6 AM

run 31:17 6.51 km (4:48 / km) +49m 4:38 / km
ahr:138 max:175 shoes: Brooks Adrenaline 20

Very slow jog down to parkrun followed by a tempo-ish effort that happened to be about 40 sec faster than my PB on this course. Felt much easier than the last couple of these that I’ve tried in, despite high humidity. Must be getting fitter or something.
Strangely, had a good ole allergic reaction immediately on finishing, with some big lumps on my face. Bit strange given that I hadn’t eaten anything since dinner last night. Will need to monitor.
Because of that, just walked home with an itchy head.

run 40:17 8.17 km (4:56 / km) +33m 4:50 / km
ahr:134 max:151 shoes: Brooks Adrenaline 20

Another new (for me) with the RRR. Triangle roads loop or something like that. I did the 3km extension which probably ruins the triangle. Felt cruisy except when a few guys decided to accelerate up a couple of rolling hills. Calves were a tiny bit grumpy by the end, so hopefully will settle quickly.

Note

Was meant to ride, but spent a couple of hours in 38 degree heat trying to remove the bolt of doom from the back of my car. Had to settle for cutting the head off it with a blunt hacksaw blade.

Will stick to my plans for an easy week next week after doing my 2 longest recent runs with only one day off between them. My knees were complaining a bit on Saturday afternoon.

run 1:04:23 11.79 km (5:28 / km) +117m 5:12 / km
ahr:125 max:150 shoes: Brooks Adrenaline 20

Fun little jog around an approximation of a Suburbrun loop, starting and finishing from home. Only issue was right near the end, where one road on the map is a small path through the middle of a private school.
Light drizzle made the temperature nicer than normal, but didn’t help the inkjet printed paper map :)

6 AM

run 53:02 10.01 km (5:18 / km) +54m 5:10 / km
ahr:127 max:145 shoes: Brooks Adrenaline 20

First 10km run in quite a while.
Generally felt pretty good. Certainly could have kept going except for the need to get ready for work.
Left knee slightly achey at the start, mild panic about 60% of the way round, when I wasn’t sure how far from home I was or the best way to get there, but a quick google and it all worked out pretty well.

6 AM

run 42:40 8.06 km (5:18 / km) +50m 5:08 / km
ahr:121 max:142 shoes: Brooks Adrenaline 20

Thought I’d try the novel idea of running before work. (Didn’t run yesterday as not willing to try 2 days in a row yet).
Felt less terrible than expected once I made it out the door.

Sunday Feb 14, 2021 #

7 AM

run race (RRR Kershaw Gardens) 24:54 6.01 km (4:08 / km) +2m 4:08 / km
ahr:135 max:152 shoes: Brooks Adrenaline 20

2x3km laps of a flat course around Kershaw gardens.
Was aiming to hold 4:15/km, but as always started too fast . When the second km was the same pace as the first, it just became a case of hold on as well as possible and see what happens.
Always nice to run better than expected.
HR data very strange today.

5 PM

run 39:11 8.12 km (4:50 / km) +12m 4:48 / km
ahr:134 max:162 shoes: Brooks Adrenaline 20

Another RRR loop except that I missed a turn and added some extra distance on at the end too.
Felt quite good pushing a little harder in the middle without feeling like I was killing myself.

Have the chance to ‘race’ 6km on Sunday. That will probably be quite depressing, but likely to have a crack anyway.

3 PM

run 47:14 8.12 km (5:49 / km) +124m 5:24 / km
ahr:130 max:140 shoes: Brooks Adrenaline 20

Yesterday’s planned run on the Zamia trail. A few more cobwebs than I would have preferred, and the breeze was a bit lost in the valley, but still quite enjoyable, even if it was quite slow.
Felt harder than HR suggests, probably not helped by the hard ride last night.

Zwift 17:29 [3] 8.28 km (2:07 / km) +158m 1:56 / km
shoes: Avanti Blade

Warm up for TdZ.
Replacement for running today as it’s about 37 degrees, 85+ percent humidity and there’s LOTS of lightning around.

5 PM

Zwift 41:48 [4] 21.76 km (1:55 / km) +179m 1:51 / km
shoes: Avanti Blade

Tour de Zwift group ride, C division. Had a few people around to draft off for most of it. Hardest I’ve worked on a bike for a long time.

Saturday Feb 6, 2021 #

7 AM

run 34:25 6.47 km (5:19 / km) +47m 5:08 / km
ahr:138 max:159 shoes: Brooks Adrenaline 20

Fairly cruisy parkrun (especially the first half) with a bit of a cooldown jog adter.

Thursday Feb 4, 2021 #

5 PM

run 42:35 8.26 km (5:09 / km) +2m 5:09 / km
ahr:138 max:172 shoes: Brooks Adrenaline 20

Followed some guys on an extension of the club run. It was a slightly longer extension than I realised. Stopped and walked for a bit with a young bloke that also ran the extension but blew up and turned around early.

run 8:15 1.45 km (5:40 / km) +2m 5:38 / km
ahr:129 max:135 shoes: Brooks Adrenaline 20

Then got jogging again to get home.

Zwift 1:01:00 [3] 32.38 km (1:53 / km) +191m 1:50 / km
shoes: Avanti Blade

Blob on the bike watching Monty Python’s Holy Grail on Netflix. Still only exercising rather than training, but that’s a step up on most of last year.

4 PM

run 38:31 6.41 km (6:00 / km) +74m 5:41 / km
ahr:128 max:153 shoes: Brooks Adrenaline 20

Couldn’t be bothered waiting till 5:30 to run the same boring loop with RRR, so headed to the carpark for the MTB trails and headed out from there. Tried to stick to the Zamia walking trail, which apparently doesn’t start where I did. Took a wrong turn up a fire trail between two MTB tracks that just stopped suddenly.
Sooooo good to run on trails though. Will definitely be back. Could be exploring for quite a while.
Rolled my left ankle to even things up.
