3.15K Lunch Run

#14 – 50 runs in 100 days – Winter edition

Today it was time again for lunch running.

It was a bit sad because we started this lunch running and now Anders ”consultant” who I have run with got a new assignment and is no longer at the Company.

In the beginning it was cold and this icy wind hit my face but at the same time it is very refreshing.

My legs were fast but my body was not in sync but I fighted to keep up the good work. At the end it was not so cold when the sun was coming in the other direction.

Unfortunately no Picture today because I forgot my flipbelt and did not have very good place to keep my mobile.

Distance: 3.15K, time: 19.04.1 min, average heart rate: 151, average pace: 6.03 min/k, max pace: 5.33 min/k, cadence: 180, VO2 Max: 27 ml/kg/min

And some weight loss last week. Have been having two weeks rest from training after the ultra race in December and of course I am going to gain weight but started Christmas Eve with training again.

5.01K Lunch Running

#43 – 50 runs in 100 days – Keep Running edition
#44 – 50 runs in 100 days – Keep Running edition

Normally I am at work on Mondays working and usually run during lunch but today it was ok to work from home because the pope was coming for a visit in the area where I work and it will be crowded and extra security -> train delays among other things. But that did not mean that I would skip the lunch run.

Saturday this week it is the last day of this challenge so if I do two different runs on each day I run this week I will be fine 🙂

So today at lunch I ran my 5K city run around the neighbor hood, had a good pace from the beginning and a bit slower at the end.

Ran with my new shoes and no knee pain and no ache under my feet 🙂

Distance: 5.01K, time: 30.04.4 min, average heart rate: 146, average pace: 5.59 min/k,
max pace: 5.23 min/k, cadence: 176, VO2 Max: 30 ml/kg/min

My 5K run is a bit longer than 5K so I stopped running at around 5K and then ended with front foot running the last meters. It was going to be interesting to see what cadence I would get 🙂

Distance: 0.08K, average pace: 6.57 min/k, cadence: 200, VO2 Max: 24 ml/kg/min

3.27K Lunch Run

#40 – 50 runs in 100 days – Keep Running edition

Since I skipped the lunch run on Monday, me and Anders decided to run today. When I reminded him at breakfast at work it looked first like he had forgotten his running clothes but that was not the case 🙂

So around 11.30 we started our run or Anders got tired of me getting my pulse watch ready so I had to speed up the pace to catch up with him. I had fast legs today and Anders fell a bit behind.

Today I did not forget my flipbelt 🙂

It was very nice getting out for a run, it is interesting to see me in long 2XU tights, long sleeve and fleece, gloves and hat and Anders in shorts, long sleeve and t-shirt.

Gloves and hat went off after a while.

Next Monday it won’t be a lunch run due to the pope visit in the area where I work. I will work from home to avoid delays with trains and extra security etc etc so the lunch run will be another day and maybe Sara might join us 🙂

Distance: 3.27K, time: 19.35.5 min, average heart rate: 144, average pace: 5.58 min/k, max pace: 3.49 min/k, cadence: 178, VO2 Max: 31 ml/kg/min

And next lunch run I will have my new running shoes.

3.15K Flat Run

#34 – 50 runs in 100 days – Keep Running edition

Yesterday I packed my running bag to bring to work.

This morning when I walked down to the train station it was raining and it was Cold. It did not look good.

Part of me wanted Anders to have forgotten his running clothes but no such luck 🙂 We decided at breakfast that we would meet at 11.30 am and when I was looking out the window close to walking down to the basement and change I saw that Anders was in a meeting and still hope that he would say that we had un unexptected meeting but no such luck either 🙂

So I changed and got out and it was chilly, cold, windy and it was also raining and I hate to run when it rains.

I got up a good pace and once again Anders commented that I had smaller running steps than him and still ran fast and I told him, good cadence.

After a while Anders had to stop and walk and told me to continue and I was thinking that he must know that this time I won’t stop and circle around to wait for him, we both are familiar with the route now.

Once again I think that I had a good pace because I wanted to come back fast into the building and get warm. Anders ran in short and long sleeeve and t-shirt and I had long compression tights, long sleeve, windstopper, gloves and buff, the gloves got removed when my hands got warm.

Distance: 3.15K, time: 18.40.8 min, average heart rate: 147, average pace: 5.55 min/k, max pace: 5.23 min/k, cadence: 182, VO2 Max: 30 ml/kg/min

3.30 K Flat Run

#27 – 50 runs in 100 days – Keep Running edition

Today it was time for a lunch run again but Anders had forgot to bring his running clothes so this time I had the pleasure of running with Sara which was a bit nervous at breakfast when she heard she would run with me. I asked her what pace she has and she said around 6 min/k and I told her it wouldn’t be a problem. She thought that I was very fast 🙂 But even if I would have been, it is good to run with a slower runner than yourself and also a faster runner than yourself.

So off we went. Started a bit earlier today. It felt Fall in the air, a bit colder. I thought I would remember the route but did a short detour 🙂

In the beginning we had the same pace and then Sara told me I could have my pace, she knew her way around.

I asked her in the beginning how often she ran but she had just started again.

My legs were faster today so Sara fell a bit behind but I kept an eye on her, made sure she saw me and could follow me even if it was a distance between us and then I ran in some circles before I moved on to get a shorter distance between us.

For her I think it was good to run with me, she probabaly ran a bit faster, she ended up with a pace around 6.30 min/k. I was proud of her.

She was a bit exhausted afterwards.

Distance: 3.30K, time: 20.17.5 min, average heart rate: 142, average pace: 6.08 min/k, max pace: 4.54 min/k, cadence: 176, VO2 Max: 29 ml/kg/min

3.20K Flat Run

#22 – 50 runs in 100 days – Keep Running edition

Today it was time for my second lunch run and not alone this time, premier running with Another colleague of mine.

Remembered to bring my water belt and Anders was wondering why I was wearing it and I told him you never know and I was glad that I had it because I drank a couple of times and wet my hair.

Here we are running on the horse roads.

During the run we discussed running technique, I was running with shorter steps and Anders was running with longer steps and maybe that was the difference. My cadence was perfect today.

A couple of times I had natural fartlek, I ran on the bike road and Anders started to run on the horse road and I decided I would join him, fell a bit behind and had to join him again and then I dropped a water bottle when I tried to put back my mobile phone in the flip belt and had to run a bit faster to join Anders again.

It was nice getting out during lunch time, we ran in the other direction today and a bit longer, I cannot run after work since I have choir rehearsal.

Maybe we will be a little group that run together on Mondays.

This time it was sunny and warm, first time I ran it was windy, chilly and rain in the air, not so pleasant.

Distance: 3.20K, time: 20.01.5 min, average heart rate: 146, average pace: 6.15 min/k, max pace: 4.54 min/k, cadence: 180, VOP Max: 29 ml/kg/min
