Did I go running in this tropical paradise? Oh yes I did. Not my best for sure, but it’s hard to keep up the pessimism. #running #runchat #runsky

Recovery jog. Legs are actually a bit sore after the fast miles yesterday. #running #runchat #runsky

First run ever in carbon plated shoes. #ASICS MetaSpeed Sky. Did a few sub 7 miles and I’m not sure they did anything, but I came back without injuries and will continue to experiment. #running #runchat #runsky

Getting back into it. Haven’t heard a peep from the Achilles tendon last few days. #running #runchat #runsky

Very wet this morning, but I got a jog in before work. Happy Monday! #running #runchat #runsky

Nice sunny day in the #pnw. Great to back to running a bit further. #running #runchat #runsky

Happy Friday everyone. Recovery jog before the weekend. #running #runchat #runsky

Yeah, I’ve been a long time Garmin fan. From Forerunner 101 and until now. But this points in a direction where they will stop having a great free app. And like Strava have constant upselling motion. It’ll drive me nuts and my next watch will be something else, I suspect.

I hate everything about this #Garmin Connect+ thing. Features seem silly, the marketing email is terrible (they don't tell you what it costs), the price ($70/year) doesn't make sense. Thoughts? #running #runchat #runsky

Managed to take a few faster strides today (2x800m) and nothing broke. Robert continues. #running #runsky #runchat

Recovery jog today. Starting to feel stronger again. Hope the Achilles tendon holds up as I start to ramp back up. #running #runchat #runsky

Yes, it’s the SRT. My daily driver.

Found myself of the other side of the mountains this morning and hit the Palouse to Cascades trail. Beautiful morning. #running #runchat #runsky

Happy Friday. Still working my way back. Day 4 of #running. May need a day off tomorrow or perhaps just a short jog. We will see. #runchat #runsky

Michael Hansen @reconstructthis.bsky.social · 27/03/2025

I’ve run 3 days in a row for the first time in over a month. Wouldn’t call it a streak yet, but getting there. Slowly recovering. #running #runsky #runchat

Michael Hansen @reconstructthis.bsky.social · 25/03/2025

Recovery continues. Still no pain. Spring in the air. No jacket or gloves or hat this morning. #running #runchat #runsky

Another 10k+ and Achilles tendon is still holding up. No pain. Felt great to be out there again. I will not miss the exercise bike when I’m fully recovered. #running #injury #recovery #runchat #runsky

Michael Hansen @reconstructthis.bsky.social · 21/03/2025

First 10k jog in a while. No pain. Perhaps I’m on my way back. #running #runsky #runchat

I have been unable to do much #running for many days. It’s miserable. #runchat #runsky

Michael Hansen @reconstructthis.bsky.social · 23/02/2025

Another dreadfully boring session on the bike in the gym today. Injury is feeling better but still needs rest. I miss #running. #runsky #runchat.

Michael Hansen @reconstructthis.bsky.social · 22/02/2025

Let’s not give them too much credit. They are not trying to figure out what’s working.

Michael Hansen @reconstructthis.bsky.social · 22/02/2025

Maybe something to consider for #Musk and his #DOGE goons: creating an “efficient” heating system and turning the heat off are not the same.

Michael Hansen @reconstructthis.bsky.social · 22/02/2025

Two flipping hours on the stationary bike in the gym this morning. I thought the dreadmill was boring. Can’t wait to get back to #running. #injury sucks. #runchat #runsky

Michael Hansen @reconstructthis.bsky.social · 22/02/2025

After that, with the aid of ibuprofen and the knowledge that bit of pain was expect, I got back to it. I ran 70 mi last week. I still feel it sometimes but it’s possible to get back.

