Consolidation Run 6 - Need for Speed! πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ

So, I had a bit of a life wobble yesterday (unemployed thanks to Rona and no Gov support thanks to being a twirly) so I really wasn’t in the mood for this run today. I’d already started to convince myself last night that I was going to rest another day today with the heat being my main argument.

But I woke up this morning and set my sights (and frustration!) on the Speed podcast. This little B stumped me last week and I adapted the programme to include walking ....

Not today Satan 😈 not today!

Set off slow with the promise not to walk at all today - regardless of the weather. I knew I could do this shorter run IF I just ignored myself long enough.

5 min warm up

5 min 155BPM

60 seconds 165BPM

60 seconds 150BPM

(Repeat interval 6x)

5 min cool down

DONE βœ…

Avg Pace Faster βœ…

Moving time shorter (due to no walking) βœ…

1 PR βœ…

2.5km under 15 mins βœ…

Now for an energised day in front of the computer to get myself out of this Rona rut! πŸ’ͺ

Happy running all - it’s warm so plenty of fluids! πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ
