I had a spare hour to run in between appointments. As my planned hill session for Wednesday would be making my schedule to tight, I decided to go for the hill work today.
When I got to the hill it started raining quite a bit making me pretty underdressed. Luckely I was wearing a cap so I would not get the rain in my face. I decided to make it a stronger effort than planned. Instead of doing a technical session, I went for some tempo work in the sets, not all out but a considerable faster pace compared to last Sunday.
Doing so felt good, it kept me warm and the tempo got used very quick. After 10 minutes I wasn’t even bothered with the rain anymore.
While I did took nutrition with me, I opted to stick to just drinking some electrolytes and ignore the energy gels for now. The run was short enough to just work through without any issues.
Whereas I normally run with my music on, I decided to run without today - mostly as this is something I also need to train for the Jungfrau Marathon as I will be running alongside a friend - so curious how I will experience that as it felt very easy to just create your own bubble with music , put your game mode on and keep out all distractions. Going to be fun!
Happy Running!
