The Running thread

I went out for an evening run and I did following 3 things differently: 1) Wore my glasses 2) Went from routes that I never run before 3) Listened to an Iron Maiden playlist.
It felt like time travel! One of my more enjoyable runs in years. It was like if I saw the city for the first time. Glasses helped I guess hahaha. It was wonderful.

Genghis Khan. Start of the run.

Back in the holy city of road running, London. Yesterday I did a 4k loop in south Kensington and today a full Hyde Park loop plus some (10km) before starting my day.
Bought some new shoes, Adidas Supernova Rise (nicknamed Atlas, RIse!) as there are some crazy discounts only 80 USD can you believe it. They are great for travelling as the stack is quite low, less volume in the bag than my Superblasts and can pass as a walking shoe as well.

They are made for easy or steady paces, but they deliver this well and I like this grounded feel in the forefoot after 1 1/2 of running in nothing else than high stacked ASICS shoes.

*This run marked the 2,000km running distance milestone this year. With this pace I'll possibly be at ~2,200km by December 31th. :cheers:

I didn't think I would ever brag for running a 5:44/km 10k but there you have it. Went yesterday in the stadium close to my old apartment, joined the team and run without stop for 10k straight.
I was wearing my beloved Metaspeed Edge Paris, first time since they hit my right ankle last March and they hurt my both ankles. Anyway, a good run.
Today I did 6k treadmill and was not a bad run either.

Year to date mileage: 2,104km. Let's see if I'll make 2,200 by December 31st.
