🎼starting over🎼

•6 Replies

To quote John Lennon..... I’m starting over.... after a brilliant and exhilarating first week run... of which I was very proud of completion. I am now about to start W1R1 again. Stupidly I ran my first runs like I was still 30 and back in my rugby playing days... how stupid. I have paid the cost... So. A week of resting and gentle exercise I intend to complete the runs in a more sedate pace.. Intention versus maturity. Lessons to be learned. 🤔

As stated in the guide to the plan an easy conversational pace equates to approximately 75% of your maximum heart rate, which is the perfect zone to build the solid aerobic base required to run faster and further, which is why it is the pace at which elite athletes spend up to 80% of their training time.

Can you speak aloud, clear, ungasping sentences as you run?.........if not, you are going too fast.

I am not familiar with iPhone and iPad, but with Android and Windows click Add photo and select your image and it just works. You can only attach one image. You could try reducing the resolution of the image.

Thanks. I’m using the attachment icon and it just keeps saying that there’s a fault. I’ll try reducing image size
