Saturday - AM Session

The Session: Run: 90-120 min @ 140-160hr after coach swim session

This is how it all panned out!

• Run to swimming (10km) (Valley Pool)
• Coach the squad
• Run Home (10km)

It was a good idea.......................at the time!

Couple of points to put it into context:

• It was quite warm at 5am and the Sun had not yet shown itself.
• Its was about 80-90% humidity.
• I was wearing a back pack.

Anyway.....................................................

The Stats Review:

Inbound:

Outbound:

Session Reflections:

• Very unmotivated and sluggish at the beginning of the run. I felt like a slug with the back pack on my back
• After 2km of running (inbound) I was wet through!
• The humidity was unbelievable...but it was one of those challenges you just have to tough out! Which I did! Normally I don't mind running in the heat! I wonder how much the unhealthy dinner the night before and the poor hydration affected me.....HEAPS!!!
• As the run went on things got a little better...the frame of mind improved...if I can just get the right mind set when I'm training I think I would improve even more!
• The run inbound was predominately downhill...therefore the run outbound was predominately uphill...........really an athlete like myself shouldn't be 'crying poor' over these such of challenges...it just a matter of hardening up...building a bridge and getting over it....this is what I meant in my previous point!
• The sun was out for the run home and it had just finished raining.....hmmmmmm nicccccce!
• The run outbound was a challenge...I took it in my stride and used it as a valuable learning experience!
