Week 0 — Starting the tracking.
Currently visiting Kyoto Japan and did some longer distance. Relatively high humidity and warmer than usual. A lot of post-travel mucus combined with poort sleep made this a tough run.

One person. Bronchiectasis. A target that most people would call unrealistic. Every session logged, setback recorded, and milestone documented. This is what training with BX actually looks like.
Right now
Establish consistent aerobic base. Zone 2 focus. The goal at this stage is to build conistency, confidence and a baseline. In the first 4 weeks, the ideal would be to bring my base speed back to a 10 min/mile (6:13 min/km). It should also be possible to do this pace over 10km. Additionally, I need to lose some weight. I am not massive, but have gotten slightly heavier due to a stressful phase of life, and low focus on food / exercise.

Race reports will appear here after the first event is completed. The current training block is building toward a first 10K completion, likely with a race linked to it.

How to read these logs
Distance, duration, heart rate zone, and feel score (1–5) for each session. These numbers matter less than the pattern over time — what changes, what stays consistent, what correlates with lung status.
Every entry records how the lungs were at the time of the session — clear, some mucus, heavy, or post-clearance. This is the layer that makes these logs different from a standard training diary.
Each entry has a short written note — what actually happened, how it felt, what was learned. The numbers are context; the words are the story.
Starred entries mark meaningful moments — a first milestone, a breakthrough session, or an honest record of a hard day that was worth showing up for anyway.
