I was feeling a bit run down yesterday, almost like I had a cold coming on. Popped some vitamin C and echinacea last night and woke up feeling OK but sleepy. My head said, "But what would it matter if we don't run today?" I fought that one off and managed to get out and on the road by 5:20.
It seemed like my heart rate was marginally higher than normal. Or was I just running faster? Perhaps a little of both.
The 1600 m cruise intervals went fairly well. The first was a little slow at 6:13, even though it felt hard. Then the next ones were 6:08, 6:06, and 6:02. Heart rate got up to 163 or at most 165 towards the end of each rep.
Ran home in the high 130s HR, 4:50/km. A pretty good workout.
Hi Steve, you seem to run so well.
ReplyDeleteI totally sympathize with what your head said. It matters, but we all want to believe it doen't, sometimes... Gambaro.
