Managed a good amount of steps yesterday, almost 11,000 and virtually pain free. Will take it easy today maybe a few light exercises to strengthen the area #herniaoperation #runningfitness

Been home 24 hours since hernia op, a little sore where the stitches are when bending but painkillers help. Started walking around the house a little too

My last run for a few weeks, got an operation scheduled for tomorrow so will but out of action for some time and a fartlek intervals session was just the ticket. 3 x 8 minutes at tempo with 3 minutes recovery. Tough going today but a good solid workout #running #corosrunning #fartlekrun #runsky

After last week’s lactic threshold and vo2 max tests I’ve been recommended to run more in my revised zone 2(150-165 bpm) to build endurance and fatigue resistance to help in any future races. Today 50 minutes done plus an easy 5 minutes recovery to finish off #running #adidasrunning #runsky #runchat

Going to try and get as many runs in this week as from next Frida I won’t be able to do much exercise as have a hernia op scheduled. Today a steady paced recovery run at the gym #running #recoveryrunning #corosrunning #runsky #runchat

today’s plan was to run at half marathon effort using the revised training zones after the last lactate test. 5k in zone 2 (156-165 bpm) and 9k in zone 3 (166-175 bpm) Hard going on the last 4 km today and had to slow down a few times to keep hr in right zone #running #longrun #corosrunning #runsky

Went out for my first run since having the lactate threshold test, decided to push a little bit more than usual on my easy runs. The guy testing me set my zones to high end of 1 to LT1 and high end of 3 to LT2 and made the other zones quite compact for better training #running #adidasrunning

Today’s run was ok, kept in right zones for majority, couple of times jeffing to make sure hr didn’t get too high although when a car went through a red as I was crossing a road it did spike. Apart from that a good 100 minutes done #running #sundaylongrun #corosrunning #runchat #runsky

To the mini-van driver who honked and mouthed "Get off the road" as I was running today. Look, sir, there was NO sidewalk where I was running, and I ain't running on uneven, rocky ground. I was as close to the curb as I could get. So share the road and zip it! #running #run
