That looks much better HR and pace wise for a base long run.

My left knee is still FUBAR so no running for me until Monday. 😭

Tried yesterday and only got 1km in before knee said nope. It's starting to feel better though.

Yeah you see the runna app keeps b@tching at me if I go too fast. 🤣 I am learning slowly.
 
@Crusader Did a 5km treadmill run in the Salomon AG3 this morning! Wow!

Very comfy shoe, it does get a bit warm and i am not 100% sure i'd go running in 35 degree temps with it haha but very comfy and what surprised me the most is often even after my first run i can see some form of compression marks on the foam and with this one there is nothing.

Was a bit of a slow morning on the treadmill but ranged from a 7min/km to about 4:30min/km and i enjoyed it most at the faster speeds

Thanks for the recommendation, was a good R850 odd spent :ROFL:

That's great to hear. I think the beaded foam makes a huge difference in the compression. Mine still feel like the day I got it.

You get used to the warmer upper. I ran in mine in 35+C and didn't have issues. And the GRVL is definitely even hotter. The shoe is so comfy I put up with the extra heat. In the Winter it's actually a bonus.
 
Managed to finally do a 5K yesterday and today. Left knee is still giving issues, it's fine while walking, but after the 1st km of running there's a persistent dull ache at the centre of my knee. Not bad enough to force immediate stop, but you are aware of a twinge at each stride. Not sure if I should power through or give it more time to recover.

HR isn't pretty

Hey, zone 2 is where the magic happens. Surprised the Garmin doesn't beep you into oblivion too.

AS much as I want to ZONE 2, running with a pram makes its impossible unless you do ultra slow jog.

Maintaining these levels arent that difficult now that I am used to more Zone4/5

Running with a pram also means my V02 max reading is incorrect as I run with and without pram so the HR v Speed etc isnt accurate

The downward trend started when I started running with the pram - not phased though feel fitter than ever.

I also find it hard to stay in Zone 2 and I run without a pram. Would need to walk. Maybe just more unfit than I thought :oops:
