I’ve also been feeling flat. Illness coinciding with my holiday. Ambitious plan has morphed into a easy runs. My plan was to go full pelt at parkrun tomorrow but I don’t think that’ll happen. I ran an out and back 10k this morning, lazy feet caused me to hit the deck and at turnaround I stood around for ages. Fun running through the giant corn
Got my first and last long run done today. Legs are miraculously feeling good. Thought I’d be in pieces having not really done much over 20km this year. But I’m feeling good.
Ran my IM test circuit 4 times with the ‘commute’ to the loop plus some extra at the end. Ran a strict 160-165bpm cap up the hills for first 2 loops and then let that drift to 165-170 for loops 3 and 4. Rest of the running (descents and rollers) was done on RPE with an eye on HR. Tried keeping effort the same, but just let pace be whatever it wanted to be.
Legs tightening a tad at around 30km, but perfectly manageable. Honestly really shocked at how strong the legs were. Especially on the back of a record rolling 7 day load of 15.5hrs (including this run).
Best thing of all. No carbon involved at all. Raceday VFs and the power of the crowd still to come!
He asked if it was with planned stops were you paused the watch?!
Another one to reply said ( and she was being serious) does he use peds?
Lol.
5 min kms is a 3:30 marathon IF you come off the bike in any sort of shape you will be running past 100”s great run and I like many on here will be tracking you !
Good job I tested the brakes a couple of times as a driver tried to take me out five minutes later. New bike proved its nimbleness and I skidded/swerved around the car turning in front of me. Cunt didn’t stop of course.
