Not a great time and felt crap most of the way round (low energy, breathing, legs), but so pleased to have done it and I’m enjoying looking back on it as an experience. It’s always great vibe at Heathfield, they look after us well and fantastic organisation.
I was around a minute slower than 2024. Not sure what I need to do to up my game (that’s if I’m even able to)? It just seems such a fine balance with me in terms of overdoing it. My life is very hectic outside of running so I don’t have much down time. I guess the main thing is that I carry on enjoying running 😊🏃♀️
Having checked this week’s plan and realised Bewl and Pier to Pier are so close, I’ll not bother with Robertsbridge on Friday as I will need to get that long run in! If I can’t find people to run it with on Saturday, would it be ok to run with the Sunday group?
Firstly really well done Jan, an excellent run on a tough route. I think it’s important we don’t start comparing times for every race. You might find some are worst, some about level, some better. At the moment it feels like we are juggling a bit with the training, but still ticking along well, fit, feeling strong and running well. That’s the most important thing. As I said Sunday, without the plan, one poor week can often lead to two, then three, and before you know it your looking for your mojo again. So I wouldn’t fret too much I still think you’ll be surprised at some of the times you can run in the months ahead. Often they happen when you least expect it. I’ll tweak this schedule based on this feedback. But great work Jan. Nice to see you both days although you know I was trying to have a weekend off right? 😂😂 Yes Sunday should be fine, not ideal for the handicap, but much nicer to run with a group if you can.
