60 Min Easy Run

LOAD: 150

60 Mins @ Easy Pace (RPE: 2-3)

Keep the effort level to around 3 or 4 on the RPE scale. Focus on good form and don’t get lazy. Often the best run of the week 😁

No intervals this week as we ease back. Obviously if you get news regarding the date of the operation let me know and we can change things up. Hopefully they won’t keep you waiting long.

RPE

PACE

Oh my goodness – so weary after a full day of childcare, involving table tennis, several sessions of football, walking as well as more relaxed creative time. I think I would have had to be walking to keep RPE at 3-4! My feet ached after all the football in the same trainers, my ankles felt weak and I was uncomfortably bloated. Moan moan moan! Then my watch conked out around 40 mins. I kept going for around 20 mins before I too conked out. No strides – can I do them later in the week? I’m trying to think of positives – I know difficult sessions endured can give you – endurance! And it was a fab evening – shadows lengthening, huge red sun sinking behind the trees …. But I could not call it enjoyable.

Sometimes these are the runs that stick in our mind though. The ones where we wanted to stop but we kept on going. A run to store in the memory bank when you inevitably feel exactly this way late on in a race, likely a lot worse, but you just keep going. Ultimately that’s what training is. Preparing ourselves for those race days, so when we have experiences like this it’s actually far more beneficial than those easy runs where everything feels good. Cos that ain’t what it’s going to feel like at mile 20 on Sunday 😉 So whilst it felt horrible, there are actually a lot of positives to take from this one. So really well done for persisting with the run, especially when the watch died. Great job Sarah.
