That was tough. I started off following the 2h pacers but at 15km already felt I didn't have the legs. Went downhill from there really, the last 6km were a struggle. Sometimes it's good to be brought back down to earth, a bit of a reality check that you're not quite where you want to be running-wise. I know what to focus on in the coming weeks! Quite happy with the overall result as I hadn't really trained for this, but maybe expected a little bit more. On to the next one! #duvel #greatbreweries25k #thelonesportsman #running #runnersworld #runningmotivation #runnerslife #instarunners #runhappy #training #runningadventure #triathlon #triathlontraining #worlderunners #igrunners #runnerlicious #runningandfunning #i12run2 #runningheroes #running_highlight #bike #cycling #swimbikerun #ironman #ironman703 #Wearetherunners #sport #asicsfrontrunner

On today's menu: 160km of the #tourdenamur! Cold and windy day but legs were pretty good. My longest ever ride and the highest amount of elevation gain I've had so pretty happy! On to the next one 💪💪💪 . . . #thelonesportsman #bike #swimbikerun #ironman #ironman703 #IM703 #cycling #cycling_addicts #training #sport #rideordie #ride #cyclist #triathlontraining #triathlon #swim #swimming #sport #run #runner #running #instarunners #roadcyclinglove #imcopenhagen #ironman #whywetri #ironmantri #tricommunity #lovecycling #proximuscyclingchallenge

The wife and I participated in the @antwerp10miles today. Massively proud of her achievement, finishing in 1h34! Making great progress with her running! I finished in 1h15, the 1h10 mark was unachievable today due to the huge crowds of runners and a very badly timed housewarming last night where some 🍺🍺🍺 was consumed.. 🤦‍♂️😩 . . . #thelonesportsman #running #runnersworld #runningmotivation #runnerslife #instarunners #runhappy #training #runningadventure #triathlon #triathlontraining #worlderunners #igrunners #runnerlicious #runningandfunning #i12run2 #runningheroes #running_highlight #bike #cycling #swimbikerun #ironman #ironman703 #Wearetherunners #sport #asicsfrontrunner #antwerp #antwerp10miles

Nothing like setting your alarm at 5 on a Sunday to get a big one in! Happy with the legs but lots of work left still. Climbed the #muurvangeraardsbergen for the first time. Want to do it a few more times so that I'm confident for #challengegeraardsbergen in 7 week's time. . . . . #thelonesportsman #bike #swimbikerun #ironman #ironman703 #IM703 #cycling #cycling_addicts #training #sport #rideordie #ride #cyclist #triathlontraining #triathlon #swim #swimming #sport #run #runner #running #instarunners #roadcyclinglove #imcopenhagen #ironman #whywetri #ironmantri #tricommunity #timetrial #geraardsbergen

First real hot run of the year, 24-25°C which is not my kind of weather! One of those runs you reckon is worth at least 25km 😁. Hope it cools down a bit for next week's @antwerp10miles . . . . #thelonesportsman #running #runnersworld #runningmotivation #runnerslife #instarunners #runhappy #training #runningadventure #triathlon #triathlontraining #worlderunners #igrunners #runnerlicious #runningandfunning #i12run2 #runningheroes #running_highlight #bike #cycling #swimbikerun #ironman #ironman703 #Wearetherunners #sport #asicsfrontrunner #imcopenhagen #imcopenhagen2019

Let the kid put a tattoo on my leg, my shorts not quite long enough to hide it! 🤦‍♂️ Very happy with my progress though, this was an easy run, heartrate in good zones, after a quick 15k on Friday. Getting stronger every week but a way to go before IM Copenhagen! . . . . #thelonesportsman #running #runnersworld #runningmotivation #runnerslife #instarunners #runhappy #training #runningadventure #triathlon #triathlontraining #worlderunners #igrunners #runnerlicious #runningandfunning #i12run2 #runningheroes #running_highlight #bike #cycling #swimbikerun #ironman #ironman703 #Wearetherunners #sport #asicsfrontrunner #imcopenhagen #imcopenhagen2019
