It's time for my #running session but it rains heavily. Trying to find the motivation 😭😭😭

s1m0n4, 2 months ago to running

I did it 🥳🎉!

First 10k and my PB so far. My net time was 01:02:12, i.e. a pace of 6'13"/km
My best training time so far has been 6'25"/km in 9 km, so I'm satisfied with my performance!

People cheering while passing by is a great motivational boost.

#running folks: how did you find the right shoes for your feet? Did it truly change the way you run?

I'm starting to think my calf problems are related to my shoes. I know that there are shops providing a sort of foot analysis, but I am not confident enough to go there.

#workoutoftheday #running

Warm-up: 1 km walk
Intervals 4:1 ➡️ 4' slow pace + 1' fast pace (x6)
Cool-down: 2 km walk

Following suggestions I received on IG, I've decided to do #intervalrunning instead of fartleks on my short runs.
It's a bit difficult for me to regulate the fast pace, but I guess I will improve with practice.

I'm getting faster but I have to weigh this with a grain of salt because yesterday I took an unplanned rest day. Rest days considerably and positively affect my performance.

Mmmh, now wondering if I should take 2 consecutive rest days before my 10k race on March 17th.

Wow. Just wow. I regret to have attributed such high notes to other dramas before because this one goes off scale.
Vote: 11/10
Thanks to everyone here who recommended it to me. It's now my favorite drama (beating even #Happiness ladies and gentlemen) with the most wonderful love story and characters.

There's action, love, romance, crime, psychological insights and excellent actors. Not only the lead couple #JiChangWook and #ParkMinYoung already [1/2]

My #morningrun didn't go as planned today. Temperature was -5°C and my old phone suddenly drained its battery at km 4. I really need a new one 😭!
So I went back, but with no music to keep me focused I stopped after 2ish km.
I must have run for about 6 km only.

Not my fastest 10k but I had fun. Like a crazy lady I sang for 8 km 😂, then I decided to pick up the pace a bit for the last 2 km.
It was raining, windy and most alleys in the park were blocked due to a triathlon competition.
So no star shape either today 😞.
Nevertheless the good thing with bad weather is less groups of people going for a walk and taking up the whole alley width.

Sensational messages promoting #fitness apps are getting on my nerves
"Learn #handstand in just 15 min/day!"
"From 0 to 10 #pullups with this 6-weeks course!"
"#Somersault in 1-month!"

All of these are only likely if you're in your 20s, a normal weight range and you've exercised your whole life.

It's been 2½ years since I first starting to work on #pullup. I've been on and off but consistent training periods have been of 3+ months.
The foundation required for those skills is advanced level.

Another ⭐-drawing. This is a time-efficient 10k path starting and ending at 10-min walk from home. I'll keep it in mind.
What do you think? To me it looks like a ⭐ hanging from a tree branch.

Performance-wise I felt tired. I usually increase my speed the last km but today I couldn't even do that.

Another week another ⭐.

My pace is slightly improving. Two weeks ago my first 10 km took 01:07:37 and today I was 00:01:24 faster than that.

Below my lousy execution of snatches 😂🙅‍♀️

After a week of rest I'm still recovering from my injured calf, so it was upper body today.
Not sure how long I should postpone #running, there are only 4 weeks left until the 10k. Calf still bothers me 😞

Last week it was intermittent headaches and a sore throat, this week it's a runny nose, a sore throat and, as I unfortunately found out during my #running session, diarrhea.
No, I didn't 💩 in my pants!
Since I've started taking #creatine its effects have been gut regulation and sphincter strengthening. I can now hold it in even in such extreme conditions (if I walk instead of running)! 😂

With great effort I've successfully been avoiding #WhatsApp so far, but this hard exploit has sadly come to an end and I must install it for a circuit training group I'm part of.

I've experienced the same delusion when I had to switch back to #android from #SailfishOs because of apps available only there. Or when I had to create #Facebook temporary accounts to join certain communities.

So annoyed by coercion exerted by society when it comes to products, sgrunt!

I've finally entered all the #kdramas I watched in MDL. It took me hours and I'm sure I've forgotten some 🧐

Anyway how do I add you guys on my friends list?

I'm thinking about quitting #circuittraining. It's a free class and this is my third year. Every year the instructor changes because the local public administration only hires through 1-year contracts (interesting how only the public sector is allowed to do that repeatedly 😤!). Anyway this year they hired a young man who's always on sick leave or refuses to do the class. His colleague who usually trains children in schools ensures the class in those cases.
Alas there's no continuity nor

I can't believe this is a beginner workout! I am indeed out of shape but still. How can anyone possibly do 7 min of crunches, bicycle crunches & planks with only 10s breaks between exercises lasting 1min each? 😵

I went #running this morning but I didn't feel good. Back home from our Danish vacation I feel very tired. We walked a lot and I drove for 2900 km because husband doesn't drive at all.

So I had to stop at 4 km because I lacked the mental strength to continue. I will have to approach my sessions gradually from now on, alternating running and walking to build back the endurance I lost.
