Sunday Fartleks

That was fun, I didn't want to push too hard but don't you just love that celebration pace? I do. My neighbour was there but not in the photo.

Run happy or rest well

Well done Sue, isn't that two runs on consecutive days, you were at parkrun yesterday. 😊 🏃🏾

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to AlMorr]

Yes hence being short and sweet

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

👍 🏃🏾

Great pic! What's celebration pace?

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Gthants]

I haven't a clue, for me it was almost as fast as I could go 😂

[MissUnderstanding Administrator Graduate10]

Fantastic! Which fartlek was it? Sounds like a great run for you in a beautiful place

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to MissUnderstanding]

I did How Fartlek can you go? Short and without too much effort, although I did enjoy pushing myself a bit

[MissUnderstanding Administrator Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

I did that on Friday-timed it badly with the heat and was utterly exhausted! Think you paced it much better than me. Those fifteen seconds on, fifteen seconds off at the end were just killer. I’m not sure mine was so much of a “celebration” pace final interval as a “desperation” pace 😂. Was glad to make it through and very glad of some rest days yesterday and today!!!

I really enjoyed it, I'm not sure I put enough effort into any of the paces but it was a good run and further than I'd usually expect to go in the time

[Birdlady64 Graduate10]

Sounds like you really enjoyed that! I haven't tried that one, not sure I like the idea of not knowing what's coming or what I'm expected to do next. But then I guess that's probably the whole idea!😁

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Birdlady64]

I guess they aren't true Fartleks actually because it's in the about section what the run involves, and he tells you at the beginning 😄

This sounded fun so I decided to do it today (a sneaky run on a working from home day 😉. I did a couple of hours over the weekend tho 😇). I was thrilled when I heard the velvet tones in Coach Cory 🥰😂 but disappointed when he glitched at 1:12 and stopped mid word. I restated him - nothing. I stopped the run and restarted it but the same happened again 😏 Feeling spurned by CC 😢 I decided to carry on for 30 mins, pushing myself a bit on pace, which I did 😁. I’ll check my phone for updates and get rid of some of the saved runs on the app, then try again another day. Fortunately the second time it actually recorded the distance and ticked it off on the July playlist. Small blessings 😁

Oh what ashame, it's frustrating when the app stalls, but most the time it's a brilliant app.

[Frizzbomb67 Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

I managed to do this run today. It still glitched during the warm up but this time Coach Cory’s velvet voice popped back up at about 9 minutes. I have no idea why 🤷🏻‍♀️ Anyway, I’d missed the first couple of intervals but took it from there. It was fun but quite a tough one! Now I’m on summer break, it was lovely to get out for an extra run mid week😁

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Frizzbomb67]

I'm glad he came back for you, I enjoyed that one and will do it again
