Running with someone else has given me a bit of a jolt in that since …. I’m not actually sure when …. I’ve been running in a bit of a comfort zone. It’s been a case of mileage being king, more miles the better and thats it. Time on feet is important but I’ve realised I’ve been doing most of my training in a relatively easy zone, how often am I really training “hard” I’ve slipped into the habit of slow hills and nice easy runs. If I was recovering thats fine but all the time?
So a little speedwork here and there, some of the old fartlek type things have come into play plus hill sprints. Speedwork I quite like, hill sprints I do not. But I think all these things easy, fast and fuck hills need to come together if I want to make the improvements to run well for the rest of the year. Oh and listening to my body (before it breaks down not after)

Sounds like you need a Polar HR Training plan 🙂

obviously you need a HR monitor and it HELPS if you have a Polar watch because it VIBRATES when you over or under your Zones.

Ahhh no chance I don’t really believe in all the tech and zones and this and that. Havent run with a HR belt in over 6 months as it doesnt tell me much I dont know. As for plans they seem more restrictive than anything else. Must do this, Cant do that. Sounds like a job. Thanks but I’ll just make it all up as I go along
