Another Running Update

January 29, 2025

Aims for the next few weeks: get that long slow run happily over 90 minutes, but don't worry if that's only 9 miles. Get my average time for 3.5 / 4 mile runs much closer to 8min mile pace...

This was something I said last week (see for yourself here)

I know it was only a week ago, but I need to revise already as at the weekend I went for a nice run that was 90 minutes. The pace was, as expected, slow but I felt like I could have carried on and I think that's what a Long Slow Run may be for.

I don't think my shorter run average pace is at 8 minute miles yet, so that's still a target for the end of February but with the LSR I'm going to say 100 minutes and 10 miles.

Actually, thinking about it, 100 minutes and 10 miles probably still fits into the "happily over 90 minutes" mark. So, as you were!

As an aside (or a different point completely) - I need to set up some .env type things for this little generator. It's a pain moving from Mac / Herd to Ubuntu / localhost at the moment. My generate-site script doesn't work. Easy fix, I just need to get round to it!
