So today’s long run was a very nice easy, stress free pace in pleasant sunshine.
Really enjoyed it!
If you saw my recent reels you’ll know I’ve been reflecting on my own fitness and health and the impact the recent heatwaves have had on my body!
I’d been really pushing well and reaching good levels of fitness to improve my cycle speed and power as well as my running over the last couple of years or so.
But recently I’ve blown a turbo in my engine and stuttering to finish runs and races.
I have to remember I’m in my 50’s and cannot train like I’m 25!
Yes I should know this as a coach but sometimes that ego raises up! I’m sure lots of you can relate! Let me know.
So now it’s time to rebuild the old diesel engine and build longevity.
Ditching the ego is the first thing!
I will share my Strava but no longer care if it’s slow! It’s all progress to rebuild a better engine and me.
