Last 3 weeks have been 20 miles/week so on top of going 5 whole extra miles over my weekly average on my 10 miles today I also stupidly did my long run after INTERVALS yesterday, not recovery or rest.

On top of the heat wave making it 90F and me forgetting my hydration belt in my fiance's car so I didn't have water mid run.

I did have carbs, sour patch kids, about 100g carbs were brought as last week's 10 miles was 1:40 with no bonk but I had water and it was cooler temps last week.

Very tough week on myself, glad next week is a deload and I know what not to do next time for sure.

Legs gave out and I had to walk the last mile.

10 intervals at 5k pace for 2 minutes

34:14 minutes, the loop I ran was 3.7 miles.

The coaching plays throughout, no hiccups with the guided audio at all! All pauses and starts and quips from the coach all right on time and on pace. Once I finish I look at my phone and it says I was "resting" for 20 minutes??? Then I see only 5 intervals were recorded. I could not stop the run and had to restart my phone entirely in order to end the run.

This is sadly not the first time, and happened my last interval session too. Anyone else? Or any fixes? Annoying having to go back in and manually add a new run with the corrected distance afterwards.

All other guided runs record perfectly without issue.

90° feels like 98° heat wave today I should have rescheduled this run...

​

Legs felt like I was treading through molasses by mile 2...

​

I survived and now I get to eat cake, so win/win?

If only I had a nice flat area to run lol damn rolling hill town

Week 12 day 3 of Half Marathon prep!

Runna's auto generated plans did not have much recovery or steady build up and I was worried about over training. I have heard good things about the guided runs here at Nike with Mr Bennett and the Half Marathon training plan looks like it has a ton of active recovery built in for injury prevention. Let's see where this takes me!

Half Marathon scheduled for September. Sub goal sub 30 5k!

My Return to Running plan is over!! My first continuous 5k in 37 minutes!!

Now what!?

Runna Return to Running 2.8 miles continuous

First sub 40 PB, I usually run 13min/mile but this morning was simple

Step 1: Wake up at 5am after going to bed super late

Step 2: Chug some coffee

Step 3: go for my run without any food in THE RAIN

Step 4: Apparently run 12 min/mile comfortably and PB everything

Man, bodies are weird. My worst conditions to be running yet was my best time so far while building my 5k base.

Wasn't necessarily planning on a 5k today but felt super strong and found it easy to keep moving :)

Planned run today was only 1.8 miles Conversational pace
