#15 – 50 Runs in 100 days – Spring edition

The original plan this evening was to run with a running friend on St Hans but she got a sore throat and cancelled.

First I decided that I would run 3 laps on St Hans but then I thought that intervals would be better.

Big mistake to choose intervals.

I think my pulse watch is mad with me because I have not run in a while.

Saturday the pulse watch was happy but this evening the watch was in a very bad mood, really tested my patience.

First it hang and I had to go back to my home and wait for it to let loose, did not want to do a 5 finger reset.

Got back out and realized that the pulse belt was inside, took it off while I was waiting for it let loose.

Back in again and out and used my training program but twice it just shut down so then I decided to just use the hilly interval mood.

Realized it was windy and on the first interval the upwind hit me hard, oh in the beginning it was like running through tar. Long time ago I was that beat after the first interval so I walked for approximately 2 min, second interval I got close to 160.

2 min walk

Third interval at the end I got way above my threshold pulse which is 160, you are going to stay under your threshold pulse during the intervals, I try to stay around 157.

2 min walk and now I just wanted it to be over.

It felt that I was running on max on every interval even if I was sometimes around 150-153.

Finally the cool down where I walked first for a short moment and then ran the last part.

Gosh I am still beat 🙂
