Although just starting the plan this week I’ve ‘jumped in’ at Wk3 since my last 6 runs have all been 50/50 between 30mins and 38 mins so I’m thinking the long run of 44mins might be doable.
Feeling much more motivated than of late so was keen to get back to 3 runs a week and keen to get this second run done today .
Rain and wind were pretty wild though 🙄☔️💨🌬 It did dry up though just as I was finishing my exercises and stretching , unfortunately this coincided with the ‘school rush’ passing by outside ...... still not brave enough 😂😂🏃🏻♀️🏃🏻♀️
I found with the short 15 minute run that I was a bit all over the place with my pace so I concentrated hard on keeping this run steady to set me up for the longer run 3 to come.
I was quite pleased at the consistency of the pace ( my garmin started talking to me today to tell me what it was and also my HR , this was by accident not design . I usually just press run and off I go , it usually just buzzes at Km and if I’m ahead of the pace Inset. Today I found a 35 min workout and pressed that 🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️ Maybe I set this up at some point . Think I need to take some ‘Garmin Coaching’ 😂😂
Anyway this commentary kept me nice and steady albeit just slightly faster than I’d have liked .
It really was a wild windy run and it started raining after five minutes but I didn’t see and point turning back and also felt it looked brighter towards the coast.
I passed only two cars and two ‘rainwear clad ‘ dog walkers so not too many people witnessing my wet bedraggled madwoman running in the rain look 🙄🙄😂
I found it quite exhilarating and refreshing really , the black and grey sky , whipping wind and wild waves of the sea and me playing a part in it all , braving the elements and all that 😂
It brightened up on the way home and the day has been another fairly dry but windy November day .
Glad to be back with the programme , time plan is definitely the way to go for me and just feeling really energised again 🙂🙏
