PACE

I’ll be honest and put my hands up to skipping these again this week. I think I’m still a little bit scared of doing them and hurting myself. My hamstring was a bit funky again after Tuesday so didn’t want to push anything. I also ended up doing easy runs on my treadmill and it doesn’t go fast enough for strides. Will give them a go this week though.

Thanks for being honest and I totally get it. My advice would just be super careful. Instead of doing 10 metres of building up pace, do 30 metres, and the middle section just keep relatively steady, say 70%. Then hopefully as confidence grows again you can pick up the pace. They are obviously a risk with a hamstring and they will stretch that muscle more, so every reason to be cautious.
