Morning Run: Finding the speed
steevc just finished a 5.52km run, that lasted for 33 minutes.
This run helped steevc burn 390.0 calories.
Description from Strava:
I was out at the pub for a music session last night. Good crowd there including fellow Hivers @anna-newkey and @todayslight. I got home a bit late and did not sleep too well, so I was not sure how I would be for running today. It was a bit damp out there, but I did not let that get me down.
I did my regular hill 'sprints' workout. I have been told that I am not that quick, but I do what I can. On a good day on the flat I can get up to 4min/km for short stretches, but my legs just will not go quicker, so going flat out up a slight hill ought to at least get my heart pumping and possibly get me used to a bit of speed.
I gave it all I could to the point where I needed a brief walk as I started heading back down, but I jogged most of the recovery phase. I am pretty happy with the segment times that are all under 5min/km. I can look back in Strava to see how I did before and I was a bit quicker a couple of years ago, but then I think I am improving again now. That makes me feel good. I am still on a bit of a high from the weekend 10k event, but it seems my time is not on the official results. I had my transponder on my shoe. It does not matter too much as I logged my time on Strava and that is what I will look at. I was able to look back at my previous results on Hive as they all had the tag.
I need to check if they need marshals at parkrun on Saturday. If not then I will be running.
Run free!

297 KCAL burnt. And that's just walking about. 😉
Did you get your heart rate up? I burn enough calories generally, but this makes me fitter.
Probably not. I just hope it burnt the four crumpets off I had for breakfast. 🤣
89 calories each, so maybe not.
Nice job on your run! I have found that I must have gotten more out of the habit of exercising than I thought. Some workouts that I used to be able to do pretty easily are a struggle for me now. Maybe it is just my age catching up with me!
I will have run a fair bit less this year compared with the last couple. It is a habit that you can slip out of. Doing extra runs each week makes a real difference for me, so I need to keep it up through the winter.
!BEER
I still hope that one day I can get a treadmill again so I can maybe start doing some running without embarrassing myself in public! I think if I didn't have to get up at 4 to exercise it might be a bit easier too.
