Morning Ed,
Trust you and the family and all the other master runners had a peaceful but festive Christmas. I missed Saturdays tempo run.
Went for long run this morning and what a struggle. All the overindulgence did not do me any favors.
First 30min my body felt like that first run after a long lay off.
time 31:26, avg hr 136, avg pace 5:46/km, dist 5.46km
Z2 - 10:30 (33%), Z3 - 19:47 (62%)
2nd 30min felt that maybe I once did run, and it slowly came back to me, but my body was making me pay.
time 30:07, avg hr 131, avg pace 5:30/km, dist 5:47km
Z2 - 24:41 (81%), Z3 - 5:10 (17%)
3rd 30min - did not happen. Did consider to push through another 30min, but I was really struggling. Called it a day. Hoping that my body will be forgiving and take it easy on me for Wednesday interval session.
---------------------------
Intervals this Wednesday morning on the last day of 2025..felt much better than on Monday. Family all gone home and things are turning to normal.
