My new video is out. Any comments, suggestions, and feedback every welcome 🤗
Finally my first video is out, I know it's not perfect, and I'm new to this camera thing 😭 but they say "fake it till you make it" ☺️
Do your thing Fedizens! Provide feedback, suggestions, likes, subscribe, boost, or whatever you think is right.
I'm going to post weekly (it's a lot of work, much more than I initially thought) so any feedback to get better is much appreciated 👍
Bonus: edited using open source tools!
5 x 1 mil intervals for today. There was a strong headwind and I really struggled to keep up the pace in the last 2 reps.
I also skipped the gels today, and given the weather conditions it was not a very smart move 😕
Some days are just not optional and that's ok.

I run mostly early mornings, because that's the only free time that I have. Here is my nutrition routine for various runs every week:
1. Easy runs: Mostly fasted, I only eat a small banana and about 500ml of water prior to session
2. Intervals/Tempo: Easy run + 250ml soluble carbs + 1 gel after the warm up (about 15-20 minutes in)
3. Long run: 1-2 hours before the workout, overnight oat or porridge. 500 ml water. 3-5 gels + 500ml water during the run.
What is your routine?
After a long week struggling with flu. Today was finally the day to push a little harder 💪
Drop set:
2 x 1km
2 x 800
2 x 600
2 x 400
2 x 200
And finished at 3:25 /km in the last interval. It felt way tougher than usual.
For me 2-3 RPE for easy runs means I genuinely feel relaxed, not breathing heavily at all and I can sing along to a song for example without too much effort. Interestingly that puts me on avg at 6:10 /km pace and avg 130-135 BPM HR. That means there are days that 6:45-7:00 /km feels easy and some days this might be 5:45 /km I really don't care.
I also changed my easy runs watch screen to show only distance or time (depending on the training) and I don't look at pace or HR until I finish the run.
At some point in my #running 🏃 journey I realized there is something off with my 80/20 plan. I was 100% compliant 💯 with Garmin's (and other most popular) HR zone calculations. But I was not progressing towards my goals and experiencing knee and shin injuries ❤️🩹 which I could not explain 🤔
Then I switched to RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion) for my easy runs and then BOOM! 💥 Everything changed. No more injuries, and VO2Max started to increase!
Any similar experiences? How's your easy runs?
What metrics are important for you when it comes to #running? #HRV, #Sleep quality, #RHR, or something else?
I tend to adjust my RPE during my running sessions based on my sleep and awake HRV. If my HRV is above or below my normal range (which is 105-110 sleep and 83-85 awake) I adjust the intensity of the workout accordingly.
What metrics do you monitor and how do you adjust your workouts according to these metrics?
What it takes to run a sub 3:30 Marathon?
The last running plan that I finished this year was a 22 weeks Marathon plan, below are some stats:
Total distance: 1,388 km
Total time: 136:45:16
Strength training: 1,027 sets total
Fastest avg pace: 4:29 /km
Longest run (not race): 32 km
PBs: 5k @ 20:10
I finished the race strong in 3:29:38 as planned with 1.5% negative splits. I was very happy with how the entire race went, my fueling strategy, and everything in between 😀
I'm now chasing a sub 3 hrs PB. Do you think it's realistic?
What is your next race / running goal?
Today's run, 6 x 1km Tempo with alternating pace averaging 4:15 /km
Let's go!

Another easy run done. 11km @6:00 km/min.
It's getting colder every day (-2°C) and my gloves aren't really helping, I need to buy a warmer pair soon!
#RunnersOfMastodon, now is the time to support the *many* runners who are close to reaching their goals for 2026 and can use some last-minute encouragment.
A few examples:
- @pfernandes, who is two HMs away from #52weeks52halfmarathons
- @steveroyle, who just needs 117k more
- @sebastianhahn, who aims at a crazy 10,000k and has a good shot at actually succeeding
There are many more of you out there. (Who did I miss?) #Running, you are all winning!
See you on the next starting lines.
“Heim 6-timers” survived and 58.25 km accumulated. 66 % type 1 fun, 33 % type 2 fun. ;) Hour five felt hardest, but there was something left in the legs to put down fast five minutes before the end. Pretty happy with how the race went: 27 + 27 + 27 + 25 + 23 + 25 rounds looks nicely distributed effort over such a long time.
Now I got some indication why marathoners feel weird after km 30. ;)
Passed the full marathon distance after 4h 14m 40s 💥.
I'm chasing sub 3 hours #Marathon within 1-2 years time. To my estimations I have about a 60% chance of achieving this goal.
Why am I doing it? The simple answer is "challenge". I like to challenge myself, I enjoy working hard towards a goal no matter how far reaching it is. But the real reason is that, I found peace in running, in its solitary, it's my way of meditation.
If you are into #running, let's connect, I love to hear your stories and learn from others mistakes 😁 and achievements.
