Tempo Interval Run

Dogless, and up hill and down dale, in a circle, because I wanted to be close enough to home that I could get back quickly in case the thunder that was rumbling before I set out developed into something nasty. .

It didn’t. In fact it didn’t even rain, so I got very warm in the neon yellow, lightweight showerproof I’d opted to put on so that I could be seen in the gloom of 8pm.

I actually enjoyed pushing myself to get as close to the asked for pace of 6:15/km as I could, though I did make a dog walker jump when I ran up behind her puffing like a train.

Well done you! Maybe you could wear a bell to warn the unwary of your approach? 😂

I was breathing SO loudly, seriously. Like some kind of phone pest loud.

I think she was having some thinky thoughts.

This made me chuckle! I wear earplugs, so can’t hear how loud I am! 🤣

I’m not too bad on a normal run, but fast interval or tempo runs? I’m pretty sure people can hear me in the next county 🤣
