Weeklyish Running Update: Three Standard Runs AND some new Asics!
One thing about just having had as near a full working week as I've had in 5.5 years is that I've also had a dearth of free time.
And when I'm time-short for some reason I find running just easier to do than circuits, it's just subjectively less effort, even though I tend to run for longer than I'd typically spend on a circuits session.
So I did three runs this week:
A long-ish run last Sunday, then a standard 5K round my usual circuit and finally some intervals...
Sunday's long run
I really enjoyed this...
It follows some of the local 10K the local Couriers do once a year, it's a great route, a few hills, beautiful country side, along the river for a bit. Nice route to be out on a nice cool spring Sunday morning, can't get much better TBH!
Tuesday's 5K
Faster than usual I am happy to say!
I opted to head into the local industrial estate to mix things up a bit, so ended the 5K just before a nice straight street that happens to be... 400 metres long so I added on this...
I regretted it about half way through, I set off too fast, but managed to hang on to the end.
Friday's intervals
Warming up first then 4 proper paced ones - you can tell I was feeling it in the last 400. The last two were around the 3.45 mark per KM on average, I'll take that!
Not so fast, but happy to get them in!
And some new running shoes...
I opted for the usual ASICS - before the run, with the tag on, these showed up this morning, my first new pair in, crikey, about 2 years!
And after - yes it was drizzling this morning!
Not sure what's going on with the leg colouration there... red thighs and white calves, maybe it's because I'd just done intervals and the quads had had a workout, they were burning a tad, that's where I felt it!
Next weeks plans...
I am tempted to stick to the three runs, I'm feeling it again now that winter is over and I'm even tempted to build up those long runs again, we will see how it goes!

The weather has been a bit mixed lately. Those looks like good workouts. I have to say that I do enjoy my long Sunday runs. They give me a chance to explore. I just can't match your intervals pace. My legs don't want to move that quickly even on short stretches. I am looking to do more of those workouts though.
Enjoy the new shoes. I seem to buy some about once a year and the old ones are done by then. It's not too expensive as an activity and I don't have a gym membership.
!BEER
Intervals work for me, it's good to mix it up, you just have the get them in, but any running is good.
I should have bought new ones a while back!

Dude you are back to 5 days working a week again?
But I get what you are saying...I went an extra day to school a week this year and it is not 'heavy' at all, but indeed what you say...there is less time for everything else and that is complicated sometimes.
Good shoes though!!
It's more like 3.5 but then a day volunteering - so getting there! May as well work while I still can, suits my mood atm. New shoes help!
Nice ASICS!!
Though I have to admit I feel a little bit cheated as I clicked on the article thinking I was going to read about some miners :-)
Is that a brand name for miners too then...? I had no idea!
Ha! Not a brand name.
Many proof of work have moved over time from being mined with CPU's/GPU's to being mined with ASIC. Application-Specific Integrated Circuits.
These are designed specifically for single task and are therefore much better at it. They are basically the reason why no one uses CPU's/GPU's to mine BTC (and other crypto's) any more. They are a must have for certain types of mining.
The weather of our country at that time is also going like this, sometimes it is cold and sometimes it is hot, but in this way, all of us must walk and run, it will keep our health good and We will also be free from diseases.
