Easy does it

At 118 km so far this month, I am currently number 18 out of 691 in the Swedish edition of the Strava Distance Running Challenge which obviously makes me feel quite happy about my overall mileage. But I am a bit concerned that I am running most of those kilometres at a too high intensity. Often I find myself rushing back to cook for the kids or replying to some urgent work e-mail.

Ideally, I should keep my heart rate around 140 for most of my training. With this in mind, I set out for a low-intensity long run this morning which also gave me a chance to test my new waterproof super gloves that I plan to use when running South Devon Ultra.
