20, 2019 #

running 30:10 [3] 6.2 km (4:52 / km)
shoes: Nike Zoom Fly knit cream

Gym session.

Monday Aug 19, 2019 #

running 40:10 [3] 8.4 km (4:47 / km)
shoes: Nike zoom fly knit grey

Had one of those annoying mornings where things were rearranged to suit an early appointment that then went pearshaped. Out early and limited the session to a run, so I could make an early VYC. Arrived at main buildin in plenty of time, but the system doesn't start until 8 on a Monday morning. Not sure who programmed it, but why is the computer system not opertional before 8? Had to ring and get let in "early", then the VTC didn't want to work properly. Finally gor going about 20 minutes late.
Frustrating.

Sunday Aug 18, 2019 #

running 59:30 [3] 12.5 km (4:46 / km)
shoes: Nike Zoom Fly knit cream

Along the river to tower bridge and back. It is a pleasant Sunday run, and fairly popular.

Friday Aug 16, 2019 #

running 48:40 [3] 10.0 km (4:52 / km)
shoes: Nike Zoom Fly knit cream

A bit tired and stiff this morning. A couple of different exercises in the gym on Wednesday the likely culprit. Loosened up OK once I got going.

Thursday Aug 15, 2019 #

running 50:20 [3] 10.5 km (4:48 / km)
shoes: Kayano 25

Around Hyde Park.

Wednesday Aug 14, 2019 #

Exercise session 30:00 [3]

Was going to go to the evening event, but the train system conspired against me. Trains are usually every 3 or 4 minutes. This evening waited 20 minutes for a train, and then it was so full you couldn’t get on. The next one was another 15 minutes. Gave up and went home to the gym. Apparently a signal failure and the rain caused massive disruption.

Tuesday Aug 13, 2019 #

Exercise session 30:00 [3]

Late night again, so skipped the run and settled for a gym session

Monday Aug 12, 2019 #

running 40:30 [4] 8.4 km (4:49 / km) +100m 4:33 / km
shoes: Nike zoom fly knit grey

First part of the run was reasonably flat, but then all the climb came at once in the form of a 1k hill average of 10%, but with some bits close to 15%. The return was a bit easier.

Sunday Aug 11, 2019 #

running 18:40 [3] 4.0 km (4:40 / km)
shoes: Nike zoom fly knit grey

This was reasonably short after all the walking

walk 2:30:00 [3] 13.0 km (11:32 / km) +300m 10:21 / km

Fishing in the Scottish highlands. Walked in from the road and around the loch. Some of the most spectacular scenery I have seen, and well worth the walk. Walking was tough, basically knee high heather and very wet under foot.
Managed to catch a couple of fish as a bonus

Friday Aug 9, 2019 #

running 47:20 [3] 10.0 km (4:44 / km)
shoes: Nike Zoom Fly knit cream

A bit slower at the start, followed by a solid middle section, then eased off for the last k.
Overall was faster than I anticipated.

Thursday Aug 8, 2019 #

running 35:10 [3] 7.1 km (4:57 / km)
shoes: Kayano 25

Loop around St James Park. A bit sluggish this morning after a bit of a disturbed night with whatsapp traffic following birth of first grand child.

Noticed how heavy and hard the kayanos seemed compared to the flyknits. The kayanos are getting old and nearly ready for retirement, but the flyknits are a much softer bouncy feel, even the older pair.

Exercise session 20:00 [3]

Wednesday Aug 7, 2019 #

running 49:30 [3] 10.2 km (4:51 / km)
shoes: Nike zoom fly knit grey

Regents Park.
Could easily have turned the alarm off this morning an stayed in bed, after a 1 am phone call, but rolled my way through the run, which felt OK

Tuesday Aug 6, 2019 #

running 36:20 [3] 7.4 km (4:55 / km)
shoes: Nike Zoom Fly knit cream

St James Park and green park. A bit sluggush to stat with, and slowed at the end, but the middle was really solid.

Exercise session 20:00 [3]

Gym session. Swapped the training days around this week, so only 2 gym sessions

Monday Aug 5, 2019 #

running 44:10 [3] 9.1 km (4:51 / km)

Sunday Aug 4, 2019 #

running 1:00:40 [3] 12.6 km (4:49 / km) +50m 4:43 / km
shoes: Nike Zoom Fly knit cream

Circuitous route through Regents Park to Primrose Hill and back. Flat until Primrose Hill Park, and flat back, all the climb was in the loops around the hill. Managed it better than I thought I might, but should try and do some hill sprints occasionally

Friday Aug 2, 2019 #

running 37:40 [3] 7.6 km (4:57 / km)
shoes: Nike zoom fly knit grey
