It's thanks to the power of the blog that I found to motivation to run today - so thank you guys for getting it happening.
My (extremely un-scientific) intervals consist of different sections around the edge of the uni AFL oval - from the light-post to the cricket nets, from the nets to the edge of the goal-posts, from the goals to the next light-post, to the edge of the club-rooms, to the big tree, etc etc.
I've been alternating jogging and properly running between sections, joining sections together to make longer fast(er) runs, and allowing myself a walking break for 20 breaths here and there. Being a luddite and a cheapskate means no fancy strava maps for me. Probably a good thing, as they'd just show a tiny oval anyway...
Apart from the improvements in fitness which I'm sure I can see already, what I hope to achieve from this is a greater sense of confidence - feeling like I can rightfully set foot on the oval, rather than like I'm some sort of impostor. I'm counting on this happening with time, but if anyone out there has some words of encouragement, I'd love to hear them. Thanks team!
Bec you're already a weapon as a primary cutter! You'll be a force to be reckoned with if you keep up this training!
ReplyDeleteAw, thanks for the kind words! And inspiring posts with funky maps - it's great. x
