22.66K Long Run

#30 – 50 runs in 100 days – Summer edition

First we took the car down to Vårhallen where I had time to relax before I went out on my run from Tobiksvik to Borrby Strand.

Decided that I would run 5K and then 500 m walk.

When I left Simrislund I found where I should have run when I ran to Brantevik and then ran this part today closer to the water which was nice

Just before I got to Brantevik I got drizzle but it actually felt nice when it is a bit warmer

When I started my third 5K my weak me wanted to give up before 5K but all of a sudden I had run 2K and told myself that it is only 3K left and then I got to 3K, see only 2K and it was 1.5 and 1 and then I managed

It was suppose to start raining around 2 pm but it actually started earlier and for a short moment I thought that I might cut the distance but I didn’t mind this rain either and thought that it would stop later on.

When I got to Skillinge I saw a orange marker and was on my walking part when Wille showed up and wondered if I had given up and I told him no, just am walking my 500 m. He continued to Borrby Strand where he would meet me. I saw these yellow markers in plastic but felt that something was wrong when I would continue on the car road, turned back where I saw the last orange marker and when I turned down to the right there the next orange marker, when I crossed the street I missed it but then I was on the right path again. Felt nice when I had run at the side of the road and crossed the road and got closer to the water again

Now I started to get tired legs and have to mentally pep myself not to give up til I reached 20K to have my 500 m walk again. Checked where Wille was and thought that I was close and started to run before I had walked 500 m but it turned out it was a bit more.

Interesting was that the route continued on the beach but I had to take a detour because it was some branches in the way and I didn’t want to get wet shoes.

Here it was a heavy upwind plus it is tougher running on the beach and had to walk again, thought that I saw Wille and started to run again. Found out later that he had not walked down the beach.

More flatter run this time but close to the water which I liked a lot.

The mandatory swim in the ocead, was cold

Pulse Based Interval Training

#29 – 50 runs in 100 days – Summer edition

I have worked from home today and during the day the sun was out and I was looking forward to do my pulse based intervals with a blue sky and sunny. The original plan was to do hilly intervals since I do not have a pulse belt at the moment, I ordered a new one and it could take up to 8 days. To my surprise it knocked on my door and my new pulse belt was delivered 🙂

So of course I had to do pulse based intervals

Later it was grey and heard it was raining north from here and was hoping that it wouldn’t start raining here.

Temperature was 19oC (66.2F) and when I was stepping out on the balcony it felt a bit cold but decided for shorts and t-shirt but also brought two water bottles in my water belt.

During the 2K warmup it was drizzle but felt nice, not too warm, cooling down the temperature a bit and further up I saw a bit lighter sky 🙂

IMG_5252_170727

Tonite it was back to normal pulse based intervals, the first interval felt tough, felt that I was going on max and was at 154 for a longer time but then got up to 157 (my threshold pulse is 160).  Difference now was that I could be at 158 and not get to 159 soon after that, that has happened lately. The first interval always feels the longest, I guess it is because you have 3 more to go.

Nice with 2 min rest where I walked and took a picture of those lovely sun flowers. I did have any money with me and even if I would it would have been difficult to run around with them 🙂

Second interval felt tough too, was at 152 for a longer time but then ended up at 157 and also was at 158 without getting to 159 very soon after that. Did not get up to 160 when I was running up to the school. Have a tendency to do so when it is a hill but know now that I have to slow down and then I am fine.

Rest for 2 min when I walked

Third intervals my leg wanted to come home fast, got to 157 much quicker and at two times I was looking away from the pulse watch a bit longer and saw 160 on my pulse watch and hoped that I hadn’t gone above 160.

2 min rest when I walked and then it was just one more to go.

The fourth interval was tough at the end, tired legs and felt that I was running in tar but finally it was over.

Walked first and then it started raining,  much more than drizzle but it was warm rain so I did not mind, usually I do not like to run in the rain but when it is a bit warmer and it rains in the summer it cools things down.

1K cool down.

#15 – 50 runs in 100 days – No excuses edition

IMG_3383_160210

Today it was time to get out for a bit longer run before my long trail run this weekend.

Even if it is getting closer to Spring it feels like typical Fall weather, it has been raining basically every day this week and I was hoping that the rain had stopped by the time I was going to run. It looked like I was lucky but when I walked out the door I realized that it was raining. I was thinking Oh no don’t say that I am going to be soaked.

Turned out it was not so bad. It was just drizzle a tiny little bit.

The pace today was slower and it was just to like the situation. Temperature 5oC (41F).

It was just nice to get out for a run.

This morning it rained and I hoped that it wouldn’t rain the whole day.

Then it was time for me to head out for a short run.

Temperature: 7.9oC (46.2F)

A bit grey but no rain when I started and a good pace 🙂

Then  it started to drizzling, just what I needed 🙂 but eventually it stopped.

Around 2K I was met by upwind, it seem to be a ”take the bull by the horns” day. That takes out the strength in u. The pace decreased and then when the upwind was gone it slowly got up again.

Just before I finish this route I have a longer upward slope but I didn’t loose any pace and then I could finish strong!

Great to see those numbers under 6 again!
