8.25K Short Run

#8

When I biked home from work I realized it was very warm.

No way I would wear long sleeve wool, windstopper and long tights.

Tonite it would be premiere for shorts and t-shirt but when I got home I changed my mind and decided to put on my running skirt. Also premiere for my flipbelt and water belt.

To try to avoid another knee issue I put liniment on my right knee

Temperature: 24oC (75.2F)

Decided that the legs would decide the pace the first 1K but it was tough getting them to slow down not until on the bog they slowed down due to the heat.

From time to time the pace increased but I was not too breathless

Water belt is a tip when it is warm and you do city runs, you can drink and also wet your hair and face. It helped for a while but then it was warm again

I was forced to walk from time to time due to the heat.

But since I did not have any knee issue I wouldn’t cut the distance, I am not a person who give up. I need to loose weight and get fit again and not head out because it was warm was not an option.

Same thing with the gym, need to get the strength back and just because it is tough right now I won’t give up there either, it won’t make me stronger.

There were some other runners that seemed to struggle with the heat.

Once again my legs started to run faster and faster at the end

Even if it was warm tonite I was glad I ran, not too bad, 4 minutes slower than last time due to heat is just fine.

This was my last 8K run, tomorrow I will increase the distance once again.

Weight Report

This week I increased the distance to 8K and been going to the gym, had to cut the distance Friday but felt that I have lost some weight this week.

This week’s weigh report: -0,7 KG.

I am determined to get below 60 KG this year.

6.52K Short Run

#7

The original plan was to run the same 8K run that I have run lately.

Decided to do the grocery shopping after work and then run.

I decided to do a test.

On the first §K I let my legs decide what pace just as long as it was around 6 min/k, they tried to increase the pace to 6 min/k but felt it definately in my lungs and had to calm down.

Switched my route a bit and started with the end first and then the bog.

For some reason I decided to do a detour and got to the bog another way and when I got to the bog I ran into a knee issue that I thought would go away so after the fast pace, slow pace and then fast pace again the first knee issue appeared so I had to stop and walk for a short distance and then I started running again, ran into the same knee issue again, most of the time it is my right knee which it was tonite.

Decided to cut the distance, my lungs were just fine, the knee made this decision. I am not sure if the knee got stressed because I increased the running time to 3 and also increased the distance to 3 times.

I probably walked 3-4 times.

Still it was nice being running again and I will keep going.

Gym

Before I went to the gym I had a hair cut 🙂

Surprised that I got down to my hairdresser in such  short time. Tood another tour due to all the construction in my hometown.

Some people have decided to get us a tram, unbelievable and then district heating. Depending where you want to head you have to think twice,

After the haircut I went to the gym.

Tonite I increased the weight on my calves 🙂

Still struggling with tricepts, chinups.

I felt tiredness in my back when I started my session with hip exercises, core and calves (funtional training) but hope that my back will get stronger which it will.

Added some more core exercises, I seem to have core muscles afterwards, someone told me that if you have good core muscles and do a lot of core you will feel sore the day after, that happened last week.

During my hip exercises I got tired in my hip muscles and stretched with the dove stretching exercise for the first time.

I just have to keep going to get my strength back.

8.27K Short Run

#6

Monday I was suppose to run a 8K route around the bog but had to do a detour near my home to get up to 8K.

Afterwards I compared the route that I ran Monday with the 8K route and saw what went wrong 🙂

So today I would run this 8K route around the bog.

Temperature: 14oC (57F)

Still do not want to run in shorts and t-shirt. I do not want to catch another cold for a while.

Same thing as Monday, faster legs but have to have a slower pace if I want to be able to run the whole route without walking due to stressed lungs.

Interesting thing is that when you try to get the pace to be slower you end up getting a too slow pace so I had to fight to get to around 7.15 min/k pace.

But during the run I got a faster pace than 7 min/k and feel it in my lungs, 6.35 min/k which is a slow pace for me normally is not an option right now.

So much nice to run today, no wind, sun and blue sky.

Passed some other runners, have not seen so many yet when I have been out running.

When I got back to the bike path I let my legs decide what pace they wanted to have and did not look at the watch what pace I had til the very end when my legs wanted to run faster and faster. That is just fine if I have around 1K left of the route.

Ran the whole route once again which feels great and a bit faster today 🙂

I have forgotten to stretch afterwards but started today and also foamrolled my hips. They definately need to be more foamrolled. It felt.
