I've been running to low heartrate lately, I love a slow plod and Garmin hates me, docking V02MAX and adding years to my fitness age 🙄, this week I've had a cold, they are a bit like PMT.....I seem to get one every month!!I nearly talked myself out of going when I received a message from the lovely Jools2020 telling me she was back and how wet it is up there and much colder than here. I looked out, the rain had stopped, the sun was out, I'd run out of excuses 🤣. The wind was blowing 22 mph from south west and it was 13 degrees so shorts it had to be.
Off I went, I couldn't be bothered choosing a play list so left the radio on, it made a nice change actually.
A walk down the road, turn onto the main road and blustery wind, I have a new peaked headband, felt perfect and kept the sun out of my eyes.
Got into a nice rhythm, HR not too high, arrived at the seafront, 1.6k covered. Waited for lights to change, crossed the road and oh! That breeze in my face....decided to do the planned 30 seconds intervals with a minute slow run between, not that fast but quite hard enough,, paused the watch at 3k to pop onto the beach and take photos, turned and sprinted off! Wind behind me and running fast, but was soon out of breath so walk/ran back along the seafront. Lights were with me so sprinted across first half of road, paused a second and sprinted across second half, wind gusted, headband flew off half way over, carried on, waited for a gap and sprinted back, picked it up and over again, tucked it into my waistband, I only got it yesterday, don't want to lose it yet.
Beginning to tire, slow run with short walking intervals, just past 5k rain started so headband back on head, kept rain off glasses.....and home. Anyway, 6.14k covered, 1hr 9 min according to Garmin.
Have fun running or resting all.
A windy 3K 💨
