#33 (Flat Run) – 50 runs in 100 days – Just run edition
#34 (Barefoot running) – 50 runs in 100 days – Just run edition
Decided for a shorter run tonite after work and finish with some barefoot running
Wore running skirt, linnen, flipbelt
Really a good run, had a fast pace even on the longer hill part at the end. I was just focusing on the pace this time
Distance: 2.56K, time: 14.14.7, average heart rate: 143, average pace: 5.44 min/k, max pace: 4.25 min/k, cadence: 180, VO2 Max: 28 ml/kg/min
Decided that it was time for some barefoot running afterwards. It was a while ago since last time. Decided to run on the grass for 5 min and visualize that I was running on glass
Distance: 1.03K, time: 5.18.4 min, average heart rate: 145, average pace: 5.11 min/k, cadence: 186, VO2 Max: 26 ml/kg/min
Tonite I had decided that I would run on St Hans hills. It is time to start preparing for Lidingöloppet end of September and Kullamannen beginning of November.
It was a while since I had been running on St Hans hills.
The temperature showed 26oC (78.8F) but it was windy so I decided to wear shorts, t-shirt, compression socks. flipbelt, no water. Turned out to be perfect weather, not too cold, breeze.
Decided to run the regular route on St Hans Extreme and also the half moon that has not existed for a while, they did drainage work and the half moon was just a big mound that you couldn’t run on.
It was nice being back, felt that I had a good pace up the hills and down the hills.
Totally had forgotten about the frisbee golf players, two teams were there and during the run another team showed up, hoped that we would not bump into each other, we kept a distance in the beginning but then I heard one team in the grove and did use the word Fore to get noticed. They behaved and I was on my watch to not get hit by a frisbee.
I guess being frustrated, longing for St Hans hills and perfect weather was a good match, no screaming today 🙂 but pictured what have put me in a shitty mood in front of me up the hills 🙂
Distance: 13.02K, time: 1.31.50.4h, average heart rate: 154, average pace: 7.03 min/k, max pace: 5.39 min/k, cadence: 172 (thought it would be a bit better), VO2 Max: 29 ml/kg/min
After work it was time to run a longer run out to the country.
The nice thing with the summer is that you can run long in the evening because it is still light out.
It was a bit breezier so I decided to wear shorts, t-shirt, water belt, flipbelt.
It was nice checking out a house that started to get built when I ran here the last time, I looked forward to see the progress.
On this country road is usually not too many cars. Here I have to run more on the road instead of more to the side otherwise I run into a knee issue. But tonite the road was busy where I had to run more to the side to make room.
It was a very nice run, not too warm, not too cold, a breeze. Some soreness in my right knee but not any pain, felt a bit in my back. Ran into a back issue the first resting week after my ultra race but I will be at the gym this week and start with the back exercises again.
Drank water and had to wet my head on my way back
Had a goal to run under 2h, almost made it 🙂
Distance; 18.62K, time: 2.01.50.5 h, average heart rate: 143, average pace: 6.32 min/k, max pace: 5.40 min/k, cadence: 174, VO2 Max: 24 ml/kg/min
Last run before the ultra race – Hallandsultran – on Saturday. Tomorrow at the gym the second time this week focusing on core and hips.
Temperature: 21oC (69.8F)
It was a bit chillier when I got home from work so Idecided to wear shorts, t-shirt, flipbelt and water belt but realized that linen would have been a better choice.
Nice with a breeze.
I washed my pulse belt earlier this week and realized that I had to pair my pulse watch and pulse belt when it found the GPS very quickly and skipped the pulse belt 🙂
During the run I drank some water but did not wet my hair this time.
Comfortable pace.
Distance: 5.06K, time: 31.48.9 min, average heart rate: 135, average pace: 6.17 min/k, max pace: 5.45 min/k, cadence: 174, VO2 Max: 25 ml/kg/min
Today it was a joy running a 5K run compared to Friday when I thought I was gonna die.
This picture sums it up.
Decided to run after breakfast but had to run some errands and did those first and then before lunch I ran.
Temperature: 23oC (73.4F) so I decided to wear my running skirt (has become a life saver), linen, flipbelt and water belt.
As soon as I started running I felt a cool breeze. 🙂
I wet my hair a couple of times, not because I got over heated, just that it feels good to have a cool head and drank some water during the run. Running up the bike path at the end was a joy and I also increased the pace at the very end.
This is the temperature I am hoping for this weekend, a bit cooler in the morning and then around 22oC with a breeze in the afternoon. The worst scenario would be how it was Thursday and Friday this week.
