Felt super tough today (kid not sleeping on top of 3 mental work days is not good for morale!!!) so much so I almost gave up. Gave myself a good talking too and cracked on. Think I chose the wrong route as the first 3 miles are all up hill.
Strava has not broken down the session so have a look at Garmin app for stats. Slower than it should have been to start and I didn’t complete the whole CD as I was knackered.
Some days are just hard and it can be quite miserable in truth. And we are left questioning why do I this. We do it for the days it doesn’t feel like this and we only get those days by working hard when it feels tough. You wait til Chichester. If preparation goes well, having all those people around you, the flat(ish) route, the good surface to run on, you’ll have to fight hard to slow yourself down and not go off too fast. So I wouldn’t worry about that right now. Looking at Garmin Connect the pace looks decent to me given the circumstances. And mentally you’ll be tougher and more resilient having completing a session like this. So well done Lou!! Once Chichester is ticked off the sessions will be easier than this as well.
