The end result of this morning’s HIIT
Evening Wednesday 29th May, Goondiwindi Queensland
The scheduled long run didn’t happen. By 4pm this afternoon I was very tired and ‘weary’- either because of this morning’s session (see previous post), or because of the long drive today or maybe just because it’s been a long week of travel. Either way, it was hard to get the energy to go for a run which was surprising because the ‘Goondiwindi Evening Run along the river’ is one of my favourite, all-time runs.
Anyway, an hour after the scheduled start I finally got going, with a revised plan of a shorter 60 minute run. I didn’t have any lights with me, and I had to meet work colleagues for dinner at the motel so I knew the run would have to be shorter than I had planned.
What I didn’t know was how strong the run would end up being. Although weary and a little breathless at the start, I ended up doing some quite fast long intervals. I ran 8kms and finished strongly.
A good lesson regarding building a plan based on a combination of HIIT sessions, weight sessions, fast runs and long runs. Going to be hard but I think it might also be a lot of fun.
Till next time, 'keep living, laughing, lovin' and runnin'
