Foolish Runner

What do you think so far of the uphill treadmill sessions?

Plated trainers and runners are crazy good. I use the Hoka Mach x3 for flatwork training - amazing

Another side effect of plated shoes is they have a crazy high stack - so easy on the knees as well

That is a brilliant medal - made me smile

Nice! Glad I could help

Peak week for the training block for Barcelona

This weeks goal was to load up hard efforts and hills and start today tired to simulate the fatigue and effort of a full race w/o the biomechanical stress

Worked

This was a hard fucking run

Held pace but walked the recovery mile

“Have a plan b, things go wrong”

lol love that gif

Had a cracker of a run last night

Was sick and missed some critical runs

Frustrated, I wanted to press a bit and set a PB for 10mi!

1 more long run and then gradual taper

Speed work has been hard and fun but really looking forward to stacking vert and miles after this race

Yea I’m a firm believer in the waking recovery on vo2 max style sprint/interval.

When doing hill sprints I usually do a 15-30sec walking recovery and then a jog down and repeat.

For same reason @doodahdog.bsky.social mentions - get heart rate down so have capacity for hard next sprint

Just want to give a shout out to

@nordictrack.bsky.social

Got one of these for pace and climb training

They aren’t cheap

Disappointed then that my Stryd footpods showed it’s speed out by 9%

Nordictrack sent out a tech who sorted speed till perfect

No charge

Well done Seb!

Almost 40 hours hard graft just to earn a Fun Run

Course wins again

Amazing efforts all around

#bm100

Thanks again for another #bm100

Fire tower and the conditions the runners are dealing with.

Freezing fog and the bone chilling cold these conditions create.

The high moisture content and cold conditions wick away and pretence of warmth from even the best gear

#bm100

Wow - BM is back to roots, runners need to level up

#bm100

30 hours? 1 loop?

Holy fuck - what would that mean for us mere ultra mortals?

Laz ain’t fucking around this year

#bm100

Didn’t see that thanks!

2nd runner in loop 3. Hopefully we’ll get at least one more in next 30mins or so

Laz not messing around this year

#bm100

Pretty large drop in pace between first two loops. Does not bode well.

Wha? Too early for April fools

Have you seen the topos? The vert, the bush, the terrain - oh my

They have almost 5hr left and at it for 11hr. I can’t tell from the dodgy box tracking site what the times were for the first loop?

Agreed - holding out for loop 3

Yea but on valentines? Sneaky fecker that Laz

8 runners on loop 2.

Ooof hard course this year.

Living in Ireland I missed the start, but the best drama is the later loops anyway.

Oh man the suffering

#bm100

Redlining on first lap?

Toast.

Is this “Laz approved legal”? 😂

Cool resource for keeping upto speed

#bm100

Yea I feel like we missed the best bit. I’m only waking up to the fact I missed the start!

Sneaky Laz…

#bm100

Wow really early start for the #BM100 this year

The dreadmill whooped my ass on speed work pacing - wiped

Next week is peak of flat training before start gradual taper leading into Barcelona Marathon in March

Can’t believe im saying this but treadmills are an amazing pacing tool

Love it as a tool - still hate running on it
