Tempo run 1.5km warmup 8km tempo 1.5km cool down The tempo run, named after James Tempo the famous marathoner of the 60s is one of my favourite workouts #nikeplus #running #runner #nikerunning #slowkidsofinstagram #skoi

Interval run 3x1km & 1x2km with 400m rest intervals The name interval actually comes from the Swedish word "Intervall" which literally means "an intervening time or space" or interval in English Now you know Oh, You're welcomes #nikerunning #runner #running #nikeplus

Tempo run. I feel that I'm getting my running mojo back since banishing the s**w run from my training plan I know I'm not supposed to do this but hating running is just not worth it #runner #nikerunning #nikeplus #slowkidsofinstagram #skoi #running

4 x 1200m intervals = runtogasm No more easy runs for me. Running at a comfortable and easy pace trains me to be comfy. I really need to always be uncomfortable, always stretching myself Be comfortable at being uncomfortable Train myself to be at ease with the pain No more easy runs for me Either I go hard or I stay home #running #skoi #slowkidsofinstagram #nikeplus #nikerunning #runner

The good news is that I've achieve another running milestone. 4000km yo' wohoo! The bad news is that my fitness level is obviously decreasing. Just ran a 5K at 2 minutes off my PB and slower that my last year's 10K race pace Horrific! 😢👎 #runner #nikerunning #nikeplus #slowkidsofinstagram #skoi #running

This cat's expression sums up how I feel today. After nearly a week of not running I could only muster a 10km run out of a planned HM. Better than nothing I guess. #nikeplus #nikerunning #cat #slowkidsofinstagram #skoi #runner

The good news is I got some mileage in today The bad news is, I was supposed to do a 24 km long run today but went to bed very late last night and wasn't feeling too strong this morning. Went out for a run at 9 AM and it was already hot and getting hotter. My lack of discipline is my downfall as usual In another unrelated news, just read that Adidas just purchased Runtastic That should be interesting #running #nike #nikeplus #runtastic #adidas #nikerunning

Nice and easy 6 miles in the morning My frustration with the Nike plus app continues. I'm not exaggerating but it's the least responsive app on my phone by far. Whenever I press a button or make a selection it takes quite some time to do anything At the very least the app could show a busy indicator so at least the user knows that he/she has pressed the button correctly I don't think it's a problem with my iPhone five because all my other apps including Runkeeper works fine This problem has been going on for ages When is Nike going to fix this? Yesterday they said tomorrow Come on Nike, just do it #nikesupport #nikeplus #nikerunning #runkeeper #running #instarunners #justfixit #yesterdayyousaidyoullfixittomorrow

Time for a new pair of shoes. My first pair of running shoes are Nike's Lunarlons. Then I changed to Brooks which give me Plantar Fasciitis. My current pair of of shoes are Adidas and it's giving me blisters due to the narrow toe box. I guess it's time to get back to Nikes again. The Nike+ app is a monumental piece of 💩. It's a good thing that Nike shoes are a lot better that their software. #nikeplus #runner #nikerunning #nike #adidas #brooks #nikeplus #nikesupport

Whoa! I haven't been running for quite some time now. I was always making excuses and wasn't feeling like running for the whole of last week. So glad that I forced myself to run today. #nikeplus #instarunners #running #nikerunning #runner
