Today I did half mile Repeats. The training plan only suggested this one other time. It was so hard in October and so hard today. The heat made it even worse today. I did not make my times. I didn't make it last time. This time I was really short on time so I kept looping near my house and cut the cooldown short when I just couldn't stay out any longer. I didn't get enough time to cooldown or stretch. Then I showered and immediately sat for a meeting for an hour. My muscles are not happy with me. I have been psyching myself out for my runs lately with my updated faster goals. Today and this week I've been so rushed I didn't even have time to psych myself out. I was mid run before I looked to see what my goals were. I had hand fulls of ice in my vest but I wish I had even more. That was some warm water I was drinking.
The last 3 recovery splits I walked for 3 full minutes!! Maybe next time I will walk more earlier to not be so dead later. The very last split I felt like the wind was hitting me like crazy and I was not happy with it slowing my already slow body down.
It was hot so I wore my vest so that I could drink more water but the vest makes me way sweatier.
I often do 4 minute repeats but for some reason that extra 30 seconds makes it harder or maybe it's all mental that I don't know when it'll be done.
I attached 10/19/21 splits too for fun.
