Last trail race of the year. It was a goodie.
Would be pretty cool to be able to get an all time receipt. Or even year to date. @vm any plans in this direction?
Ran a trail race on the weekend, which I haven’t done in a very long time. It was a short snappy 16km route. Well it had a 6km climb at the start…got the W. Which was very nice.
Every person who finished the Cape Town Marathon in a pair of adidas, was given a pair of Pro 3’s. 🤯.

Or you could choose Boston 12s. Naturally I went with the AP3s.
And there it is. Work in. Work out.
Charts are looking Bullish for Cape Town Marathon in two weeks. The goal pace is finally feeling realistic. It has taken a lot of long speed work sessions to get to this point.
Another quality marathon specific session in the bag…the niggles are holding as niggles.

Some sharpening coming up. Hold you M’fing niggles, hold!
It was a busy week last wee. This week looking much the same.
The idea with the progression long run is to run at goal pace when you are already tired, getting the body and mind prepped to be hurting but still moving at a good clip.

It works. The last 10km took a lot of focus, but it has built the confidence.
Building towards that marathon pace…it ain’t easy being breezy…
And this is what it looks like. Can very much recommend this at any pace bracket.

Also the AP3s are 🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼.
Off for my first Canova session. Don’t worry I didn’t know what it was either: WU then 14 x 1km alternating under and over marathon pace. (7 hard 7 less hard). CD.

Also new Adios Pro 3s got me feeling pretty excited.
Finally got my legs back. 6 x 1500m @ around 3:30/km pace. Plus for the last one I finally ran a mile attempt for @tombornal …managed a 5:30. (This was all on road, pavements, crossings etc. but early morning so not too busy)
I just won 140 $DEGEN in Gate of Degen!

@degengate
This one felt shitty…until I wolfed down a chocolate…then felt much better.
Down week before the next few big legs up. 7 weeks of work before Cape Town Marathon. LFG!
Im a sucker for good colourful things…so I just minted my 1/1 Soulbound at basecolors.com/soulbounds
Had planned a fun fartlek session today…but legs were saying it wasn’t going to be quality. I ran an easy hour instead. What’s your thoughts on this?

Two schools:
1. Good to run hard on tired legs.
2. Listen to your body and give it a day so the quality can be proper quality.

My FIDTONE is #1E63E2 check yours in this frame 🎨🫶
Still feels good getting a receipt.

This run was hard though. 20-30km at 4min/km.

Still much to be done.
