Today’s run was similar to yesterday’s in so many ways. I felt like I was running at least 10 per cent faster than last week, that my heart rate was lower and that I’d made significant progress over the last seven days.
Now the facts: At other times in my life I may have found very it depressing that I ran today a few seconds slower than last week, despite cooler weather and a breeze. I’ll take a little consolation in the fact that my heart rate was lower at 157bpm.
One difference between this week and last week is that I didn’t take a drink with me today. Nor did I really hydrate during the day at all. Anyway, despite the harsh statistics, today felt fantastic – and that’s what counts.
