That's a relief. I was feeling terrible in comparison.

A surprisingly good base run for me today. Not sure what I did to get so much zone 2 in. Guess I managed to just barely hang in the top end for the run.

Yeah I also struggle to stay in zone 2. Wednesday is my slow run day, will post a more accurate reading then

Are there no pavements there?

It varies. In places, yes, but many sections have plants, ground cover, rocks, little fences, etc. Impossible to run on a pavement there.

Definitely morning, I'm an early bird Also, races are in the morning, so it makes sense to train in the morning. In the afternoons I'm usually cooked, no energy to go and run

Because you said I should start doing training....

It will change your running forever

I keep it very simple, as I have learnt that if the routine is very long I tend to eventually skip exercises and then do it half-ass.

At the moment I do push-ups, barbell curls and burpees. Then legs it's the following 3 excercises:

Nice anaerobic session today. Although Garmin seems to want to kill me with another one planned for Friday.

Onedayonly has plenty of Brooks running shoes for R1900 and carbon shoes for R2900 if you are looking for new shoes.

I thought Garmin was bluffing by showing two anaerobic sessions for this week.

Garmin was NOT bluffing.

While doing the intervals I started to run out of road compared to the previous one. Then I realised the bastard had even increased the duration to 1:00!

I managed to finally get a actual easy run in. Slowly getting some fitness back but man....I really need to get that qualifying marathon in for two oceans but also dont want to get injured.

Garmin had me down for a 1:25:00 long run before I did my anaerobic session yesterday. Thankfully that changed to only 42 minutes. Wanted to get the 10K badge so extended the run. I really should stop pushing the speed once I finally get to the downhill bits. It always pushes me into tempo territory.
