30mins recovery run, 2.5 miles, 125bpm avg, can't get HR any lower unless I walk or the terrian is totally flat 🤷

A bit of a grey zone run tbh, avg HR 149bpm but spent most of the second half over 150bpm, slowed right down on the hills but didn't do any walking. Took 2 500ml soft flasks, 1 water, 1 salted water with 2 tablespoons of Maple Syrup but that's only about 27g of carbs for the 3hr run but given my HR - that probably wasn't enough. Didn't bonk but knocked it on the head at 18 miles as to not carry any fatigue into next week's runs. #exercise #running #runstr

How freaky do you have to be to buy some guy's used 'but in very good condition' shorts off Vinted? Added to favourites 67 times 😂 C'mon man. #laughstr #funny

Not sure this achieved much but went out with no set plan of what I was supposed to be doing. 10 mins warm up 5 mins at 6.49mi 90 secs jog 5 mins at 6.47mi cool down Should've been either x2 10 mins or x3 5 mins but overcooked the pace a bit for my conditioning so just did x2 5mins, could've tried the 3rd 5 mins but it may have turned sloppy or not a quality effort/lap. Next time maybe 7.10 - 7.20 mi. Wasn't trying to set a 1km time but Garmin captured a new PR of 4:10. #exercise #running #runstr

Had a bit of knee gyp the other day, not runner's knee kneecap related but on the side maybe IT Band stuff or I've knocked it so taking a few days break from running and did bike today. Never really took the cycling too seriously, more recreation plus exercise, no fueling strategy just water. Could do with adding more strength training tbh but never had a gym subscription. #exercise #running #runstr #bikestr

First attempt at a dedicated 5k, looked at the watch with 0.35 miles to go and thought I was going to die but once I'd finished and walked for 5 mins started thinking "That wasn't too bad" 😂 #exercise #running #runstr

2000lb bombs being loaded onto American bombers at RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire and flying out to bomb Iran, do UK citizens get a say in this - of course not!

The UK government is desperately trying to hide this from you. They are literally putting up tarps on the fences of RAF Fairford so the public can'...

All I see in the UK is construction and building work on greenbelt or farmland. There's an industrial/business park not far from me and they're now expanding it into several acres of previous farmland, the hedgerows and the odd oak trees that separated the fields have all been cut down and bulldozed, want to hear the kicker? A few of the units on the existing business park have laid empty for years. Then there's the sprawling new build housing estates spreading out in every direction of most small towns totally devoid of wildlife and greenery just brick and tarmac with a few square metres of shit lawn and paving for a garden. The amount of speed cameras popping up everywhere is getting kinda crazy as well, not just one or two but several spread out along most routes even B roads that measure your speed from one to the other, if the paedo elites want to roll out their dystopian 15 minute cities - the UK will no doubt be the testing ground. I know wilderness and homesteading is often overglamorised and can actually be a tough life but these new build housing estates are just soul crushing.

Tried to keep it light and aerobic, one of the hills spiked me162bpm but average was relatively low. Just took a bike bottle with water & salt but it wasn't about time/performance/speed. Got 35mph out of it down one of the hills but didn't fancy the Michael Guerra plank move 😂 #exercise #bike #bikestr

Haven't tried running a 5k yet but had another go at tempo; x2 10mins with 90secs breather inbetween. Garmin captured a new PB from the session, probably couldn't hold that 10 minute pace for full 5k though. 5k runners are psycho's though because your brain starts telling you to stop 😂 #exercise #running #runstr

Just been watching a series on YouTube of Paul Sellers making a woodworking bench, every single component was thicknessed, squared up and flattened by hand using a plane, that's a lot of work! Gotta respect those who came before us and used to do everything by hand like pit sawing lumber.

When people think of Snap On tools they think high gloss mirror finish chrome but did you know about 20 years ago they had a range called Eurotools with less chrome and matte finishes more associated with European brands like Hazet. The spanners were good and strong though, they had that dense heavy feel like old Britool & KingDick before the brands were bought out and the quality went away. Many years ago when I used to purchase tools directly off the Snap-on truck quite a lot of the items were actually Bluepoint, in the image the slip grips, air ratchet and ballpien hammer are all Bluepoint. Did you know that VW vehicles which are now considered classics used to come with a Hazet 'roundbox' tool kit? #tools #toolstr #car #carstr #repairs

Didn't care how long it took or how fast I was running as it's about trying to build an aerobic base, the only data feeds displayed on the watch while out were HR & Cadence. There was 682ft of ascent during the run and I wanted to cap my HR at 145bpm so walked on some of the hills, around 3 mins total. Didn't take any water and it was windy af, maybe in better conditions HR could've been lower. #exercise #running #runstr

It's not sexy 💋 There's no stats to flex 💪 But keep stacking some low effort aerobic miles. #exercise #running #runstr

💥 Blast from the past! Just having a game of Lemmings played in the browser via one of those online DOS emulators.

Even if you've only got an entry level Garmin watch like mine - Forerunner55, you can still create a workout on the Garmin App and Bluetooth it to your watch which I thought was cool and didn't know you could do. Created a strides workout and tried it today, loads better than looking at the watch or manually pressing lap. Set it for 20 second strides with 2 minutes recoveries x5, the watch beeps 3 times and then vibrates to start/stop the intervals while also collecting and separating the data, still managed to mess the data up though on the last recovery by manually stopping the session instead of letting it finish on its own. Easy aerobic 6 miles, pace increased to 10:57 min/mile but maintained the 136bpm lower aerobic HR, 171spm avg. So the zone 2 stuff must be paying off. Then some strides, 20 seconds, 2 min recovery x5. #exercise #running #runstr

"Cow farts cause global warming, plebs and serfs will have to stop eating meat, petrol and diesel vehicles must be banned along with wood burning stoves" The Epstein class... Bombs Nordstream and releases half a million tonnes of methane, bombs Iran's oil & gas infrastructure just as they did during the Gulf War, US military emits more greenhouse gases than most countries a year, the elites all own gas guzzling mega yachts, private jets and fly everywhere.

Anyone got hyper-reactive vagal reflexes? If you do I know the feeling well and it's pretty intense. Had it a few times in the past from breaking fingers, severing tendons in my hand and also from standing up quickly and running upstairs with alcohol in my system 🥴🫀 Onlookers would think "Look at that wimp" but the effects of plummeted blood pressure, overwhelming sickness and dizziness emanating from the gut area is x10 worse than the injury pain and you can't just suck it up mentally or use willpower, it's intense for about 10 minutes until everything stabilises. Maybe once you're aware of what it's all about you'll be less susceptible or at least try to counter it before it kicks in by laying down and elevating your legs etc, Wim Hof claims you can control your vagus nerve and autonomic nervous system with breathing, cold exposure and the mind. It's like your body is a Windows OS and the screen just went blue. #physiology #biology #health #mind
