Week 18, 19 and 20
Week 18 Thanks to 1st of may 3 day long week-end where i managed 2 runs on saturday and 1 on sunday, weekly workload was decent, although unbalanced toward week-end’s longer and harder runs. I think i am getting a bit bored about z2 training. Since i am in the process of increasing running cadence,…

I use bash with shopt -s histverify on, meaning the command i am pulling out of history won’t be immediately executed. Instead it will be displayed for validation. saved my ass a couple of times when the command i pulled out was definitely not the one i wanted. I am a big shell history user.…

Week 15 & 16
On week 15, except monday’s marathon turned half marathon because of poor fitness, i didnot do a single exercise. Work and family got in the way… On saturday 11, put my Five Fingers on and went for city run, without any route planned. I like these kind of runs where body cannot unconsciously adapt to…

A bit disappointed by fitness level during this…

1st gravel experience
On Saturday i rented a gravel bike, to have a glimpse of what it’s like to ride a good, fully functional bike. My daily commute is done on a Brompton. I can do good speed with it, but i’ve never done more than 25k with it, without much EG. My longer rides (mostly summer family…

back pain, busy week, low morale: recipe for a quiet week. Fortunately i manage a few bike commutes. Weekly load 190. definitely not enough to maintain fitness : i spend the whole week in the blue “fresh” range of intervals.icu fitness graph. The week end with an HM (https://masto.bike/@randomized/116273602974247856) not a z2 one, but still…
