I accidentally deleted our photo but I'm so glad we got up and worked this morning 💪🏾
Three things I want to say about this awkward car stretch pic: 1. This week started uphill. I was a little under the weather early in the week so I knew going in that this would not be my strongest dash. 2. PRE, perceived rate of exertion, matters. Research indicates that it is a fairly accurate assessment of how hard your body is working. Despite the fact that I didn't "hit"paces that I know I can on this interval run, I gave what was in this morning's tank. 3. Ladies, Normalization of periods, PMS, and other hormonal shifts is absolutely necessary for truly understanding how your body may, or may not, perform throughout the course of the month. Give it what you got and don't sweat it if today's best doesn't live up to expectation 👍🏾👊🏾💪🏾 Work✅
Saturday Morning work ✅
Word on the street is that hill repeats are great for building strength, speed, and mental toughness. Sounds good, right??? I thought I'd add them to my regimen and 🗣 Listen, the hills were just plain disrespectful. 2 mile warm-up 3 repeats .5 mile recovery 4 repeats 2 miles at as close to race pace as I could muster to finish. I hadn't done repeats in a while so I didn't worry so much about pacing them. But, to ensure I was in a "training" state, I made sure I put some effort into boogieng up the incline. I'll let you in on a secret- your body likes to be challenged. Doing the same workout brings about adaptation. You become more efficient and you just don't get the same effect. Not seeing the results you want? Try something different and see how much you grow.
Monday after the holiday got me like 😭😭😭☕☕☕
