Sweetspot Training

"Now I've sat down on the stairs will I ever actually manage to stand up and make it up the stairs..."
16 Miles long run. And it was a good one. Maybe because I followed my own good advice (for a change 🤣).

One of the challenges of running slower is that it takes longer. Its tempting to just want to get it done, but I set my mind and stayed focused on the aim of the session. Of running for time rather than distance and had an awesome long run.

Have struggled on previous weeks in the last couple of miles, due to putting in some quicker miles through lack of discipline and because I felt good. This week I hit a better average and was consistent with my pace.

The best way to judge and pace a long run is can you finish faster than you started and still feel comfortable. This week it was definitely a Yes, Yes Yes!!
