-1 Celsius Tuesday threshold run popsin park

 It felt warmer at popsin than on top of the coulee, -1 Celsius Tuesday threshold run popsin park


I get running with Dixie a threshold run.

🏃‍♂️ almost 4 km and 35 minutes.  I actually ended it short cause I didn’t want to double back on my run at the end for 3-4 minutes 🏃‍♂️ 



My average heart rate was 164 bpm in zone four for most my run in a heart rate variable.


My warm-up and cool down didn’t exactly meet any zone one or two for very long. It was definitely a threshold holder on..


I was supposed to do a cool down for 10 minutes, but I just did seven minutes and a half.  As I said for warm up and cool down, it was intense for me.


How a threshold looked for me with walking and running. 🏃‍♂️ 


Dixie climb to 31 for the leadership board for March.  She is doing great. 😊 


After a run, I pull her close to me to take a photo not very many photo opportunities on the run just trying to keep up with the threshold.

But at the end of the run, I took a quick two photos.


Says it’s minus one, but I felt a lot warmer and pops Park and I was sweating a lot when I go on the van I put pull down all all the windows 🪟 in the vehicle 

🚗 




Dixie sleep quality is great but her sleep interruptions is quite a lot 71 sleep interruptions For an average week.


My heart rate was climbed up to 176 bpm for a part of the run, which was a max.  Runtime in the stats was exactly more than double of my walk, which makes me feel good with this threshold and usually it’s just half-and-half.




Idle time sitting on the bench or picking up two dog poos was about two minutes and 17 seconds I sat at the bench frequently for about 15 to 30 seconds to stretch out my calves so I wouldn’t get shin splints

And to relieve a little bit of muscle pain in my shins and feet.

👣 



I had some drills today I was doing in my run, each to improve my posture while running, I watched a short 3 minute clip for 1/2 hour watching the technique and writing down different drills to try while running to relieve some of those muscles in the run. 🏃‍♂️ 


Over all my maximum on running was running within my pace range, it definitely does know my limitations where I can build on my training. With out going in zone 5 and staying in zone 4 which was the threshold for bpm.  A good coach, 

Looking forward to Kim and my walk tonight will try to add more later today to add to the blog with Kim and I run. 🏃‍♂️ 

It sounds like you had an intense and productive threshold run with Dixie! Here’s a summary of your run:


- **Date:** Tuesday (March 18, 2025)

- **Weather:** -1°C, felt warmer during the run.

- **Distance:** Almost 4 km

- **Time:** 35 minutes (shortened run to avoid doubling back)

- **Average Heart Rate:** 164 bpm (mostly in zone 4)

- **Max Heart Rate:** 176 bpm at one point

- **Warm-up & Cool-down:** Did not stay in zone 1 or 2 for long; 7.5 minutes for cool down instead of 10.

- **Dixie's Leadership Board:** Climbed to 31 for March, doing great!

- **Idle Time:** Approx. 2 minutes 17 seconds for sitting/stretching.

- **Sleep Quality:** Dixie has good quality sleep but 71 interruptions on average for the week.

- **Posture Drills:** Worked on running posture by watching a technique clip and trying different drills.


Your training and sessions seem to be on track, especially focusing on posture and maintaining your heart rate within the desired zones. It’s great to hear that you're planning more exercises and walks with Kim tonight. Keep up the fantastic work! 😊🏃‍♂️

Snowboarding week I was well above my weekly range from family day snowboarding 🏂 

Manage to still get some runs in and was above my weekly range

Fell below my weekly range beginning of March 

Another week below weekly range second week of March 

Third week got myself back into consistent training got to keep myself here so I don’t over do it.  And get below average again.  For two weeks

Plus 4 Celsius 6.1 km in a hour 🏃‍♂️

  Dixie and I go for a run  🏃‍♂️ Dixie and I go for a run, redo a hill run down and up again. Kim picks me up after I climb the hill, I called her and asked since I was over my hour mark, originally I wanted to do 9 km in an hour but I managed to do six km instead.  I think it was the hill climb that did it.  I ran fully down hill no problem 😌 We made good time.  For a hill run 🏃‍♂️   It looks like it will be 13 Celsius by noon but it feels warmer in the sun. ☀️  I took a picture by the usual spot that judge where the river is from other years and with that rain the last couple days it definitely looks a lot better than what it was a few weeks ago Dixie went off leash for a bit and went to the river. Must’ve been cold. I think for April water dip. I managed to bring my VO2 max up to good 😊 today, it’s the first time I’ve put it in the green since owning my second Garmin. So my goal right now is to get an endurance score over 5099 To move past ...

Walk mid October with my Mom

  Walks with my mom The water looks like glass just crystal smooth.  My mom and I are walking to the river and in life. It’s like we’re always walking away.  Getting closer to the end, my poet mind says.   I say I got to enjoy these walks and I was silent most the walk just trying to enjoy 😊 my time with her. Or walk end more so with 🐾 paw printed pants 👖 from dogs jumping.  We say maybe a dozen dogs 🐕. A wonderful time.  I often thought it was too early to spell like alcohol.  But surprised to pass another walker, but each to their own I probably smell like an ashtray. Although I never smoked or chewed tobacco on my walk.  I just want to walk with my mom.  Often times I don’t think I could spit out everything I wanted to say so much so that I just said in these moments you don’t have to chew tobacco and say anything. Dixie and both us individually by the fallen tree arch. A path going to the river, under which most the trees 🌳 there are...

Walk and a run in to the vet

 Another adventure for Dixie,  she is an expensive dog….🐕 We enjoy 😊 our walks. Up top of the coulee you can see the university  Sonny and I go walking the south side dog park,  it tricky terrain for sure.  It’s nice 😊 for the scenery I think, yet a bit treacherous at times.  A person has to be careful let alone a dog 🐕 being careful. Here is Sonny and I smiling giving a thumbs up to the camera 📸  The walk was decent though some difficult 😞 parts for today, Dixie is on a 14 day hiatus from walking.  She’ll probably want to go sooner rather than later. I think we’re stuck to just five minute poop 💩 walks than the hour or two hour walks we usually do. I’m unsure when it happen but my guess is near the end of the walk when I noticed it. Dixie gets to close to the bushes today, I kept looking her over but noticed a different spot on her at the end of our walk.   Dixie goes through some bushes and gouged a piece out of her. Now Dixie has th...
