Running 1:02:22 11.58 km (5:23 / km) +278m 4:49 / km
ahr:139 max:163 shoes: Nike Zoom Pegasus 35
Nice loop on Latrigg with Rhys then a loop at the end to get the time up.
Been thinking a lot about training and racing the last few days. A lack of a real goal or motivation has made it quite a tough season so far. Training up here is harder, tougher terrain, significantly more climb. I've been trying to hit paces and mileage that I have done in the past in more runnable areas, whilst also working 40hours~ a week on my feet and realistically that just isn't sustainable. Need to train smarter, time on feet/vertical gain are more important considerations than distance or pace here. I'm going to revise my calendar the next week or so to really target what I want to do this season before building longer term to some fixed goals. Think I will try and model training on last spring/summer when I was racing well and enjoying running more than I am currently. This won't mean necessarily running the same stats, but similar general overall feel. Will see how it goes but need to change something as currently what I'm doing just doesn's feel sustainable (hence the burnout on saturday!). Also probably need more time to recover between races as they're harder here as well.
