🍏 A Fartlek too far

[Annieapple]

This morning after waking up excessively early, I set off in the beautiful early morning rain ☔️ ready to do battle with Coach Corey on NRC. Today was a new level up, doing a speed run 🏃‍♀️ I did manage most of it, but suddenly just before the last pace of the workout, I had absolutely nothing left in the tank! All I could do was go into snail 🐌 mode & get home. On reflection, although lack of sleep comes into it a bit, I think I am not quite ready for this level & will rather repeat last weeks training. Getting these different paces right is a new challenge!!

You were out early, you must feel pleased it's done. I found a 15 minute ' find your pace' run in NRC and thought I'd try that one as I'm never quite sure what I'm supposed to be doing with different paces. I think I tend to be a bit conservative with speed so I can get to the end.

Good luck with finding yours 😁

Thanks Sue! I think I am going to have to be a lot more conservative! 🤣 I do like idea of moving from one pace to another but sustaining it is an art I need to work on!!

You were out early... well done you! I am not good at changing pace to order.... in a run, it seems to happen naturally but.... you did well!

Sleep is so good.... I am thankful we are getting plenty right now to take us on.

You will get this ! x

Maybe you were running 9 out of ten when maybe only a six out of ten was called for. You’re running at your perceived 5 out of ten pace or whatever. Coach tells you which gear to get in 🙂

He’s a great coach and really helps you hold on til the end 😀👍🏃‍♀️
