45 Mins Easy

LOAD: 14

45 Mins @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)

The only real mistake you can make here is going too fast. Try and pick a flat route as well. Hills will push that RPE too high.

RPE

🙄 Just a fraction slow

PACE

Did an hour instead of 45 minutes but was only 5 miles so don’t think that was too bad. Sometimes I find the runs after a whole day of work the toughest. I don’t know if it’s the long periods of sitting at my desk or the tenseness of being at work all day but I do find I struggle more during the run. I just felt it was quite a struggle today. I enjoyed the challenging route though. It was just a bit of hill til the point you’re gonna curse and then turn off and repeat! Mickey said it was practice for Sunday 😅

Really well done Kelly. Always happy if you do a bit more. I sometimes talk to runners in the manner that our muscles are people, like Inside Out the film I guess. So for those of us spending all day working at our desk the muscles are just chilling but also getting quite lazy and tight. Then if we just start running without giving them any warning they’re like “what the hell is going on?, why are we suddenly doing this nonsense, I’ve been chilling all day, I’m not ready for this shit”. That’s why we give them a little nudge and do some dynamic stretches (hamstring sweeps, quad holds, toe walking). That’s are way of saying to them “oi dickheads, time to wake up you lazy buggers and do some work”. The harder we want to work them (eg a fast parkrun), the more they need waking up, equally the longer they’ve been lazing around doing fuck all, the more importance it is to give them that little nudge. Apologies for the language, but hopefully you get the idea 😂
