Away for work, and quite timely as the air quality in Boston is much better than in NYC today.

Looking forward to Saturday. The 6th #Parkrun in #Fürth - and my first one. #Running #mastodonLaufTreff

The #Supershoe Revolution Continues. Here’s What the Latest Research Says
“a reminder that the debate about #training in #supershoes is still very much in play, and there will be more data to come” https://www.outsideonline.com/health/training-performance/supershoe-research-acsm-conference-2023/ #running
“All of #running is energy maintenance, from our #shoes to our stride. ‘We are essentially giant springs as we #run’”
“Everybody at the time made a huge deal about this #carbonfiber plate, but that foam is the magic, that’s the game changer” #supershoes
“The plate brings the center of pressure to where we need it under the foot”
“The better #running economy…cannot be currently explained from a biomechanical standpoint” https://www.runnersworld.com/gear/a43511460/fastest-marathon-shoe-alphafly/
❝You can only start from where you find yourself. Take a moment to imagine what seems impossible. How much of it is a conventional, or routine constraint? A construction that you take for granted? Made a part of yourself. Even your whole self, maybe?
Now, imagine that it is wrong. All wrong. Disconcerting, isn’t it? Yet pregnant with possibilities, no?

A lovely 5k morning run today 🏃♂️ #Running #Run #Runners #RunnersOfMastodon #NatureRun #Photo #Photography #NaturePhotography





It hasn't rained in two weeks.
I have massive hayfever.
It's _really_ uncomfortably hot in the evenings already.
So of course I went #running before breakfast today and ran 5km in 38 minutes and 36 seconds.
I’ve been running for 2½ years. Now, if I want to run a half marathon, the only criterion is ‘have I got a couple of hours free?’ Not, am I prepared, or have I run one (or two!) already this week? Simply, do I fancy it? And, on the Downs, I *really* do. #running #SouthDowns #Brighton

Who is the idiot who ran a good 5K but totally skipped the post run stretches and is now walking around with pain in every fiber of his lower body?
Damn you lactic acid. #Running

This was the nice part if my day , I earned a badge on Garmin Connect.

Busy and a tad hectic #HumpDay. Didn’t have time to share my morning hill repeats until now:




10-mile run w/ new Chariot Sport to celebrate #GlobalRunningDay. Thule had a great Memorial Day sale, so we stocked up for our forthcoming 2nd kid. Pictured:
* Urban Glide 2 w/ 3k miles
* Urban Glide 2 double
* Chariot Sport w/ jogging kit (not pictured)
It was different having a fixed wheel and wider rear wheelbase, but my pace was the same as the single stroller. Success! The kid likes it more. He brought Pooh and his reindeer (and the usual snacks). #run #running #joggingstroller

The smoke has compromised the air quality even way down here in SW VA, although nowhere near what my northern friends are enduring. Still, I opted/settled for #GlobalRunningDay on a treadmill.
Aggravatingly, this one was not even close to being accurate. A constant pace cannot result in lengthening time per kilometer… and yet I had drift of somewhere around 10-15 seconds on some KMs and perhaps even more. No idea how well I ran. Definitely dissatisfied, but I felt alright. I guess.☹️
I forgot to mention that Garmin lowered my VO2 max today, from 39 to 38. 😩 I know it's not "true" VO2 max but still. I've been sitting at 39 for three months now (since I got my Forerunner 55) and was hoping that, you know, running a bunch would raise it, but I guess I need more speed work.
I WILL raise that score up!

✅🏃🏽31K Trail run (LongRun)
https://strava.app.link/Npn7zWxvrAb
Good run - got to listen to some Koop Cast episodes. I really like his “I have no sponsor biased approach”. Also started one from Trail Runner Nation: I like their good humor … sometimes it manifests into real life as smiles or even giggles 🤭
Target was 30K … but hey … it’s trail running … so plus/minus a few kilometers is part of the game 😅🏃🏻♂️🏃🏻♂️🏃🏻♂️🏃🏻♂️🏃🏻♂️
Hätte mich auch geärgert, wenn ich gerade heute nicht gelaufen wäre. Lief besser als gestern, auch wenn die Leistung insgesamt immer geringer wird. Aber der TP für den Halbmarathon in Köln beginnt auch erst in der kommenden Woche.

