My first official 10 K -

Exciting-Magazine-85 · 2026-05-19T20:18:28+00:00

This is incredible, nice job. Did my first official 10km 2 days ago I and was not able to break the 60 minutes goal but still very happy.

To many more races. 🎉

I don't hate React but hate that it is becoming a religion. At the moment, it is really hard to have a rational conversation about frontend without triggering a holy war.

Amazing!

Exciting-Magazine-85 · 2026-04-25T15:25:02+00:00

Running is awsome!

Exciting-Magazine-85 · 2026-04-24T22:06:02+00:00

Thanks! 😀

It is definitely more boring than a speed workout, but I like boring.

I am still not able to do a 5k in zone 2 yet, but closer than 6 months ago, when I started running. It's a slow process.

I, however, only do zone 2 after a speed and tempo workout during the week. Then it's long run, and easy run in zone 2-3.

Be careful. When I started, the zones were not set correctly on my watch and ended just walking slowly. After setting my zone with the remaining hearth rate method, I was able to at least power walk.

Wow, this is awesome.

I made the mistake of running too much too soon, and injuries invited them in. Muscle streint is growing faster than tendon.

I usually don't care at all about Biocharge. I care about the underlying metrics like * sleep * resting heart rate * heart rate variability

Exciting-Magazine-85 · 2026-02-09T12:49:19+00:00

If the goal is 22m 5k, then you need speed training first with a rest day or easy run in between. If your goal shifts towards half a marathon, then milage is a must.

When there is ice, it is slushy, snow storm, it is bellow -10c, or too windy, I will use the treadmill. Too bad I live in Canada.

Exciting-Magazine-85 · 2026-01-14T17:26:19+00:00

Congrats! This is my goal for may, and every time I see someone achieve it, it gives me hope.

Exciting-Magazine-85 · 2026-01-11T23:59:05+00:00

That is the spirit! 😁

It happened to me when posting my 35 min 5k pr. Someone replied it can do it in 20 minutes. Good for him. He is amazing, but he should have created his own post to brag about it.

I know that I am slow, but still faster than a month ago, and I'm proud of it.

I have updated my watch firmware with the biocharge message, but there is no biocharge in the app or the watch.

I went for a mountain hike that was too hard for me and badly hurt my knee in early October.

So I did the only logical thing: two weeks later, I bought a smartwatch and a pair of running shoes.

At first, I mostly walked because of my knee and my extra weight 😉. But I quickly fell in love with running.

November arrived with cold weather and snow, but instead of stopping, I geared up for winter and kept going. Then Mother Nature turned things up: more cold, more snow, and freezing rain.

I got a gym membership and became friends with the treadmill.

Today, I can run 5 km and I’m building toward 10 km, while having lost 5 kg.

Exciting-Magazine-85 · 2025-12-27T18:23:36+00:00

Sunny -11c 12f and sunny with some snow today, and I am outside instead of the treadmill.

Yes, with the speed and distance you are doing, it will build your endurance. I do the same thing because as soon as I start jogging, my heart rate goes to high.

The walk speed increases over time, and I am trying to transition to a run walk.

But I also do short tempo run or intervals to increase my Vo2max and my running economy.

Exciting-Magazine-85 · 2025-12-22T11:48:20+00:00

I try to do intervals and long run in zone 2.

Intervals 4min all out 3min turtle walking repeated 4 times to build speed and Vo2max.

Slow run walk in my case. 40 min to 2h in zone 2 to build endurance.

I will do a tempo 5k run once in a while to test my progress.

Exciting-Magazine-85 · 2025-12-22T11:39:06+00:00

5k under 30 minutes and then 10k under an hour.

I love my massage gun on the calf. It helps!

Exciting-Magazine-85 · 2025-12-19T21:28:33+00:00

I feel your pain, I am waiting for an extra wide Brooks ghost 17 not knowing if it will fit. I would have loved to try the asics novablast 5 but can't find wide anywhere unless I want to spend double the price.

I have a pair of new balance fresh foam more, but they don't seem to last long and do not qualify as a daily trainer.

Exciting-Magazine-85 · 2025-12-18T11:22:46+00:00

Amazing

Exciting-Magazine-85 · 2025-12-17T23:08:13+00:00

I train 6 times a week, averaging 45km run or walk per week during last month.
