Sometimes we get to do some pretty cool stuff as @theruntesters. Today was on of those days - a masterclass in Advanced Running Metrics with the legend @shane.benzie from Running Reborn. The video (coming soon) looks at how @coros_uk's data can be used to improve running performance, it's going to be good one. Back at the Heckington Show 10-mile for another showdown. Managed a 10-mile PB but it was one hell of a slog (1.06). Two laps around Lincolnshire fields never gets any more enjoyable. Things are looking positive for @londonlandmarkshalf next weekend. One thing I said I wanted to do when I moved to Hertfordshire was to get a kayak and head down the River Stort. Managed to tick that off finally, three weeks before moving. Incredible river for it, wish I'd done it more. The sale-bought inflatable @intex_uk Challenger did a damn fine job as well. Not sure how I got roped into running another 13 miles today, but my legs are paying for it now. A very wet route around Harlow and Sawbridgeworth with the running club crew made slightly more bearable by having people to chat to... no chance I would have left the house today otherwise. Signed up to a looped 6km race today with a maximum time of 6 hours. My plan was to have a nice jog and see how many laps I could do... Ended up getting very bored and doing 4, before heading to the pub. The medal is by far the most unnecessarily overblown piece of bling I own - an intricate twelve labours of Hercules design the size of my head that looks more like I've done an MDS double instead of a slow amble along the side of a canal. Might get it framed. Enjoying the glorious 2021 summer with a lunchtime test of the new @on_running Cloudboom Echo. First run in the new carbon plate racer and so far - aside from the Cloudflyer - it's probably my favourite On shoe for quite some time. Pricey though at £210. Early days and a lot more runs to do, but you can see @theruntesters early thoughts up on the channel. Link in the bio.
