 Just out for a morning jog just a short one five kilometers, and it's just so nice right now 15 degrees Celsius That's like a cool summer day really in Norway, so it feels like a summer actually And it's just so much nicer To run when it's comfortable temperatures Of course if I was doing a hard session this was like this would actually be Quite warm Training is going well Been doing 60k weeks lately This is a bit of a recovery week at about 50 kilometers and feeling good all the little Niggles that I had or injuries really are I've quieted down There's no overt pain And I'm able to To train consistently which is So nice and so what I need to do now is to Stay calm and Don't do anything crazy because that's what I've seen over the years But it's very easy to When things are going well You suddenly You know you get too confident Too excited and you just sort of push a little bit too hard and then you get a new injury or new setback so in order to avoid that I'm going to Be careful and conservative check out the epic view. Let's see it down there There's the track So it's a small track, but that's where I coach the kids and Teenagers once a week Middle and long distance running I was there yesterday at a great time. I love this area. And so yeah, just gonna stay conservative over the next few weeks just try and Get the volume in Keep building the workouts If you follow me on Strava, you can see All the details from my training and you can see my training log there There's a link in the description if you want to go follow me there. And so I'm just gonna Keep building those workouts along with the the overall volume so that So hard to talk while running So that as my volume builds from 60 K to 70 80 90 and eventually a hundred K per week By the by the winter I'll be able to Have the workouts grow with that volume so that my You know, how many kilometers I run each week at threshold and marathon pace Will keep growing as well I'm sort of approaching it as an extended base Face Just trying to get my volume back up to where it was 2019 When I look back at my training in 2019 and in 2018 as well. I noticed that my My progression was very erratic like I would do high volume Very low maybe because I got injured a little bit would be very much up and down and This this year. I'm gonna try and do a more gradual kind of Increase which of course is much better. It means that I'm gonna have a higher Average volume Week to week and month to month over the year Hopefully giving me better progression. I'm in the forest now so So that's the idea just sort of build it gradually And just mostly do threshold and marathon pace type of workouts And some strides for speed But not really get into the video to max workouts or Or be too specific Towards any one goal race. I do have one race though on the calendar Remains to be seen if it actually happens or not of course but It's a half marathon in September all slow in all slow, so it'll be interesting to test my fitness in September and I'll do some dedicated More race specific workouts as I get closer to it But I'm not gonna do like a Like a 12 week specific block Like how I would probably normally do it My main goal is to injury free strong and ready to train like a madman in 2022 and that's also where I'll Do my marathon, you know in 2022 probably in this November 2022, so We got time And we're just gonna build fitness steadily conservatively progressively consistently So I'm gonna leave you with that training is going well Life is good Just cruising along This is literally my backyard Pretty nice a little bit of an update I guess How are you doing?
