Well yesterday was the 2nd anniversary of me randomly deciding to take up C25K.
I was out on a ‘speed repeat’ run with Garmin coach, just one of them runs you aren’t in the mood for - I procrastinated somewhat and only got out of the door at 5pm where I usually prefer to be out before 6am!
The run went Ok in the most part, I was hoping to slow jog the recovery sessions, however most of them ended up as a 2 minute walk with 1.5 minute jog before the silly 3.5 minute fast bit (around 5’30”/km).
Didn’t help that I ran the warm up 1.6km too fast, I had it in mind that I’d bust my 5km PB as it was the anniversary- I didn’t! 😂.
However I could see that my recently vastly improved 10k was in range of being broken again, so after 7 very exhausting speed sessions, I ran the cool-down at a time to bust the 10k PB, and stopped it as soon as the distance clicked past 10km. (Don’t worry I have a set cool-down walk after the programmed cool-down finishes).
Garmin didn’t like it, by calling it ‘unproductive’ and then congratulated me for knocking 52 seconds off my 10k time.
Got to love the logic 😂
