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.

The big picture
Every session
My legs are hurting a little from yesterday. I left the run to later in the day and struggled to go out. Put oon my shoes ande deciced to go for 2 miles, ended up running a bit more.
Woke up at 4AM this morning (thanks jetlag) and at 5AM decided to go for a run to get it covered. The city was very quiet, so decided to run a bit longer and enjoy the environment. With 15 degree temperature, it was a great time to run. Went longer than before!
Still very tired, but went out after work to get this one in. Weather was much more manageable, so relatively smooth run. Pace is starting to pick up a bit, but this was a relatively short run.
Came back from Japan last night and went for this run. Main goal was to get it in. But felt very tired, and had my classic increase in mucus that I get after (long) flights. But, kicked off July strong!
Second run in Kyoto along the river. Slightly better than yesterday given it is less warm. Need to remind myself to not try and go fast. Lungs were better than yesterday, some coughing necessary.
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.

Events
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.
