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!