Distance: 5.22K, time: 32.09.8 min, average heart rate: 141, average pace: 6.09 min/k, max pace: 5.24 min/k, cadence: 176, VO2 Max: 26 ml/kg/min
This picture sums it up pretty much. The plan was to run around 9K but it did not take long til I was about to give up. It was SO WARM.
If it was warm yesterday it was nothing compare to today. 5 really agonizing K’s.
I wore my runnning skirt which is so liberating when it is very warm, I am so glad I bought this outfit, linen, flipbelt and water belt. I had to wet my hair a lot during the run and I thought that I literally would die so I cut the run short and turn back home.
It was tough breathing today. I hope that June 11th won’t be this way the whole day.
Distance: 5.25K, time: 33.09.1 min, average heart rate: 141, average pace: 6.18 min/k, max pace: 5.24 min/k, cadence: 174, VO2 Max: 25 ml/kg/min
It was warm when I walked from the train to home after work so I decided to wear my running skirt, linen, flipbelt and of course my water belt.
I have said this before, me, running and heat are not the best friends.
It was WARM and then I appreciate my water belt a lot because I can both drink and wet my hair to stay cool. And enjoyed the breeze that showed it’s face from time to time and there were also parts where I was running in the shadow 🙂 and then I got out in the heat again 🙂
Today it was 10 painful k’s but I am glad I got out and it was nice to get back home earlier since I am not commuting anymore. Will look forward to these earlier evening runs this summer.
Nice to see that Marina Nyman also was out running and we said hi.
I have to say I am surprised about the total time.
Distance: 9.83K, time: 1.02.55.1h, average heart rate: 148, average pace: 6.23 min/k, max pace: 5.37 min/k, cadence: 172, VO2 Max: 26 ml/kg/min
Today was the last day that I was commuting to Älmhult. Now I will have much closer to work and exercising will be working so much better and I am back at the gym.
Planned to run 12.5K which I did.
It was warm when I got home so I decided I would wear my running skirt, linen, flipbelt and water belt.
No problem with my pulse watch.
When I was running on the first dirt road I thought I saw a familiar face and it turned out I was right, I passed Marina Nyman, a running buddy of mine. I ran 30K with her a couple of years ago prior to Lidingöloppet and we had a lot of fun. She had knee surgery and had to go back to square one. Nice to see her running and it looked very good which I told her.
Of course I forgot to tie my shoe laces double so one got loose and had to stop and tie double and of course two water bottles fell from the water belt, negative when the belt get worn out.
Back up and running again.
It was WARM and I, running and heat are not the best friends.
Then I saw a girl running with her dog in a smart way and it turned out it was another CKR runner, Louise Lundh, that I ran the Death Zone (Dödens Zon) with in October last year, we also said hi.
Good thing with a water belt is that you can wet your hair. Much easier than from a water bladder so I wet my hair a couple of times.
Water bottles fell of the belt one more time, grrrrr
Even it was hot it was nice getting out on a run tonite
Distance: 12.47K, time: 1.20.04.3h, average heart rate: 142, average pace: 6.25 min/k, max pace: 5.45 min/k, cadence: 170, VO2 Max: 24 ml/kg/min
First resting week Before my ultra race June 11th.
Hoped that my legs would want to run in a ”Fun run” pace, approximately 6 min/k.
it was summer temperature in the beginning of this week but the temperature dropped this morning, I even wore gloves again 🙂 But in the afternoon it got warm again so it felt good to run in shorts and t-shirt. Flipbelt and water belt was also included.
Temperature: 20oC (68F)
The runners that I passed today had head phones on and was very focused on their music so it was no point saying hi.
A couple of weeks ago I was going to run my 10K run that I had not run in a while and forgot one part so the run got shortened. Tonite I planned to run the correct route and managed to do it this time 🙂
It felt good to come out for a run in a comfortable pace, part of the run I had a pace around 5.55 min/k
Distance: 9.80K, time: 1.00.16.5h, average heart rate: 144, average pace: 6.08 min/k, max pace: 5.25 min/k, cadence: 172, VO2 Max: 25 ml/kg/min
It was nice to see the sun when I walked to the train leaving work. The temperature dropped this week and it has been grey. Gloves back on today 🙂
I had to run some errands on my way home, was thinking about doing intervals but decided to run a shorter run.
Temperature: 14oC (57.2F) so capri tights, thin long sleeve, short socks, flipbelt.
Pulse belt was found and GPS 🙂
It was nice running, needed to get some frustration out of the system too.
Felt good to see those numbers under 6 min/k but even if it would have been a fun race pace I would have liked the run as well. Not a lot of other runners were out.
Distance: 5.07K, time: 29.38 min, average heart rate: 146, average pace: 5.50 min/k, max pace: 5.03 min/k, cadence: 178, VO2 Max: 28 ml/kg/min
