10 km in the mist | PUM day 21

Hi welcome back!

Running
Last week was a 85KM peak week, this week will be a bit less km to allow my body to recover and rehydrate and be fully rested at the actual marathon.

I am aiming for this week to do roughly 50-60 km.

Todays run:
10 km run, in misty weather. Unlike the runs last week where there was also a lot of mist, today there was a lot more water in the air. Combined with the cold temperature it was a fun run but I did regret not wearing gloves this time.

Running Pace
As I have a busy work day today I could only create time to run if I would skip my lunchbreak and do a shorter run.

First 8 km:
I tried to focus on my breathing so I could try and run as fast as possible while trying to keep my heartrate as low as possible or atleast below 150. The hard work from earlier weeks seems to have paid off - as tempo was pretty nice for a 150 BPM.

Last 2 km:
I wanted to push the pace a little near the end of my run - just to finish strong - while staying below my lactate threshold (162 bpm).

Music
I am trying to create a new playlist for my upcoming events. Normally I run Events on the spotify playlist "Running Techno Beats to run - 180 bpm Motivational Music 2025" - but since the second half of last year the owner of the playlist added quite some new songs that don't match that bpm so doesn't really sync anymore.

On today's run I tried to explore what type of #music I feel happy/energetic with. I just created a playlist with different types of songs just to explore. Including the snap below.

The music by itself is fun, but there is no synergy between the songs. I feel for februari I will just stick to the old download of the "Running techno" playlist (without all the added slower songs) - rather than risking creating something myself that just doesn't work.

Happy running!
