Moi? Just back from parkrun, where they’d managed to get it 40m off an actual 5km this week, simply by moving the out and back cone to the right bloody place
Oh, pacing?
What’s that then?
Sprint, catch breath, die, die, sprint.
That’s my plan for each KM.
My pacing like that is the other way around, my lungs and legs say that’s the correct the pace, but my head goes nah, that’s gonna hurt too much later, chill out more.
Not a great day for me at the parkrun either. Got up and then got a nosebleed! Then dropped the GF off at the shops and needed an emergency toilet break! Got to the parkrun as they were starting so I was pretty much last and trying to get through the crowd.
Wasn’t feeling great, didn’t have the greatest nights sleep and my HRV was 1 , the lowest I’ve ever seen, I’d have probably gone back to bed if the GF didn’t want to go shopping. I think the nosebleed just before it affected it though.
First 3k were a struggle then saw a young girl who had already been bent over looking a bit distressed. She had stopped again so I asked if she was alright and slowed down and walked\jogged with her and told her to take it easy and breathe. Sounds like she had a stitch and was just having a bad day. Her dad had dropped her!
Felt a bit awkward given I’m old enough to be her grandad but she was obviously not enjoying things, I was having a crap day so wasn’t bothered.
Then she legged it off with about 200m to go and dropped me
Anyway, just under 23 which actually wasn’t too bad as that would just about give me a 3:15 marathon I think?
Might jump on Zwift to stretch the legs but I’ve accepted this week will be a bit poor. Not felt great all week TBH, and my blood glucose was completely AWOL overnight yesterday
I have been thinking that, it’s more just an easy session to spin the legs and stop me sitting on my arse really. Probably more to keep the ADHD at bay as well
Not freshest legs but not too bad. Encouraging that a few months ago I was unable to run back to back days, so 15 miles after an 8 miler ain’t too bad all things considered.
Heard them this morning at g friends… didn’t see any while out. Briefly running through possil… biggest crowd I saw was along the canal - supporters heading to Firhill