#Running update: Tough (for me) tempo run today, 4x8:00 @ 10:45/mi. My feet are still going numb when running, especially at faster paces, even with looser lacing. It goes away when I stop and do some ankle rotations and stuff and doesn't seem to impact my slower paces so I should probably do some more dynamic stretching before a session.
Happy Global Running Day!

Wrote a little piece up on DIY powder for fueling runs and this year’s #ultras. Gist is 100 calories is 14g maltodextrin, 7g fructose, 3g MCT, 0.1g salt mixed with liquid of choice.
I’ve been mixing a large batch of powder, then making it as needed based on length of run.
Day 54 of #Running recovery break. Another smokey, hazy day in Ottawa, so it was a short 6 KM walk with a mask on.


brick #run outside today for #GlobalRunningDay but the haze from the Canadian wildfires is still strong in there city😱
@WTL hope it's not too much worse over there

10K post-Jury Duty run to work through Quebec’s smoky air in Baltimore. Focused on Zone 4 work. Ended up being one of my fastest runs to work! Lol.

We took part in the #REWETeamChallenge in #Dresden yesterday: 30 members of @mpicbg from the research groups of Anthony Hyman, Eric Geertsma, Jonathan Rodenfles, Rita Mateus, @nadlerlab & many more, conquered the fun 5K run and left footprints of determination in the heart of Dresden. 🔥🏃♀️🏃♂️ #running



🏃#Running shoe toot 🏃
Finally burned through my Hokas and done enough PT on my knee to be ready to get running again. I'm giving On running shoes a try.
Anyone big on either of these chunky kicks? I'd love to hear your experience
Prepared the running vest for tomorrows long run: water bladder 💦 , mid layer shirt, running jacket, first aid kit, emergency blanket, calories etc. Will also half-fill my two vest water bottles💧.
A lot of “not going to use it” stuff - except the water and calories 😉. Mainly to train closer to the race gear setup.
Running after work 🏃🏽🏃🏽🏃🏽🏃🏽 … in my hard earned Istria100 by UTMB t-shirt 👌🏼😅



Eerie how #music triggers memories. On my run today, Santa Monica came on my wireless ear buds, and it reminded of 26 years ago. The same song on a portable Minidisc player, pocketed in my overly large cargo shorts, with wired headphones to my head, while #rollerblading on a hot day 😏
✅🏃🏽16K Trail run
https://strava.app.link/VnZUVqIOpAb
Mostly Gravel. Due to keeping the effort under somewhat control.
Target was 14K. I’ll cut 2K from the Thu/Fri runs to keep in line with my weekly target volume.
Day 53 of #Running recovery break. Wore a N-95 mask for my 7km walk, got home to our neighbour returning home with only one of her two dogs; the other one got spooked in Stanley park, so I dropped off the groceries, and biked around (still with my mask on) the area looking for the missing puppy.
Fortunately someone else did find it and posted it online.
Glad to see a lot of folks wearing masks outside because it's bad out there, #Ottawa. #ForestFires



Day 52 of #Running recovery break. Smokey start to the day as a haze covered #Ottawa from wildfires. Got 34km of #Cycling in, though the battery on the camera gave up after 27KM or so. Construction detours are as unclear as I was told. Might be cycling with a mask tomorrow if the smoke gets much worse. #OttBike

Who invented the marathon? It’s not as ancient as you think
Most people believe the race was inspired by an ancient Greek courier, who ran 26 miles to declare victory against the Persians. They’re wrong.

