Confused

Why is it when you think you are going slow you end up with a good time 🤔. Struggling with jet lag but thrilled with time. I had read that after running in the heat times may improve so perhaps this is why.

That's a cracking time, especially with jet lag. Well done. Is it something to do with by starting slow we have more in the tank to continue at that steady pace? I know I struggle to go slow enough at the start and my speed gets worse as the run continues. Great run from you, welcome home 🤗

Thank you. My first k was 6.15 so even though I thought I was going slowly I wasn’t! I feel as if my legs just won’t go slower. Will definitely have to go slow next run as hoping to do 7/8k. Can’t say I’m glad to be home but I’m sure I’ll settle back .

Always hard settling in after a holiday. Wick 1st k 🤣🤣 how do our legs do that. Good luck with your long run.

Varying stride length can mean that your actual pace is different to your perceived pace. Mine varies between 1.13 m and .90m ...a long lope covers lots of ground quickly but doesn't feel very fast at all. Just a thought 🤷‍♂️

Could be a bit of that. Cadence was 8/12 spk better than last run?

Well done!! I am running very slowly trying to get back into it with jetlag but hoping I will be back on track tomorrow as I feel over it now! 😀

Jet lag is the worst! Have a good run tomorrow.
