53 days out. 200km monthly volume unlocked. Over 11.5 km of interval struggle. Beautiful views, nightmare surface. Trying to hit splits on slippery Cyprus stones is a joke. The terrain killed the rhythm. Not particularly good place for training. I miss running at home.

54 days out. Operation hm140. 10.29 km @ 6:23 min/km | Avg HR: 139 bpm. Constant battle between maintaining Z2 and the hilly terrain. Had to improvise and find a flat 1km loop to execute the planned strides correctly. Tech issues with the watch display (no live pace during intervals) so I had to run by feel. #hm140 #sub100

55 days out - visited the highest peak in Cyprus on my rest day. #hm140 #sub100

56 days out. Running in Mediterranean sun. Long Run: 19.00km @ 6:20 min/km. Avg HR 142. Good execution of upper Zone 2 work in hilly terrain. Vitamin D loading. Would be nice to have an app that could monitor my heartbeat instead of constantly checking my running watch 🤔 #hm140 #sub100

57 days out. Second day of recovery. Finally my weight dropped… and almost a kilo in two days! Definitely on track with my half marathon goals.

59 days out. Recovery run. 7.2km @ 6:28 min/km. Avg HR 135. Early morning cold + fatigue from previous intervals. Ran by feel, ignored the watch. Now: 48h full reset. Next log coming from the Mediterranean sun #hm140 #sub100

60 days out. Winter forced the treadmill. 3x2km threshold @ 4:30 min/km. HR strap failed to sync, but the effort was real. Work done regardless of the data. #hm140 #sub100

61 days out. 8.6 km easy Z2 finished with 3:06 min/km sprints. 2100 calories discipline before tomorrow's hard work. #HM140 #training

With 62 days to day 0, today is a rest day with some extra carbs - 2400/2500 calories altogether #HM140 #sub100

Sunday Zone 2 Long Run - 63 days to go Distance 17.13 km Pace: 5:59 min/km Key observation: mindfulness works. If you focus on the "here and now" your heartbeat stays lower. As soon as thoughts start to wander the HR spikes. Be present when running #HM140 #Sub100

Only/still 64 days to my half marathon event where I plan to break 1:40 min. Today rest and recovery day - 4,5 kms easy walk and then sauna. Tomorrow (most likely) will be my first day training outdoors. #hm140 #sub100
