View this post on Hive: Weekly Running Update - WB 11 March 2019
I've moved to Hive, along with most other people, following Justin Sun's takeover of Steem in the Spring of 2020. I believe hive is a lot more decentralised than Steem!
Yeh, intervals seem to suit you and those waves are pretty. That bit about seeing your (4) abs when tensing in a flattering light reminded me of a Micky Flanagan programme this week about Underdogs. It had lovely stories, including Eddie the Eagle (slept in his car eating rubbish so he could spend another month in Italy or Switzerland and do another 6,000 jumps). As part of his experience of being the underdog, as an overweight middle-aged man who hadn't done any training, Micky entered a competition for bodybuilders ... another world! The whole programme was funny in a way that also makes you squirm. Good for you losing weight!
I might have to check that documentary out, although according to my result that's just through i'm apparently top dog in my age category this week...
I'm usually fourth category, but I guess probability wise it was only a matter of time until the three who usually beat me all decided not to turn up on the same day!
Well done!
It's funny if you like Micky Flanagan (I do, a lot of what he talks about resonates with my own heritage/culture) but I wouldn't get a new telly for it 😊
i don't recognise the name, but I'm sure he's one of those people I've seen.
I definitely jeed to get some cardio in my life. It is beautiful how symmetric your interval runs were. I hate arriving to the gym and realizing you forgot something. I hate showing up to the gym without any headphones. Pretty much ruins my entire gym time working out without being able to listen to my music or podcasts.

It was only a matter of time until I had to face the session without a tracker. It did hurt a little, I wanted my heart rate spikes on the hills!
However, I'm also aware that it would just be ridiculous to take a 20 minute round trip back home to go pick it up!
I love intervals as well but feel that I cannot do them outside as my mind just goes all over the place when running outdoors. However, it is definitely my go to session when on the tradmill! I have preferred sprint intervals to hills but I may add them to the mix again! Great progress as it gets me thinking that I need to extend the length of my workout for more endurance but my time constraints make it more difficult.

I did a few speed interval treadmill sessions - my standard is warmup and then 5* decent speed 400M intervals with 400M rest in between.
However, once I get the TM over 15KPH i find it a little bit terrifying, I'm much better off outdoors, and I have a proper athletics track not too far away which helps.
Why does your mind go all over the place, I've never heard that before in relation to outdoor running!?
