Glorious Tuesday!

Feels great!
I did a 7 km slowish very nice jog towards the Hirvensalo bridge, mainly flat pavement all the way, uphills at the Hirvensalo end, turned around and jogged back. Stopped at 7 km and powerwalked home.
Following weeks at home I focus on 15 km jogs! I know I can do them.
And at the end of June it's the Paavo Nurmi Marathon , I've signed up for the half. A nice  summer outing to Ruissalo and back to town :)

Yesterday I had a session with my PT Jussi at Elixia Centrum . Full-body circuit training!

The Summer Of Running has begun!

Cycling Saturday!

Yesterday's theme was: CYCLING!

Cycling to the gym. 2 hr Xycling Marathon. Cycling home.
Cycling to town to a friend's place to watch the ESC final in the evening. Cycling home.

Two hours of pop and rock music at full blast, two energetic and  fun indoor cycling instructors yelling at us :)
Another instructor came in with juice and water every now and then, walked around the room pouring drinks. Excellent service!
The Xycling Marathon participants each got a goodie bag! Gift cards, juice, protein bar...

Today I'm going outdoors for a run.

Note the yellow TdF-jersey :)

Gym and run

Yesterday was a good gym day.
New PB in indoors rowing; 28,36 min!
I also did some abs in the TRX and general full-body strength training.
James Brown with 2 x 7 kg dumbbells!

Today I've just done a 4 km jog outdoors. Forgot sunscreen and a hat, had to cut the run short. Sun shining from clear sky.
New try tomorrow after Finland's icehockey victory over Sweden :)

Crazy week at work

Crazy week at work, not much opportunities to go to the gym.
Managed to get in a 10 km Wattbike ride on Monday afternoon.
Felt good to get the blood pumping in my body again :) !

This week at home will be a week of long runs, preferably outdoors.

Running outdoors at work!

I ran outdoors at work for the first time on Thursday! There's a sort of track on deck 12. Approx 300 m?

It was a bit windy in Thu and I'd left my running jacket at home, it honestly got a bit cold in just running pants and a t-shirt! I did not give up and managed 40 mins in the (sometimes) icecold wind.

Can't wait for the weather to get WARMER, then I'll do 20 burpees after each round on deck! Too cold now to touch the deck.

Short and sweet intervals

I focused on speed and uphill intervals at work this week.
I had the opportunity to go five times to the gym, the treadmill was vacant each time. 2 x 15 mins intervals each time. Felt good.
Pressed schedule at work, not time for longer workouts this time.

Now I've finally moved home-home. This week I'll do my first proper long runs for this season!
Bring it on, I'm ready!!!