Another lovely, slightly cooler #dailyrun this morning. It’s so nice at this time of year to see the baby animals (you might be able to make out the ducklings behind the mother duck in the 3rd picture). #ottawa #rideaucanal #arboretum #dowslake #run #running #ottrun




Yesterday was spent on Surveyor’s Ridge trail on the east side of Mt. Hood. What a day out there! The mountain was popping, the sky was blue, and while we both ran out of water it was still a fantastic day. #Mountains #running #trailrunning




I get joy out of #Running in new places, especially early in cities when it hasn't woken yet. Ran a little in Portland Maine this brisk morning.
My first half marathon!
I’m so happy and sore at the same time 😅
Neck pain was something I was My expecting. My posture must be off.
#running #fitness #AppleFitness #halfmarathon

5/2 Running Experiment*: It’s a bit weird here on the second day off (rest day) from running. Feeling a bit restless and as if I should be having a long run later (not happening).
On the positive side I feel “super ready” to train already, have had no stress due to conflicts with family weekend activities, … and I feel like it is allowing me true recovery; useful for the next week 😎
Garmin agrees 😉🏃🏽
*5 consecutive weekdays running, 2 consecutive weekend days recovery.



Day 50 of #Running recovery break. 23KM of #Cycling in what I consider a (finally) acceptable temperature (16°C), even if the wind was a bit much (37km/hr, gust to 55km/hr), went exploring a bit more east, then south to find a bike path that dwindled out in a parking lot. 🤷🏻 I did consult my map before heading out, so was able to get back onto a recreational path relatively quickly.

One last long run before I start a rest week. Will do nothing but cross training during the week probably. #running

Unexpected 5km PB today at parkrun today!!! Closing in on that sub 25 minute goal. #running

If you're interested, more info on how #running helps reduce joint inflammation: https://www.runnersworld.com/health-injuries/a20828510/is-running-actually-good-for-your-knees/
And how slow running should be a majority of running mileage: https://runninforsweets.com/run-slow-to-run-fast/
I love this so much. #Running is for everyone, and, contrary to popular myths: (1) it doesn't "wear out" your knees or other joints, it actually helps keep them functioning well, and (2) running slowly is a key part of any training program (80% of runs should be slow), you don't have to "go fast" to be a runner.

This was surprisingly hard to write but with some encouragement from the right people I finished it.
Some notes of why I started running how I started, and how I'm going today.
Must have overlooked the run start time was 5:40 not 5:45... I managed to catch them in 1.8 miles, also getting run off the road by some jerk in a car. #running
I guess I need to get up even earlier on Thursdays to run with this crowd. Might not be for me, it's quite an effort for a 6 mile easy run. I do like being up, and active early.
Whoooooooop I just ran 5k on the treadmill! I haven’t run that far continuously for about 15 years! Annoyingly though I came in 8 seconds slower than when I run half and walk half, which just shows you how slowly I run (or how fast I walk 😹). Never mind, my goal for the race, which is in 3 weeks and 2 days, was just to be able to run the course without stopping and now I think I can 😃 #running
What are you favourite sports nutrition food/drinks to help with training and recovery?
I used to be a big fan of Picky Bars, but since they abandoned the UK (can’t think why…) I’ve had to find new stuff.
My current favourite is OTE. I love their hydro tablets for keeping me hydrated, and their flapjacks/Duo Bars for pre-run energy and post-run recovery.
A dull but warm 5k morning run today 🏃.

I love to run, that's clear.
But the best parts of training for an ultra run are the (solo) long runs, for sure! 🙌 Just me, myself and the trails, enjoying nature and the views: pure joy.
longish (kind of wanted longer but body didn't want to play) run done today. Needed to run off some anger.
Different route today, headed backwards from my usual runs along the river and did a loop around the botanical gardens (apparently this is called running the tan?).
#HumbleBrag time, ran 1/2 this morning. It was hot. Personal pr, 1:31:02, beat my two #running buddies who smoked me at Boston this year, and I didn't really train for this race. Don't get me wrong I have been working hard, but just not on my running specifically.
On a cooler day, with less traffic the last few miles, I might have broken 130, a big goal for me.
Garbage week. Absolute muck. From multiple angles. But, I drove the unkillable banger to the woods and had a nice trail run. And, and, and The Sainted One has just constructed my fourth ice cream of the day. So, really, what have I got to complain about? #running
Parkruns seemingly have become my recovery/easy runs. Great run with lots of furs this weekend.
Time: 27:50
