EEEEKKK I wouldn’t normally run two days in a row but there was no way I could manage to run on Tuesday after I had played Padel and Tennis for 3 hours in total!
Tonight’s run is for 49 minutes in total. I thought this was my longest run that I have completed so far but I forgot on Boxing Day I ran for 60 minutes!! Mind you that was at a steady(ish) pace as it was a Long Run!
I have no idea… what my Half Marathon Pace is like or 5K for that matter…. Until now… I only ever consider my pace to be slow and slower. Mind you this is because I would usually run way too fast to start off with and then gradually get slower and slower as time went on. Oh how I am changing! and for the better.
So with the different pacing options, I am going to try and aim for the suggest speeds/pace that the app has me down for. Whether I will be able to maintain it is a different matter but I shall give it a damn good go. If I don’t think I can keep it up for all of the last intervals I will decrease the pace slightly and if I have to do this workout again. I would start of with a slow pace for the longer runs at the beginning but increase the speed at the end so that I can maintain the whole times. At the moment, it is trial and error with pacing as it is something that I am not used to.
What a nightmare….. I did an extra 8 minutes and 22 seconds as I started my warm-up and my shoe lace came undone and I thought I had pushed the pause button but oh no I pushed the stop button… I could have just carried on to complete the 10 minute warm-up but nope… I thought I would reset the clock… Why oh why did I think this was such a good idea at the time?? Nope me neither.
The first 3-4 intervals were not too bad but then boy oh boy could I feel it. I didn’t think that I was going to have the lung capacity to continue but I stuck with the game plan although I did slow my pace down a little bit. I was a little gutted as I thought I had finished all of my hard work but then I heard… now work… beep beep beep insert lots of swear words here…. I still have one final push left to go. Then hurrah I can walk! Get in!
