Official time - 4:29:58 🥳
Pain in quad tendon after 23km, calves wanted to cramp from 28km onwards but that ultimate target of a 4:30 finish was NOT slipping away from me 😮💨

Easy 11.5km today in lovely 24°C 🌞 the few shady areas were very welcome 🥵 got a bit carried away in kms 9&10, just felt comfortable and enjoyable 🤷♂️👌
16km run in the books for tomorrow 😍🏃

Been a week of feeling awful on a lot of runs, or just not enjoying it, and that's normal, but the grind continues.
It's been a really rough week mentally as well, but today's long run has made my week 🙌😍
Now to sit back and enjoy the football season kicking off 😍

Had to skip the long run yesterday so got it done this afternoon.
Happy with the pretty consistent pacing, and decided to push at the end. Felt great 👌

Long run complete 🏃
24kms/15miles. Considering the 8km jump up from last week, very happy with this.
HR data a bit off for some reason, ain't no way it kept dropping at the end 😂
Also, elevation in this run was the same as total elevation in the marathon 👌

Initial plan was to do 2 x 10*400m at 4:10/km pace, but due to fatigue, I settled for 4:30/km which still pushed me. Took me 3 reps to settle into pace, and really felt it for the last 5 😅 also wanted to go all out on the last rep as usual 💪🔥
Do 👏 hard 👏 things 👏

Went for a threshold run today on VERY tired legs 😴 was supposed to be 10km but the last 1.5km was a steep uphill and I was already fading 😵 happy with the pacing though 🙌

It's been a week since I set my first proper benchmark. I hadn't allowed myself to feel the nerves or anything in the build-up so as soon as I realised I reached my goal of 4:30, it all came out (didn't take very long) 😅
Now to keep improving 🏃💪

7 years ago, I ran 23.33 miles (after running 7-9 miles regularly but never more). Bonked massively in the final ~5 miles.
Ran solo, for charity, with 4L of lucozade sport on my back to keep me going 😅

5km easy run today. 16° and rained non-stop so decided I'd just enjoy it instead of keep pushing it back until it stopped 🤷♂️ was very refreshing after the 25 degrees we've had 😍

Was honestly just vibing and loving my run today 😅😍 the sun was back, effort felt easy (HR was higher than I thought though, rip) and another solid 8kms in the bag 👌
Now I'm gonna take a nap 😏

Felt so stiff all day, still recovering from Monday, and felt so tired I had to nap.
Thought of having a day off, but remembered why I'm pushing myself this week, so I got out the door and did my recovery run. SO glad I did! Would not have done anything but recovery today 😅😴

Stopped for 40s to refill my bottle, hence the different timings.

Supposed to be a day off, but I got used to running 6 days a week (plan has me doing 4 at the moment) and felt a bit restless. So went for 8kms and decided to pick it up a bit for the last 2kms 😋🔥🏃

5k tempo/progressive done for the day. Legs wanted to go faster than easy but managed not to push the pace too far/too long.
Could feel where the niggles are so I know where to focus recovery.
And also managed to get home right as the rain came pouring down 👌😁

Well that wasn't too bad. Definitely lost a lot of strength though. Surprisingly, the Bulgarian split squats were easier than the bench press 😅🥴

Whoops... Aim was 5/6kms easy recovery.
Firat 3 songs were so good I just vibed and worked on form while controlling breathing instead. Then got competitive and wanted to beat my segment from yesterday 🤦 at least I kept it easy after that 🤷♂️😅

LOVE seeing others being happy with progress and falling in love with running again 😍 still got some work to do, but this is A HUGE step forward 👏👏🔥
I smashed this speed session out the park tonight. Been so convinced that I can't go fast anymore (fast for me) and yet I did this and was comfortable! Thanks

Pic 3 - HR in 16°
Pic 4 - HR in 25°
Yes, I knew I'd be running for longer in one of these, but the effort was still near enough the same for the first 5km. The heat makes a HUGE difference, so don't be afraid to slow down

I need to work on pacing 😂
Wanted a 6:00/km average run today, after my 13km yesterday. The 5:30 pace was comfortable but difficult to maintain when the wind was blowing against me for half the run. But overall, not a bad run 😁

Another AMAZING interval session done 😍 absolutely killed me but I hit all my paces 🙌 was cutting it close after the 1600m rep, but still never sprinted to finish on time 😁
My next 5k goal is 4:36/km, so will certainly be a challenge. Got some beasty sessions planned though 😏

I hold a 500ml bottle in my hands, and switch hands every now and then. I know where I'm able to fill up during runs, so always stay within distance of those around the times I'll need to refill. Not the most comfortable but I've got used to it over time.
Which races you doing?

My top 2 tips:
1 - stay hydrated before running and take a bottle with you
2 - keep it nice and easy, like, SLOW 😅

Brilliant thread. I've always been a run hard, run fast kinda guy and I wonder why it takes forever to improve. Started running slower and it certainly helps. Huge improvements for this guy though, and will definitely track my progress 🏃
I improved my Zone 2 running pace by ~1:30/mile over the past 6 months.
The craziest part?
I did it only running 1-2 days (5-15 miles) per week!
Here’s how I did it:
