Fantastically well organised @ilkleyhalf First half marathon race. Really happy to manage a sub-90min. Crowds were amazing. Thanks Ilkley. 👏🏻
First ever half marathon tomorrow. Aiming for 90mins but the second half is a bit lumpy. We’ll see. Also using this to test marathon fuelling strategy. 3/4 gels: 60g of glucose. A 375ml water bottle with 50g of sugar (1:1 fructose/glucose), and 250mg of sodium citrate. Aiming to offset a ~1.5L sweat rate with drinking 330ml at each of the water stations. (I’ve spent some time thinking about this). Hoka Rincon 2 seem to be my preferred shoe these days. They’re light, comfortable, and feel like they improve my running economy more than any other shoe. #ilkleyhalf
Second dose of AZ today. Fully vaccinated now. H+6 and feeling fine. HR is a bit elevated. Slight headache.
Love watching this Denmark team. Quick and precise passing. Great finishing. Not afraid to press against so-called stronger teams.
A European Super League could indeed be attractive and perhaps become one of the most watched and lucrative leagues in the world. I don’t see how you get there without FIFA/UEFA support.
Vaccinated with AstraZeneca at 17h. Fever from ~04h through to ~20h. Finished the evening with fries and falafel. Blewing my calorie budget by 600kcals. This morning I’m 1kg lighter and it’s the lightest I’ve been in over 20yrs!
AZ vaccine applied at 17h. Can you tell when the fever kicked in? Feel exhausted.
Today’s workout was fuelled with 100g of caster sugar, water, and fresh lemon juice. Turns out it’s a bit sweet 🤮 Next time I’ll reduce the ratio of fructose by adding in some maltodextrin to make things a little more palatable.
Shout out to the people running the vaccination operation centre in Bradord today. Very slick. 👏🏻 The guy would delivered my vaccine still had 3 hours left of his fast but was still polite and cheery. 🙌🏻
I’ve just setup a new LG OLED TV, and I don’t hate the UI! Okay, so the UI animations are janky, but in general WebOS is quite intuitive. The remote is much better than the Apple TV’s.
Overwatch related post… I’m done listening to teenagers whine about healing whilst they die. No more heals for you! I don’t care if it sinks the team and my SR.
Morning runs along the Leeds/Liverpool canal.
