Running thread

Nice 6k at 8am this morning.

Steady pace and stayed under 140bpm.

Feel nice and "calm" now :)

Feels great doesn’t it? So much better than busting a gut!

Haven't been to this thread in a while as I didn't want to annoy myself. I've had to stay in for 2 weeks after coming back to Ireland from Manchester. Only 6 days to go until I can get going again but not looking forward to that first run......

Did 5 miles this morning round Sale water park after swimming a mile and half, pace was 8:20 per mile on average and heart rate was around 160 on average... was still bloody warm and wanted to get back in the lake when I’d finished running!!

What brand compression top do you wear? I had Karrimor but found them to be too short

last night I ended up doing a near 7k and chucking on my Columbia cagoule incase it rained. It didnt.

Day of rest today i think

UA top's are great - long on sleeve but like that in winter to cover knuckles. :)

15 minute run today at a slow arse pace

 

[Pezzer2]

8 mile run yesterday at low intensity. 10 mins per mile and heart rate just under the anaerobic threshold . Changed my route and really enjoyed my run, running at a slower speed I didn’t suffer from the heat.
HIIt session today along with weights and I’ll do a slow paced 5 miler in the morning .

Unless its winter or below about 5 deg C, its pointless wearing a water proof for shorter runs (less than 5 miles), Even more stupid in this weather. You'll boil and get wetter with the sweat than the rain. How often do you see a football match with the players wearing raincoats?

true, very true. used to run in a sweatsuit.

Compression tops are not meant to be giving. I'm a 38-40 chest and wear a medium. They are meant to be skin tight all over or they wouldn't be doing their job of cooling your body / wicking sweat away. I wear a UA vanish tee over the top. They are bloody brilliant running tops btw.

Tried this running with my heart rate between 130-140, average pace was 10.2 mins per mile. First time I've ever done it and had to walk up some of the hills to keep the HR below 140. Didn't feel natural but was obviously a lot easier. Usually run at around 8 mins per mile so was quite a bit slower. Is it likely that my speed will start to increase over time or am I stuck at this pace forever? Do people mix it up with a weekly faster run?

Not posted for while as just been plodding along 3 5ks a week, usually around 30 mins, sometimes struggling to go further. This morning decided to mix it up a bit so ran 8 mins, walked 2. Ended going over 4 miles in under 50 mins and felt ok

The length on the arms is long. When normally worn it's almost to my knuckles. Length of waist bit goes over half the arse cheek. Haha

You should find that you are able to run faster within the same HR as time passes.
I mix it up with sprint intervals twice a week.

Sounds like your tops are the issue.. what you running in?
