  Monday-running-club-day....yeah baby! Today, besides exercises we did a Cooper test (12 minutes running as far as you can). Based on the results the trainers can calculate optimal interval speeds, predict pace in races.... I did 300m better than half a year ago (2,8 km) so I'm happy. #running #hardlopen #track #runnersofmastodon

  The plan was to participate in an event, but then my mother-in-law decided to celebrate her 82nd birthday. So I improvised, got up early and ran my own 20k trail. Since it was a race-simulation I pushed a little and did a negative split. But also took some time for pictures (because the 'Engbertsdijksvenen', the local moor, is turning into its fall colour scheme, and it is beautiful). Ofcourse the motivational snack was part of the fun 😋 #garmin #running #trailrunning #hardlopen...

  Monday-running-club-day 🤓. After some exercises we did a long pyramid at 10k pace. So 1000m - 1600m - 2000m - 1600m - 1000m. Let's say it was challenging, with saturday's fast 20k still in the legs. #garmin #running #runnersofmastodon #hardlopen #track

  A weekend-fun-run with some serious EG in the southest part of the Netherlands. I incorporated part of the Dutch Mountain Trail in my run today. Really beautiful trailing terrain here. In total it was 20k with 430m EG. Good training ground, and, as a bonus, the weather was fine. Around 11°C and some sunshine between the clouds. #running #trailrunning #hardlopen #runnersofmastodon #dutchmountaintrail #garmin

  Monday-running-club-day 😁. And again, after practicing a 175 beats/minute cadance, just like last week we ran a pyramid. 800-1000-1200-1000-800 at 10k speed, with 2 minute walking breaks in between. And it is getting colder... But not cold enough for the long trousers yet. #garmin #running #hardlopen #track #runnersofmastodon

  Yesterday's short-and-flat-trailrun. Trying out new trailrunning shoes; Altra Olympus 7. Because they have a 0mm drop I plan to allow myself to get used to them by steadily increasing the running distance while wearing them. My normal trailshoes (Hoka Challenger ATR) have a 4mm drop, so that is significantly higher. With the new version of the Hoka's being even higher this was a good moment for an experiment with Altra's. I really like the grip of the Vibram sole, it was...

  Monday-running-club-day 😁. Today the program after the exercises was short intervals: 200m - 30 sec rest - 400m - 1 min rest, at 3k speed (!), and that 8 times. Trainer said that's speed where you're kind of able to hang in there but are glad the 400m is over. #garmin #running #runnersofmastodon #hardlopen #track #intervals

  New location, here also a weekend-fun-run from the campsite. Went up through the vineyards across the river and then took a part of the Moselsteig. Very beautiful sights from above on the Mosel river. Not as technical as in the Pfalz but, especially in the vineyards, sometimes very steep trails. Did 17.8 km and 544m EG. Probably the final run of our stay in Germany because we go home on Sunday. #running #runnersofmastodon #trailrunning #hardlopen #laufen #mosel #moselsteig #garmin

  Race day! Very beautiful weather, nice company, lots of cheering and some music along the route, so this was a success! Very satisfied with the result (1:17:51 official time). #garmin #running #runnersofmastodon #mastorunNL #hardlopen #ijsselloop
