#41 (Flat Run) – 50 runs in 100 days – Just run edition
#42 (Barefoot Running) – 50 runs in 100 days – Just run edition

This is going to be a tough week, Friday is the last day of this challenge and I am a bit behind. So I decided I would run a short flat run and then finish with barefoot running.

When I walked from the train station to my home after work I felt a breeze and part of me said that I did not need my water belt but lucky me my wiser me told me to bring it.

I have two 5K runs; city run, mostly on bike paths and then one where I am running out in the country and longed for that one.

Wore linnen, running skirt, flipbelt and water belt.

Temperature: 27.5oC (81.5F) but when I started the run I did not feel any breeze and it did not take very long til I had to wet my hair and drink water. So in the beginning I struggled a bit but then around a corner of the hay bales I finally felt the breeze 🙂

Me, running and heat are not friends but I was surprised that I had a faster pace part of the run, under 6 min/k which I didn’t expect.

So I was glad I brought my water belt because I had to wet my hair many times during the run and drink water. That is a advice from me, always bring your water belt otherwise your run could be destroyed, either cutting the distance short or be forced to walk part of the run.

Distance: 5.28K, time: 32.26.5 min, average heart rate: 155, average pace: 6.08 min/k,
max pace: 5.33 min/k, cadence: 174, VO2 Max: 31 ml/kg/min

After the flat run I did some barefoot running, visualized running on glass but the cadence ended up not being good today.

Distance: 0.70K, cadence: 162
