I had an activity streak going on Runkeeper, logged something for 136 weeks in a row....it's some how reset to 0 today. Fuming.

No way to contact them to see why?

I have, I left that out of the original post as it could come across as really sad.

Nope it's like my Myzone belt for heartrate monitoring. I've meet the monthly target for 50 months now.
If something went wrong I'd be contacting them straight away

3 day sla on the ticket, hopefully they come back with a good answer.

Ended up doing 5 miles in 45 minutes last night while the youngest was at his Beavers group.
Really last minute decision and glad I did it

Long easy run today, meant to be 11 miles at 12-12:30 pace per mile, freezing, bitterly cold, hat, gloves the lot.

With warm up and cool down ran just over 12 miles, 11 miles was done in 10:32 avg per mile. And that felt slow enough.

I went out after work at 4, just utterly miserable. Cold, dark and wet, not so long ago it was too hot and I was moaning about that. Done 7 miles and sat on the radiator for a bit.

I went out after work at 4, just utterly miserable. Cold, dark and wet, not so long ago it was too hot and I was moaning about that. Done 7 miles and sat on the radiator for a bit.

I started at around 11:45-12:00 min pace for the first few miles, but I was freezing and bored! Despite having my headphones on.

Decided to up the pace, a, so I could warm up and b, get home quicker

 

[Bazz]

Went out again at 4.30, to do another 7 miler.

Wind and rain started half way through, and it got me thinking to what I used to eat when I was 22 stone...the favourite being;

4 sausages
4 fish fingers
Mash
Gravy
Carrots (for the health benefits)

Was probably happier then too. Anyway, went over 1200 miles for the year today.

Yesterday was a Pyramid interval session hit all the reps, last evening pretty hard. Runna recommended that I increase the plan last week and it’s definitely tougher

Pyramid Intervals with Runna

1.25mi warm up at a conversational pace (no faster than 9:55/mi), 90s walking rest

0.12mi at 7:10/mi, 60s walking rest
0.25mi at 7:25/mi, 90s walking rest
0.37mi at 7:50/mi, 90s walking rest
0.5mi at 7:55/mi, 120s walking rest
0.62mi at 8:05/mi, 120s walking rest
0.5mi at 7:55/mi, 120s walking rest
0.37mi at 7:50/mi, 90s walking rest
0.25mi at 7:25/mi, 90s walking rest
0.12mi at 7:10/mi, 60s walking rest

1.1mi cool down at a conversational pace (or slower!)

A 45 minute Hyrox session this morning as well.

Weekly weigh in, 2lb off. Down to 13st 12lb, 8 stone lost (again).

The only problem, the more weight I lose, the bigger my nose looks.

Worst part of these sessions for me is the rest part, I get cold very quickly and want to start running again!

I was very happy for the rests, although I run a 1k loop around a lake. Unfortunately a little uphill with a sharp turn seemed to be the starting point of some of the reps

10 miles in 30 minutes on the Peloton today, was burst after it

 

[PaulMdj]

Hill session today, enjoyed it, not too bad as whole session takes just over 25 minutes.

 

[PaulMdj]

Goal Pace repeats today, 800m x 6 at 8:55-9:15 pace.
Another cold breezy but bright day along the seafront, so layered up again. Just over 58 minutes covering around 5.6 miles.
Was a little disappointed when I compared it to previous same session until I realised the programme had added another interval.

 

[BrianM]

6.7 miles in 1 hour yesterday, felt pretty easy

 

[Paperboy]

Easy long run on the plan today. 9 miles at 10:15 minute miles. Very happy as I struggle to run slowly

Month 12 of 12.
100 miles in the other 11, always a test in December, icy pavements could finish me off.
