Due to feeling wonky towards the end of the week I wasn’t sure if I would even be OK to run, but glad I got out. I think having beautiful new fancy shoes may have influenced me to get out as I was very keen to test them… they are fantastic, and the correct colour of course.
Laura and I set out for a relaxed pace trail-ish run, was mindful to watch how I was feeling (energy levels still low and head wobbly) but it was mostly fine, no niggles or major dizzy spells. Probably went a little slower than I could have comfortably as Laura started to struggle after 10k (also recovering). She stopped at 15k so I carried on and picked up the pace comfortably which felt good, ran up the hills home and was tied but not destroyed, phew. A bit of that fitness crept back which was nice, but I’m still way off from where I was – so glad I didn’t get in for either of the fast HMs on Sunday as I think I would have been very disappointed. Managed 19k, in ~1:50:00 – that was about the right amount for me that day.
Just glad you are starting to feel better, so great work on the run. Yes either of the HMs would have been tough and too soon based on this feedback. Although sad not to have you there at PW as it was one of the best days we’ve had as a team and for me as a coach. You just never know until the day what is going to happen so to have pretty much everyone, not only achieve their goals, but go beyond that, was fantastic.
