I’m aiming to start this week strong with an 8k recovery run. Let’s see how I can progress from here. My goal is to complete three runs this week without feeling injured or fatigued along the way.
Run Log 20250524
This 19-minute run is my easy ‘comeback’ run after 5 days of recovery and zero running. My body battery isn’t yet where I want to be, but at least my legs feel a lot better than they did last Sunday. Depending on how I wake up tomorrow (I have a 50th birthday party tonight), I will go for another run.
52 Weeks – Week 35
I’m collecting 52 songs in 52 weeks. Every Friday afternoon, I add a song to my playlist. The aim is to capture my energy and feelings for that particular Friday with the chosen song.
Week 35/52: I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For – U2
After 52 weeks, I will have recorded all the seasons, holidays, and high and low weeks of the year (from October 2024 to September 2025) in one self-curated playlist on Apple Music. Don’t use Apple Music? Subscribe to weekly updates via RSS.
Pausing my half marathon training plan in week 8
I’ve decided to pause my half-marathon training plan as my body isn’t recovering enough for me to intensify my training. I will continue running to remain consistent over the next two weeks, but will not engage in any intense interval training or long runs. I hope to see my HRV increase and my RHR decrease by doing so.
While I’m disappointed with the current results, this is just the way it is.
