Basically, I was just about off by 1% (0.8% actually). I like this discipline plays. Getting back to my random 100min half for kicks. And yes, Iβve been watching #WCHTokyo25 getting inspired.

Ooof. Long a** day. My long run felt longer than it was? I believe I was just starving by the end. Added i was rushing to get to a πΉπΉ food fest. I treated myself to a self mixed radler w/ my eventual meal. Likely still didnβt make my back my 1600 calories π₯ from this run.

Wrapped up August with a long run yesterday, closing out the month w/ 270km. Iβm still shocked at how intentional adjustments to my training and gym work allowed me to log 800km in the last 3 months. β¨ππΎβ¨
I honestly feel great as I get used to this new cadence/output

π³ A calm, relaxing weekend. Had a long lap after this weekend run for some reason but it was all good, running along the a canal and touching grass. Nothing like a great chat w/ running friends afterwards. Such a big weekend for sunning inspo as well! And you?

ππΎββοΈ another good long run, mix of road and a nice green trail, but as usual Ottawa providing no water fountains. My first sip was ~16k, and it was WARM. Missed the 6am outing. Thankfully hydrated the day/night before. But enjoyed a nice yummy radler later.

ππΎββοΈ very calm run this morning during an absolutely perfect morning to log some mileage. Getting ready for a big track day tomorrow. Plan is to head out VERY early. But had to also treat myself this morning to a classic π«π₯. I can always use the carbs and calories.

Week 6 of 21 with Garmin Coach! π Already seeing solid progress: VO2 max up 2 points, ran multiple 5ks (latest 31:36, which is putting me close to intermediate levels for my age group?), and starting to shed some weight. Loving this running journey! #RunnersInTech #DevsWhoRun #PMsWhoRun ;)
ππΎββοΈ 2:07:00 requested, 2:07:00 delivered. NGL, I was wiped after this one. But I really wanted to run to this body of water to *touch grass*, and did. Closed the month out with 248km (154mi) - a first! Decided for 2 days off (including today) to recoup, Gym time (stretch)

I cannot remember β if ever β being suggested by my watch for a 2hr run, and more specifically two hours and seven minutes. I hate heading out late day, but I might actually wait this out, and let the rain pass.

Big run day yesterday. Didn't wake up w any plans outside of a long run, but as I told a friend last night, it felt like my fitness was asking for some trust

Changed my route AND had my phone (rare), but it was nice to run down some parts of town I've not run through in a minute. Yesterday was a great ending to a very good week: higher mileage than usual, but feel good! On pace for just under 250km for the month (high for me)

Officially my second 5k! π Garmin coach is slowly but surely guiding me. This was a 15 min 5:40/km pace block, flanked by 10 min at 6:40/km. Not fast, but I'm trying my best to show up!
