Ran with the Collie (12k, concrete road, some track) and then returned to take my mums elderly terrier for her 2k walk. Clearly the pair of them have had a disagreement overnight. They still are not talking after breakfast.
Awful run. Humid ++ and none of my body parts wanted to work together. Dead legs, lungs that couldn’t keep up with such a slow pace, and profuse sweating that couldn’t evaporate. Had to walk often to keep my HR down.
It’s fine. I’m not happy about it, but the next one will be better. Mentally crumple this one up and throw it away. Big fat whatever… #Running
I have 1 rule when it comes to weather. You can only "hate" 1 season. If you hate 2 seasons or more, then you probably should consider relocating.
I really hate summer. Hot, sweaty, sun burning off your skin. Even in the morning, that morning run... not enough white reflective layers in the world.
On the plus side, it did inspire the song "Chasing Shadows"!
Finished “What I Talk About When I Talk About Running” by Haruki Murakami. Heavily recommend by my friends in #Running & justifiably so because it’s absolutely brilliant.
For me, Murakami’s writing on the mental aspects of running surfaced so many latent thoughts I had but hadn’t yet been able to articulate.
It’s also a treatise on aging and decline, as he copes with his diminishing performances. 5/5 stars
Tuesday:
84 seconds of plank,
Walked @TAV and Sprocket to the dock in the park
7.54km of #running (20°C, with a Humidex of 24°C)
11 minutes Yoga for runners
20 minutes of HIIT
20 minutes Strength training
10 minutes Mindful Cooldown
Changed the order today as it's already oppressively hot out for me. I’m wrecked by the end of the workouts. Starting with the running really burns me out.
This week trying two days running, one cycling (tomorrow), and two more running. 🤞🏻 #AppleFitness#Ottawa
Ok, who recognizes themselves as a "lung-gom-pa"? 😃 .
Let me start. I have been there for many years. Training was an easy way to sedate myself.
How about you?
Thursday:
129 seconds of plank
8.2km of #running (21°C, a Humidex of 28°C)
20 minutes of HIIT
30 minutes of strength
11 minutes of yoga for runners
Today's workout was the definition of workout suffering. High humidex, offset a bit by some light rain that didn't seem to help. My last full KM was 5:48/km, as I really wanted to get out of being outside.
Did spot my first snapping turtle about to lay eggs.
I'm pretty sure Kim (and Bakari) are trying to kill me in HITT. 🤣
