Today's run was a short economy pace run. Nothing much to see here.

parkrun this morning, but I used it as a chance to do my TrainAsOne 6 minute assessment run. So a slow start, followed by 6 minutes of running flat out and finishing the rest of the 5km, trying to keep my heart rate in zone 3.

So even though I had a sprint in the middle, overall, it was a slow stopwatch time at parkrun today. But, TrainAsOne needs these assessment runs to determine my fitness and pace, so a worthy sacrifice 😊

Today's run was a progression run. A slow pace for 17 minutes, medium pace for 17 minutes and fast pace for 17 minutes, followed by a recorded 5 minute cooldown jog/walk so TrainAsOne can assess my recovery.

(For who don't want to see my running posts, I will always use the #workout hashtag, so you can mute that tag to avoid them)

I left it too late in the morning though, and the temperature had risen higher than I expected, so I struggled with the heat a lot. I hit a HR max of 171, which is higher than I've gone in a long time! I'm carrying extra body fat since covid, and that makes it harder for me to shed heat during hard runs, which I feel on days like today!

One day I'm going to come to terms with the fact that my "fast" pace today is slower than my old training pace, but today is not that day :P

But, I did it!
