Warm up was fine, 8 x strides were fine. Confident of doing a quick time. Then I started and my legs just felt heavy and couldn’t maintain the pace I wanted. Slowly faded as run went on and even with a push at the end, I eventually finished 2 seconds off my post injury PB, so quite disappointed. Although actually a second faster than my 5k target per this dashboard. I know I can run much faster, so just need to say to myself that today wasn’t the day. 7 minute cool down (didn’t want to miss the Bimble photo again!).
I think sometimes we just need to accept that wasn’t our day, as you rightly said. You weren’t the only one either, I actually caught a few of the team walking today 🤷♂️😲 But both were positive in their feedback, both, like you, are running well and have strong recent times under their belts, so I’m not concerned, I know there are better days ahead. The most important thing is to tick off the training run and move on. So well done Ben. I’ll let you off a few mins CD as well.
