RE: Run Journal #11 - 2 Mile Run Check

in #running7 years ago

I know how hard it is when your brain is shouting run, but your cannot. Maybe set up your training every second day and the days when you not running make fast walk.
Your body will get some activity everyday, and your legs will adjust to moving and will get some recovery from running.
It happens to me on the beginning that when I make a goal to run 3 km at once, I was counting meters to finish line, instead of focus on the run.
Maybe instead of run/walk intervals make easy run how long you can. I hope you good recover before next workout.

Thanks so much @browery on your advise. That's exactly what happened to me - 'counting meters to finish line, instead of focus on the run'. I think another one my weakness is that I want to always think of improving quickly, and it did feel like I rushed myself a bit on that last run.

Yes, great suggestion! I'll incorporate slowly doing longer runs and not shock my system abruptly.
