| Today you are going to be treated to another Garmin screen shot I'm afraid, but it's not one without some significance; I managed my first post-ultra run today, a nice steady 10k in which I thoroughly enjoyed a bit of (gentle) speed! Having spent the last few months training myself to go slow for reasons of injury recovery, pacing duties and a need to endure 12 hours of running, it felt really great to let all the 'should', 'could' and 'ought to' just disappear in my trail as I ran whatever the heck speed felt good. I took a steady 2/3 mile warm up as I 'cased the joints' and worked out how I was feeling before kicking out a couple of 7.40 minute miles (or there abouts) and then a slow down to bring it home. Interestingly, later this afternoon/evening as I cycled about town visiting a couple of mates, I noticed the Garmin Recovery Advisor had me clocked at only 'fair' recovery. I guess the old heart rate is still a tickle elevated so maybe there's some background recovery still ongoing... but other than that... I feel good! \o/ |  |
