Morning Run: Toilet training?
steevc just finished a 5.41km run, that lasted for 33 minutes.
This run helped steevc burn 394.0 calories.
Description from Strava:
Do not worry, I am not going to get too lavatorial. I just saw this toy toilet outside a house on my run. I have to wonder what story is behind it being there.
Today was an intervals run and I headed to my usual hill. Rain was forecast, but it was not too bad out there. It was a bit colder than I expected and I felt a bit chilly when I got back.
My uphill sprints were almost all under 5min/km, which is what I aim for. I hope it will eventually result in me being able to sustain higher pace. I have started looking at running slow to run faster. There are lots of articles and videos on this topic such as this. I think it is about running at an aerobic heart rate that you can sustain. I will investigate more.
I changed my Garmin screen to show heart rate rather than times. It was around 140 when I was taking it easy and peaking over 170 on the sprints.
I am volunteering at parkrun on Saturday, but will try a long run on Sunday where I try to keep my heart rate a bit lower.
Run free and stay well.

Kudos on your training, I hope you get stronger the more and get more strength.
I love your consistency... Its beautiful... At first I was wondering what the post was about before openng it..
Just wondering
What's your blood pressure and resting pulse ?
you are really a source of motivation to me , just tat I have not been able to go outside. I just skip every day and control my diet..
I intend to graduate to running some time next month
I don't know my blood pressure, but my resting pulse is around 55. I think my heart must be stronger from all this running. I just want to stay healthy.
!BEER is nice though.
A resting pulse of 55is wonderful.. I have no doubt your BP will be around 110/70 mmHg, which is very good..
Keep keeping fit

BEER.Hey @bhoa, here is a little bit of
BEERfrom @steevc for you. Enjoy it!Learn how to earn FREE BEER each day by staking your
BEER.Im on the same boat trying to keep exercising every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday to stay healthy and overcome beer craving 😪 not that I go wild every time but it makes me fat and Im trying to cut bad habits, last year stop smoking, on saturdays I go easy just 4km and done, during the week Im doing from 7 - 9 km and my pace is around the same 5-6 min per km depending on the hill, planning to get me a smartwatch, sometimes I go out with my cellphone but its not that safe down here so I prefer to leave it at home so it doesnt get stolen
It's not great if you have to worry about robbery. You could hide a phone on you or just use a cheap one you don't mind losing. Even basic ones have GPS now. I do love my Garmin though.
Having a running routine helps motivate you. I mix it up a bit too, but may try going slower on my long runs. I would like to go further.
Yes it sux, it already happen once and I dont want to go through the process of setting up a new phone, its not the phone its the setup, the apps, the credentials, recover data, I hate it so I just leave my phone at home, I live 1.5km from the park I go so its fine for now, thats why I want to get a smartwatch, small, can hide easy
The best place to toilet train is outside, evidently.
It is for Dolly at least.
Nice job on your run. That is pretty funny that the left it out there like that. I skipped my workout this morning, but I spent most of the morning shoving around six to eight inches of heavy snow. I figure that gave me a good enough workout!
That's plenty of exercise. Just mind your back.
Will do! Thanks!
Another Day another millstone, 5.4 Km is a long walk/run, but if we compare it to what you usually do, it short and also took more time than usual.
Sometimes it's not about overall time or distance. I was doing 300m sprints and the rest was slow.
Millstones are different to milestones, but both are heavy.
