1-17 km: Good. Average pace was roughly between 5:10 and 5:15 min/km.
18-22 km: Not best. Average pace about 5:40 min/km. I have tried to think different reasons for this hurting hip, but again, it just needs heavy stretching.
Tip: I found a way how to keep running even hip begins to sense strained: do longer steps and run with your hip by twisting it (disclaimer: not a medical advice). My discover helped that much, that instead of two stars I gave free for this run!
Do you have your own stretching and running tips for a strained hip?

It’s so delight to run when running feels easy and light even with a modest speed. Nice!

5 km: Running was very easy and speed was OK. Hip started to bother again. I was about to run about 15 km, but I realized I have to make it shorter.
10 km: I should have had run still one kilometer more, but I really had to stop because of a hip, stop the timer and walk the rest.

I got some kind of hip strain on Thursday and it still bothered a little. That’s why I run a little shorter route and in the woods to get some variation to the steps.

I was about run something 15 kilometers, but because I felt so good and the average speed was not bad, I ended up running a half marathon. Time was good, but during the last two kilometers I got some kind of a hip strain.

I didn’t feel like running a long run because I didn’t eat or drink enough beforehand. So, I run a quarter marathon in a road and in the woods.

Running a route in the woods. That’s why average speed is quite low, but quite nice. It was getting dark already, but I’m familiar with the route.
I got a muscle strain on the shoulder couple weeks ago, and I run two half marathons with that – also the fastest one. Sure that wasn’t so vise and that’s why I kept a little pause, but no it’s OK.

Sort of interval training. 5 kilometers fast, 5 kilometers steady, and so on.

Yeay! Goal achieved! My half marathon goal was to beat 1 h 45 min and, well well, I did it in 1:44:49. I was just running on my own for fun, so sure, this is an unofficial record, but it’s good enough for me.
I’m sorry, but there won’t be any great winning story here. The run was steady, fast and relative easy from the start to finish. But quite fun ride it was.
I think the next goal for a half marathon will be to beat 1 h 30 min.
Yeay!

This run started as a mediocre run, but had a surprise ending.
5 km: Not tired, but not very energetic either. Mediocre.
10 km: Well, still the same. Not tired and not energetic.
11 km: Knee starts to have some feelings. Inconvenient, but not too bad.
17 km: Still going steady. Have to be careful with the knee.
20 km: Oh no, somehow I misinterpreted kilometers and thought last one was, well, the last one. How can the last kilometer feel so heavy? Must be mental, and eventually last kilometer turns this to be quite a tough run.

Trail running mostly in woods, so speed was slower. Muddy surface and slippery roots but, ah, so calm, quiet and misty. I’m sure it would be equal experience if running in a dream. Perfect!
Well, ahead of taking the photo mist had gone and cows were having a lunch.
