#33 – 50 runs in 100 days – Summer edition

There was talk about rain this morning, that it would start at lunch time but it came before lunch. I had to make a visit to my new employer and when I walked back it rained so I got a run before lunch to not get too wet 🙂

On my way home from work I saw the rain outside of the train window but I was determined that I would run after work.

It rained a bit when I walked home from the train station but I thought it wouldn’t rain by the time that I would start my run and that was the case.

Wore shorts, t-shirt, flipbelt and waterbelt.

The positive with a city run is that if it would start rain heavily I can always cut the distance, harder out in the woods.

I decided that I would try to run as long as possible before I might have to take a 500 m walk. Hoped that I would be able to make it over 5K but it did not feel that way and I had my walk after 5K and that was suppose to be my only walk but then I got pain in my front right hip towards my knee so at 7.5K I walked for another 500 m.

Had a bit of heavy breathing.

But positive to get out for a run.

I got some rain during the run, some drizzle and then when I was sitting home after my run I heard the heavy rain, glad that I got out when I got out.

This night I have now planned the rest of the weeks before my toughest race so far November 4th when I will run the ”Double Death (Dubbeldöden) +44K. It will be more hilly intervals now instead of pulse based intervals and I think that is right for this type of race, a very tough hilly run.

Distance: 9.73K, time: 1.06.48h, average heart rate: 140, average pace: 6.51 min/k, max pace: 5.46 min/k, cadence: 164, VO2 Max: 26 ml/kg/min
