Great run in the dunes, with an unexpected encounter.

The nice weather yesterday invited for a long run. 5 weeks to go until Snowdonia 50km.

It's hard to overstate the dedication required to get up in the middle of the cold, dark night to spend a fourth entire day running across England.

I will probably never have this strength of character, but @officehippy does.

Still running.

I have to say, the scenic #London skyline just doesn't get old! After the first day here at #QConLondon, a nice little evening run along the Thames, you almost don't want to turn back

Absolutely not complaining, but definitely a welcome change from my usual #TrailRunning in the mountains

An interesting perspective here and definitely something to think about as you’re plodding along at 13 minutes per mile.

❝As with training frequency, there’s nothing stopping slower runners from fueling scientifically and reaping the rewards—nothing other than self-disqualification, that is.

My beloved Chiang Mai Running Sandals* failed halfway through today's run, making me involuntarily join the #barefootRunnersOfMastodon.

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.

Et bien, c'est juste moi ^^ bonsoir tout le monde #selfie #running #trailrunning

Cachés en pleine forêt, longeant le mur qui sépare ce bois du domaine national de Marly (royal sous Louis XIV) , ils se font un plaisir de défier tout coureur en quête d'un peu de technique pour flamber les cuisses ! #foret #escaliers #domaineroyal #stairs #wood #nature #trees #motivation #pierre #stone #defi #trail #trailrun #trailrunning

Bon je regarde les prix des chaussures et je .

Je regrette ma 1ere paire d'Asics à 60 balles (en 2018)

Du coup j'hésite entre:
* Yolo reprend des saucony à 200 brouzoufs
* tsss tu fais à peine 30k de route par semaine, vas chez Decat'
* finis ta transition en minimaliste et finis de poncer ces 5 fingers (et tes mollets)

Unbreakable 2 #running #ultrarunning #trailrunning

Yesterday was brutal. Bitterly cold start before dawn and straight into a big climb with an exposed summit and a sketchy descent with lots of slipping on the frost. Today….starts before dawn with a big climb Super tired but basically in reasonable shape otherwise. Not too much running happening though. This is a grind. #NorthernTraverse #ultramarathon #trailrunning

An easy run of an hour would have become a 10km pb. That seemed very unlikely to me and it was. My Garmin Fenix ​​7 appeared to be off track again and had calculated 2km longer than the actual distance
An export / import of the GPX recovered the distance but I become more and more disappointed with Garmin. Crashes, wrong distance, there always seems to be something wrong nowadays.

My thoughts to @officehippy who is somewhere in the middle of English night having a lot of fun

Today's beautiful, cloudless #sundayRunday in four pictures.

I managed to find 1000m of elevation gain on my local trails, without any hill reps or retracing my steps. Super slow pace - goal was to run the downhills hard to condition my legs for Eryri descents, then keep the rest in zone 2, so I walked a lot of the climbs.

Training plan here is following Koop's "four disciplines of ultra running", namely hiking, flat running, uphill running, and downhill running. I'm making sure I get a good spread of each.

Amazing to follow @officehippy #trailrunning in the Northern Traverse 300k. Started at 0830 local time yesterday. Go Colin! (#73) https://live.opentracking.co.uk/northerntraverse2025/
