Did a long walk with the dog this morning. Coincidentally, my usual running route is great with the dog as well.

He is soooo tired right now

I'm now watching the last kilometers of the Rotterdam Marathon on TV.

Even Paddy the Irish mutt got a bit tied of running in soft sand. Here we are hoping that over there yonder, we would find the gravel road we should have been on. I was paying too much attention to #RAAAD and The Doors than the map.

Tomorrow got to be an early start, as we are forecasted 21c, which is just too hot for mutt and human to run in.

First run in Portugal and spring has arrived to us. A run down on an ancient stone road and back up. I'm sure bum and calves will soon tell me how "good" this run was.

Paddy the Irish mutt is standing in the foreground with his tongue out, a ickel a Penny the Spanish Podenco looking the same direction in the background. They are both look out at the flat Portugal stretching out for miles. Blues skies and my not so impressive running stats written on top

@atoponce Thank you very much for sharing
This commemorates Peter Greif, winner of the 1984 #marathon for Fat People in 2:33hr, organized by Manfred Steffny. He is the older brother of Herbert Steffny, who won Bronze at the 1984 NYC Marathon.
Peter Greif was one of the best marathon trainers and his training plans are still used today. Unfortunately, everything is in German.
If the sub 3hr are in you then a trainer like Peter Greif would squeeze it out. #running #RunnersOfMastodon

A natural enemy of trail runners, hikers and mountain bikers.

In the forest: A harvester pushes a large trailer full of tree trunks up an incline. Both with heavy chains. You can see the rutted ground in the foreground. A sign on the right: “No trespassing until May 31”. Bright blue sky.

I dumped my coach in November, mostly for financial reasons, but also due to the fact that he's anti-data and anti-tech. He's very much a pro-RPE acolyte. It doesn't vibe with my math and data analysis brain.

I'm #running the Chicago Marathon this October and will be following a power-based training plan by Steve Palladino. His plan includes V̇O₂ max workouts, supra-threshold, sub-threshold, HMP, MP, and lots of easy running.

I'm curious to see how my RSB falls out.

Here is my running stress balance while coached. This is found by scoring each run with a stress score, finding a rolling 7-day average ("fatigue"), a rolling 42-day average ("fitness"), and calculating "fatigue minus fitness".

Notice the time spent in the Maintenance band of training versus the time in Productive.

This is frustrating, because hiring a coach is expensive. I want to see progress, but it didn't happen, and I now know why.

From Dec 1, 2022 to Dec 1, 2024 I was coached for attempting a sub-3 hour marathon. My PR up to that point was 3:21:31. However, the best my coach could get out of me during this time was 3:12:09.

As the training was progressing, I was skeptical that he was pushing me as hard as he could. Many of the workouts, while challenging, were achievable.

I tried suggesting adjustments, such as V̇O₂ max workouts and running doubles, but they fell on deaf ears.

Nach früher Morgenrunde mit Hund durch kalten Nebel laufe ich 10 km bei lockerer und doch besserer Pace als vor einer Woche. Der Puls bleibt trotzdem ruhig. Ich bin mega zufrieden damit. Es gibt einen Weg aus dem Winter-Tief!
10,1 km - 1:05:45

Ein nebliger Weg, der von einem Zaun und spärlichen Bäumen gesäumt ist, mit frostbedecktem Boden. Auf der linken Seite ist ein Hund zu sehen, mit einer gedämpften Sonne, die im Hintergrund aufgeht. Die Atmosphäre ist ruhig und kühl am frühen Sonntag-Morgen am Rande einer Schrebergartenkolonie

Today’s workout:
10’ rowing (more like 12, I’m getting better)
30’ strength
20’ yoga

Goal is to run 30 min the next few days, add some more yoga to the mix, and prepare my body to catch up so the knee thing doesn’t flare up again and I get to 10k again. Good?

This trail follow the railway that goes along the valley, goes around the mountain through a tunnel, just to get to Claveisolles train station (unfortunately closed nowadays)

It keeps going up and down, passing under train bridges, quite technical

I did a relative short run today with the dog. I’m not sure he felt tired afterwards, but running with me is going quite well and I think he likes it. Still I need to wait for him sometimes, so pace was a bit slow. For him as well, must be a zone 1 run for him. He sleeps right now, but that’s normal around this time.

A portrait close up of a big, black hairy sleeping dog. On top of it is the following: 5,12 km distance. 35:37 duration. 11/02/2025. Leiden.

A question about my Nike InfinityRN 4 GORE-TEX.
(Sorry I didn't clean them, I just took a picture right after my run ).

Do you think it's time to buy a new pair? I don't know how many kms I ran/walked with them.

Finally some sun during my run! It has been way too gray and rainy the last few weeks. After helping my girlfriend with her couch to 5k training and taking out the dog at same time, I did my own Sunday long run. Nice and easy.
