I've always ignored the heart rate zones and just go off how I'm feeling (mainly because Garmin says that 80% of my runs are in zone 5!).
Yesterday I ran 11k at 4:37/km and my average was 167 bpm. Didn't feel any discomfort when running and my breathing was good.
I've tried running below 140 once and I was almost walking!

Not really sure why that is. I noticed we both got similar times in the 10k.

The following day I went on a recovery run 10k, ran it fully in Zones 1/2/3 in a time of 53:22 minutes.

5k this morning in 24:08 again exactly same as last week on same route, felt tired today though, maybe after effect of AZ jab on Tuesday.
54 mile bike ride planned for tomorrow.... hope it’s reasonably flat!!!

I'm going to try and take it easy with a long run this weekend and see how it compares.
I only get out 2 or 3 times a week so always feel like I have to make an extra effort.

Not sure I’ll be running tomorrow after the 55.5 miles done on the bike, brutal winds at times and I’ve an arse in utter agony after 6 months not being on the bike!! Amazed I managed that far as comfortably as I did but my mate picked the route and in for a penny and all that... see how the legs feel tomorrow morning.

Going to attempt a 15 km run in the morning , really think it’s a huge jump a 10km one last week to a half marathon in a month , but hey ho I will give it a go

 

[BlueHammer85]

I’m gonna half marathon it tommorow.
been slacking last few weeks.

A gentle 5k in the end today, hilly route in the Clough plus yesterday on the bike meant no legs. Just slowly round in 30 minutes... better than nothing I suppose. Get up to 10 miles complete next weekend ready for the BMVHM week after.

I'm wrecked after having the covid vaccine yesterday. My arm is hurting. I have a funny temperature, muscle aches and headache.

The longer than normal trail run yesterday and the extra bottle of beer last night aren't helping though !

 

[Rammy Blue]

Had a nice varied weekend, did a 10mile walk yesterday over some serious terrain, and then done hill sprints in the shitty weather this morning.

Back to 7 a side tomorrow, god help me.

 

[The Salford lad.]

Well I did it , had my doubts but did 15 km in just over 90 minutes , 2 weeks until the half marathon and I need to up it another 6 km .... can’t be that hard can it lol

My plans to do a long one today have been scuppered by a horrible hangover. Was supposed to be a quiet and early to bed and ended up a 3am session.

Hope you feel better soon mate. It knocked me out for a few days.

If anyone is having doubts about running in the bad weather (have you got this bad weather in Manchester today?), then just do it!

Went out and ran a half marathon in preparation for the 11th. Stupidly went down to the beach and the first 2k (My slowest Ks of the 21) were run into 50 mile winds and accompanying sand being whipped up.

Legs felt dead from that moment on, but digged in to finish 1:41:17.

How do you find the Asics Stu?? Never ran in those before.

I've been using Asics for at least 15 years when their stability shoes were recommended to me by a podiatrist. I've tried loads of other shoes over the years but, as an over-pronator, I always come back to the Asics GT 2000 and 4000.

Definitely my favourite distance
