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.

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.

I completed another easy recovery run here in Barcelona. Running in this city is fun as there are always so many people running on the streets after a workday. While I’m still a tourist in Barcelona, it is great to experience that I can run through the city without using a map.
With only 6 hours of sleep last night due to an early flight to Barcelona this morning, my body didn’t recover well after yesterday’s 12,8-kilometer long run. So for today, I only completed a 15:00 minute recovery run on the famous Avinguda Diagonal. I trained intending to keep my average heart rate below 130 bpm, which I successfully achieved.
