While I didn’t expect to run today, it was possible (and honestly needed) to take a small break - just enough for 5 km. Marking my 4th run this week, which feels great after these crazy months.
Today the weather was great, beautiful clouds in the sky and a nice 20 C
I decided to blow off some steam and run a little faster than a basic zone 2. While it was by no means a real tempo run (need a few nights of decent sleep before getting into that again) it did feel good just to get some frustration out of my system.
My heartrate is still a little high for this pace, but with some routine, some extra miles and better nutrition that could be back before the end of the year.
For now this week I got 28 km of running and 44 km of cycling so a great first step. Hopefully I manage to add +/- 10% - 20% every week. If things go well I will do a half marathon next week (zone 2) and see how my body responds to that - but if the mind is strong the body should follow 🙏 (hopefully this goes for more than just running)
Have a great weekend!