100

Michael Hansen @reconstructthis.bsky.social · 22/02/2025

Me: It’s not working. Keep getting pain. Maybe I need surgery? Dr: How much are you rubbing? Me: 20-30 mi per week. Dr: Listen, I have real patients that can’t walk up the stairs, can’t work. You are 40 years old, you broke your leg, it hurts a bit. Take and Ibuprofen and suck it up. Me: 😳

Michael Hansen @reconstructthis.bsky.social · 22/02/2025

Wow fellow running with tibial plateau fracture. I fractured mine 12 years ago. Long journey back. Took me roughly 12 months until I was running with some regularity and even then there was pain. After about 18 months I consulted the orthopedic surgeon because I kept having pain the convo;

Michael Hansen @reconstructthis.bsky.social · 21/02/2025

This is a tough post to write. My foot and Achilles tendon is not really getting better. I’ve decided to end the #runstreak and give it some rest. It will likely delay the 50k I had planned. Very disappointed, but I have to listen to my body. Gym for a few days. #running #runchat #runsky

Michael Hansen @reconstructthis.bsky.social · 20/02/2025

Still struggling with minor injury. At least I jogged a bit on the trail today. Looks like long runs schedule will need adjustment this weekend. Just gotta give it time. #running #runchat #runsky

0240

Michael Hansen @reconstructthis.bsky.social · 20/02/2025

I’m trying to do my first 50k in March and the main thing I’ve changed in training is adding back to back long runs on the weekend to learn to run on tired legs and I’m focusing on fuel. 20g of carbs every 30 minutes on long runs. We will see if it works.

120

Michael Hansen @reconstructthis.bsky.social · 20/02/2025

I’d say it depends on why you are struggling. If it’s a time issue, you just can find the time, then drop the fartlek and keep the tempo and possibly lengthen the tempo run a bit to keep mileage up. If it’s injury and overtraining, keep the fartlek and swap the tempo for a jog.

Did 5k easy on the treadmill as my foot recovers. Feeling like it should be fine. #runstreak day 159. #running #runchat #runsky

Michael Hansen @reconstructthis.bsky.social · 19/02/2025

I ran just 1mi today. Foot is a bit sore from last weeks high mileage. Taking a break today but keeping the #runstreak going. May do the same tomorrow if it’s still sore. #running #runchat #runsky myrunstreak.com/streak/56637...

Their run streak started 2024-09-14.

I’ve been running with Garmin watches for years. Had the original ForeRunner 101 and several different forerunners and other Garmin watches since then. So I can recommend it. Suunto, Polar, and Coros are also popular.

Michael Hansen @reconstructthis.bsky.social · 17/02/2025

I think Strava is the authoritative app for running (and cycling) and they have pretty much buttoned up the social side of the market. There is a free and a premium version. I don’t pay for the premium since Garmin connect has the stats I need, but lots of folks do. I suggest giving it a try.

Wow - this is terrible news in general, and specifically for the #trailrunning community in the 🇺🇸. Seems like the orange felon is hell bent on destroying anything good in that country.

Last run at the “altitude training camp” (aka the in-laws house) in the #denver #foothills. Back to sea level tomorrow. Recovery jog after lots of miles this weekend. #runstreak day 157. #running #runchat #runsky

Good call about the salt. You probably need some salt with the sugar to absorb it.

Michael Hansen @reconstructthis.bsky.social · 17/02/2025

All the GU gels are very sweet too, so that might not help you. But they do have a lot of different flavors, so maybe some of them are easier for you. I honestly struggled with eating on runs and stayed away from gels, but in retrospect I was under-fueled and it’s worth practicing fueling.

010

Michael Hansen @reconstructthis.bsky.social · 17/02/2025

Why are the Untapped Maple ones cheating? I have been using Honey Stinger and GU Roctane for the last few runs. At first I stayed away from the caffeine ones (because I was afraid of crashing), but it really works for me. @runelevity.bsky.social gave me good advice. He might have something to add.

Michael Hansen @reconstructthis.bsky.social · 16/02/2025

I bet it was. Running in the snow adds extra weight to your feet, extra effort trying to to slip, and extra mental load.
