I was late out this morning - 7:14! Certainly noticed the increased traffic. And it was chilly! Warmed up once I started running.
This run catches a lot of people out. Maybe because itβs back to intervals after the euphoria of a 20 minute run in Week 5 Run 3.
So I tried the same mind trick that I did when I ran it in 2020. I told myself that I was training now for something else and the previous run did not exist. It worked and I had no problem.
I kept everything slow and steady, as you should, but did allow myself to settle into a slightly faster pace at the end.
I could feel myself getting fitter with this run and Garmin agreed with me! I now have a fitness age of 45 π
I did notice, however, that my recovery walks were progressively slower! π
Looking forward to Run 2! ππββοΈ
