How are you starting off your 2025?
Managed a few runs so far, a couple i've convinced my youngest to cycle alongside me in this cold weather which has been nice! Got to get ready for the 50km run in May!

How often will you alternate your shoes, do you do it based on the type of run or just on frequency?

Midweek Tempo, mostly doing long-ish runs at a steady state, with one tempo a week.
Will add some intervals in the new year.

I've been alternating my lunches, last week I had rice with chicken & teriyaki brocolli. This week it's avocado and egg sandwiches on sourdough.
What is your go to for lunch?

Mid week tempo. Working on my volume building, trying to keep a 30mile a week average until May, although i'm sure there will be some set backs with festive period.

Do you stack long runs? Would you do a long run today and again tomorrow?
I did 10 miles yesterday and again today, felt ok, started to feel a little tight in my glute toward the end, but wasn't uncomfortable, just tight.

Long runs, what is your considered time or distance for a long run?
Do you prefer gels or chews? I know its subjective, just curious what you all like.
I take a mix and I like the Veloforte ones, the chews are awesome and the gels don't have any fake synthetic taste

5k tempo today, 8min/miles at around ~160bpm avg HR
Feels like it’s super high when I see folks running 7min miles at 120bpm. But we are all different. I need to stop comparing.

Are you up early training before work or after work?
I'm quite lucky in a sense, I work afternoons/evenings so I get to run in the morning, but it does mean I don't get to do any double days.
