In the last few months I haven't run a lot because of the weather (hot and humid) and because of a crap ton of uni work for my thesis. Yesterday I finally managed to run a 10k after literally months. With respect to my usual form it was terrible, i run a 6:10min/km when usually I'm well below 5:45, but considering I had run like twice in the past month and a half and had been months since my last 10k I'd say it was a good result

I went on a longer run this week. It felt really great. I'm torn if I should continue using a tracker. I'm just so tired of data and this incessant pressure to track everything. But at the same time I want to get better and data would definitely help.
I started using OpenTracks a couple years ago and ditched runtastic (i keep calling that, it's been adidas running for ages) when I discovered it made my runs public, with gps data and all, for the social features of their app. OpenTracks is FOSS, I got it from fdroid, the data stays on your phone, you do what you want with it. And most importantly it only tracks your activity, just that, no social media crap.
Then again if you don't want to track your runs just don't, I personally do it because I like to see my progression and to keep notes to myself on how/what/when i eat/sleep/etc effects my runs and stuff like that
New Parkrun for me this morning. Along a creek, looks nice, trying for an easy run today.
.... PB ...woo
Nice! Was that the easy run you were hoping for? 😅
Congrats!!
