Looking good, all the garmin tech of today is great. Have you ever checked or increased your protein intake as you increase the mileage and or intensity of workouts. As I have got older I am getting the feeling I need more protein than I used to when I was young.

Tnx! Yeah! My protein intake is +/- 2.2 gram for every kilo bodyweight on harder days. On easy days more in the 1.8 - 2.0 gram / kg bodyweight!

No wonder I am struggling and achy all the time I reckon I struggle to get over 1 gram for every kilo most days. You don't look like a small guy. Do you just add protein powders between big meals to hit those targets?

Unfortunate I can’t take dairy too well, so no proteinpowder for me (sometimes I do skimmed milk or skyr - but over longer periods I tend to regret that haha)

Most of the time I get it from a daily combination of (smoked) chicken, fish (fresh or canned), chickpeas/ lentil, eggs and nuts. Basicly all work great in a salad. But indeed I am currenty 88 kg (194 lb), so it takes quite some volume (and money) to reach the target!
