Hi all,
Welcome back to my running blog!
I am a little low on weekly kilometers this week as I had to incorporate some extra resting days to allow my new tattoo to heal a bit. The healing process seems to be doing just fine, so for me time to get back to training!
Starting today there is a weather warning in our country for the next 5 days. This means high temperatures (>35C) with very high humidity, so I will try to do my runs early or late to avoid peak temperatures.
This morning my run started at 07:40 with already 21C and a nice sun. Perfect to do my hill workout.
My strategy for the session was a bit different compared to my usual approach. Normally I take all 3 routes on the hill and make make it an interval training (3 climbs => rest => repeat).
Today I skipped the more technical climb and focussed on keeping the workload high. No resting but climbing side a, decending side b, climbing side b, decending side a (repeat). This did felt very good. Running averages around 5:30 / km comfortabele.
As I need to be a little carefull with sun exposure I decided to call it a day when I started to notice a little stronger burning. Realizing my next training should be starting a little earlier.
But had a very fun session!
Happy running!
