Really enjoyed Thank Goodness You're Here - it's been a while since I plunged deep into a world full of absurdity, amazing voiceover work and slapping the living daylights out of almost everything possible.
Just a few hours long game, but it provides the player with an immense amount of humour.

Whoa, below zero run today! I guess that's the main reason why HR was on the lower side even though the pace wasn't the slowest.
Was unusual to get in the park and see plenty of frost, everything a bit foggy... Until the sun properly came out and started blasting rays 😉

Perfect day to test out the gear for "coldest weather" - worked out like a charm, happy to have a set of clothes that will work out when the cold snaps.
Also - you can tell from the map that there was a massive puddle in the park - had to use the outer perimeter instead.

Decided to increase the intensity of today's run and made it 20 minutes around threshold pace. Felt manageable, tempting to give that a go on a 10K distance maybe?
Wasn't as cold as yesterday and I avoided rain, so that's a win. Had to fight with myself and getting out tho 😅

Bit chilly today, innit? Four degrees outside, long pants were in order - for the first time in ages! Thankfully no gloves needed yet.
A proper base run, HR was low, temperature probably helped with that a bit. Felt really good, can't wait for tomorrow - it's a bit quicker!

Went to Roby to get some #squadrats done on my Sunday Long Run - it's a really nice neighbourhood, plenty of large houses, well maintained greenery and all that.
Colder days are coming, but today's sun was making it easier, fully enjoyed it.
Now to recover & have some food!

Today's weather is what I call "for connoisseurs" - wet and windy, thankfully not too cold.
I'm always more in awe of people who do run streaks on days like these - it takes some proper discipline to go outside and move in this kind of environment.
Base run, woo!

Does it bother you when your run is not rounded up? To me it doesn't really matter, I did the time/distance I wanted to do, run finished, moving on.
Today was a Threshold run, 16 minutes at HM pace. Great weather, I think it might've been the last warm morning for now...

I think it got replaced because I ran Tempo today - it's been removed completely and instead I have a Threshold session.
I prefer to have a bit more solid structure, but I really want to give DSW a go... wish I could tell it "OK, I'm following your suggestions, but increase the intensity by 20%" 😅

Same as yesterday, only difference was +2 to HR - and that put it into Tempo category 😅
Garmin is fickle - also the fact that it changes the suggestions for upcoming runs is draining a bit. Starting to think maybe I need to pick up another Daniels' plan instead...

I know, I know... Garmin said 34 minutes, but I wanted to do just a bit more... Still kept the HR low, effort got added to Base, I'm quite happy!
Lovely weather this morning, plenty of sunshine and good vibes all around 😎

Gonna use that healing bed
But it's far away, on Medical
Oh right, there's one on Reactor too
Let's go to Reactor then
Get out of the elevator
Almost massacred by a mecha-enemy

It was a cool Sunday run - actually, temperature-wise it was alright, but it felt like a nice time outside.
First part was helping out my wife being a backmarker for her 5K Garmin plan finale - she ended up with a solid result, happy!
After that it was just following my DSW.

10 hours of playing System Shock (Remake).
Sometimes I feel lost while exploring the Citadel Station, made like a maze to screw with people. You're squishy, resources are finite, so you need to be smart.
Just fought my first "boss fight".
Loving it so far. Hope I finish it.

Woke up quite early, went for the usual base in the park. Garmin added 4 extra minutes, I still kept the HR low.
Is it slowly changing? Am I slowly improving?
Probably too early to tell 😅

Did some exercises yesterday that are new to me - I definitely am aware of some muscles that I had no idea existed before 😅
But the running goes on and today the main course was 16 minutes of 10K effort. Felt good, but legs were a bit heavy.

Did some sprints today, but Garmin decided to put it into the Base category - won't complain much, because I'm lacking in that 😅
Still, was nice to obtain ludicrous speed for a fraction of the time - makes me wonder what would my best mile be now...

Petzl Actik Core 450 - don't use it for running much, but I take it with me when going outside and some areas are dark. Works like a charm.
Not sure if this model is still made, they might've updated it with more lumens.

Warm morning run, 30 minutes of base effort. Was happy there was no rain, the MSN weather radar worked well (while the BBC was fear-mongering a bit).
Any good weather related sites anyone checks when considering going out? For me it's the BBC/MSN combo.

Started playing System Shock (2023 remake) and I'm enjoying it so far.
It's crazy how the cyberpunk is just oozing from the levels, music, sounds... very impressed with what @nightdivestudios.bsky.social have cooked up.
Looked up original gameplay and man, wouldn't be able to play that 😅

That's a wrap on my long run.
Had a proper breakfast a bit late and I felt it while being outside. Don't worry - haven't barfed, just burped a bit. Should've made that porridge straight after waking up. Lessons learned!
A squirrel cut my path on the Loop Line. Unexpected.

I've read "Feet in the Clouds" recently, by Richard Askwith - it's a highly readable look at fell running in the UK, combined with the author's attempts to complete Bob Graham's Round, interviews/biographies of sports legends, and a month-by-month insight into fell running events.
