Ran 5k on the trail today after work, because people hate trees and they forget the city gets unbearably hot when there isn’t tree cover. So, trail.

It’s about 1k from my house to the trail and 3k of trail.

So those 3k of trail were manageable.

The 1k I had to run from my house to the trail and then from the trail back home were very hard.

Temperature was about 34C not considering humidex.

We really need more trees.

The plan originally had 6 reps of 1 mile at 10k pace on it for today, but to manage this niggly hamstring I amended it to up to 6 reps of 1 mile at half marathon pace (targeting 7:15 per rep, which incidentally was my recent 10k pace).

I got to three reps feeling OK, and figured any extra were a bonus. Just as well as I could feel my hamstring tightening during the fourth rep and so just slowly jogged it home after that. Reps came out at 7:07, 7:05, 7:12 and 7:15, and hopefully I live to run again tomorrow by dropping the intensity and cutting it short today.

Iujuuuu :cwy: primera vez haciendo 5k (primer intento también xD ), muy muy feliz!! También porque podría haber hecho tranquilamente 2k más. Súper contento :AAAAAA:

Distancia: 5.17km.
Duración total: 36.42km
Ubicación: Torrent, Valencia.

Very happy! First time running +5km (also first attempt xD ), very happy also because I could done easily 2km more =)

A spot of garden yoga while it was still cooler outside than in. Then an easy 10k along by the river. Hamstring much better (still a little tight).

Finishes the week a little down on the plan with 41.36 miles (66.57km) run, including a speedwork session and a 12 mile long run, but no tempo session.

Cycled my new bike to #parkrun and back this morning. I understand why people cycle for pleasure now. Full size wheels and gears makes it fun. Took the run steasy (steady/easy) in the heat. Hamstring was at around 90%. I could feel it, but it just felt tight. Some more easy miles tomorrow instead of the planned tempo session, provided it doesn't feel worse over the next 24 hours. Also managed to bag another couple of #GromitUnleashed statues, including the only Shaun.

I was posting daily about my runs, and kinda fell out of that. but I HAVENT STOPPED! Ive been getting between 3 and 5 runs in a week since late May. Ive been doing about a mile and a half including the little warm-up and cool down walks I take before and after.

My Mile pace is down to under 13 minutes depending on how im feeling, and how ungodly humid it is (which it has been the past 2 weeks).

Its tough since I run before my work day starts, but i think i want to start adding some distance. I am doing this mainly for cardiovascular health, but i figure if im doing it anyway, why not try to lose some weight while I’m at it. 3-5 miles a week.. i dont think is going to get that done.

Back-to-back hard days has aggravated my hamstring, so no heavy weights today. I used the 10 minute rule on my recovery run (which was hard going in the heat), and it had settled a bit after 10 minutes. I will probably take a rest day tomorrow though, and apply compression and ice in the meantime.

I wouldn't normally do two hard sessions on consecutive days, but yet another heatwave (with associated health alerts) is rolling in from this afternoon, so this morning was my best chance to get in the week's 12 mile long run.

Planned a route with lots of shade (but also lots of hills) and a couple of #GromitUnleashed statues too.
