PACE

Meh – not feeling great after a weekend of digging! Back and legs a bit sore, plus everything felt harder than it should have despite the pace and distance! Just one of those runs where it didn’t come together. Weirdly, I felt much better after the run though. Nice.

It happens, I had a weird experience. 50 mins easy. Jax has been struggling so I suggested we head up the field. I was running around helplessly with no plan, first km was 6:05 at it felt tough, looked at my watch next having felt like I’d be running for 30 mins and it was 11 mins. So I did something different, created myself a little 200 metre loop using little markers such as a tuft of grass and dandelions, even starting practicing my turnaround spin at the tuft. Each time I reached the dog shit bin I lapped my watch, came in around 1:07 at first and suddenly I had a target. With 30 mins still to go I must have done 24 laps or so but suddenly started enjoying the run and had something to aim for. Even did a little celebration at the dog shit bin when I smashed out a 1:03 lap. I dunno what I’m really getting at here other than trying something a bit different if the run isn’t go well. Thought you’d appreciate my feedback for a change perhaps? Plus the fact I found my easy run tough, especially at first with no clear direction of where I was going.
