"Offseason" Week 1 (10/18-24) training review: Total time running 8 hours, 47 minutes Total elevation gain 2,831 feet Total distance 58.7 miles ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Sunday: debuting my new pair of Xero Prios from @xeroshoes . Zero-drop with a thin sole. You can really feel the surfaces that you are running on in your feet, a great way to get back to be completely present and to also strengthen my feet and legs with complete full range of motion. This was my first run on the Putnam Greenway since paved. I like it. ○ Monday: rest 🛌🏽 ○ Tuesday: back out on the Putnam and through Kingsbridge ○ Wednesday: around Bronx Park, up to Van Cortlandt on Mosholu Pkwy and around the Jerome Park Reservoir. I saw this "❤ Bronx" drawn on the sidewalk in Kingsbridge. Very nice. In NYC, there is no other place that I would want to call home than the Bronx. ○ Thursday: long run back on the trails. OCA (Old Croton Aqueduct) trail up through Van Cortlandt and Tibbetts Brook Parks to Yonkers Ave, then back to Van Cortlandt on the South County and onto the Putnam. Over to the XC, Cass Gallagher and the other trails I have grown to love running in the back woods. Quiet and peaceful 🙏🏽. ○ Friday: rest 🛌🏽 ○ Saturday: tested out the Xeros on some gravel trail and hit some Riverdale and Kingsbridge hills. I ran through a Manhattan College XC team workout in the back hills of Van Cortlandt and it was cool to see them pushing it through the hills. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Offseason is in quotes because road Marathon season is done for me and I am not training for any specific race. I am just training for health and fitness, while getting my trail climbing legs back. I am mapping out new long run routes and have many plans for the upcoming winter. There are always levels above where you're at, you just have to want it and go get it. #bronxrunners #runuptown #runwestchester #runthebronx #runnyc #strava #stravarun #garmin #garminforerunner645 #offseason #newbalancerunning #xeroshoes #altra #altrarunning #zerodrop #minimalistrunning #runningastherapy #basebuilding #autumntraining #autumnrunning #brainrecovery #recovery #cardio #strengthbuilding https://www.instagram.com/p/CGxRWn4nE-m/?igshid=c2x7w6d4idov

Kunde inte missa chansen att vinna denna utmärkelse på GARMIN, skulle kanske tänkt till och tagit löpturen innan grillmiddagen, 5 km på tunga ben i värmen trots sen timme 🏃🏻‍♀️ #garmin #garminforerunner645 #globalrunningday #loverunning #runforfun #saucony #running #runnergirl #runner #instarunner (på/i Rindö, Stockholms Län, Sweden) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByVz_AdHAxq/?igshid=nsq6ozui31ug

A little water, a brush, some old newspapers and one or two nights in a warm room. Good as new. 😉 Do yourself a favour and don't throw your high tech running shoes into the washing machine. ▪▪▪ "2019km in 2019! (Run)" - our Garmin Connect group to join. Let's do this together!

Somehow going for a run with an empty stomach always feels good. 😀👍🏻Although today's run was quite challenging - take a look at the last photo- I'll definitely have to do this more often. ▪▪▪ "2019km in 2019!

Yeah, that illness bothering me for the last two weeks was a setback, I'm 85km short of my schedule. But there are plenty of days left till December 31th, time to pace up. ▪▪▪ "2019km in 2019!

Damn it, damn it, damn it! My battery died after 7 km. Does running even have an effect without recording it?! 😂 ▪▪▪ "2019km in 2019! (Run)" - our Garmin Connect group to join.

The first run after a break is always the hardest. But it's a run nonetheless and therefore the best one could do. 🙂 Today's run was somehow disappointing because it was harder and slower than usual at the same time. But I was satisfied in the end because I simply did it. I ran instead of waiting for some sort of "good mood". The next one will be better. 😉 ▪▪▪ "2019km in 2019!

No running today. Instead snowboarding for the first time since 3 years. Very cloudy but loads of fun nevertheless! ▪▪▪ "2019km in 2019! (Run)" - our Garmin Connect group to join.

Starting slow and short after a few days long break because of being ill. But I don't want to search for an excuse either so I had to start again. 😉 #2019kmin2019 #2019km2019 #run2019 #runninglog #run4health #run4yourHealth #2019goals #running #runner #nopainnogain #beatyesterday #garminconnect #garminforerunner645 #forerunner645 #forerunner645music #run4fun #runhappy #runforfun #runforfun🏃 #runtoinspire #germanrunners #runningmotivation #zippelsläuferwelt #laufenisttoll #langerlauf (hier: Schleswig-Holstein, Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt_6NBiAMDL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1o6c6q88i1m0n
