It rained incessantly last night. When I woke up, Coach Ravi called and said that none of the kids were coming to the track.
I peeked outside and it was still coming down hard. Usually rains don’t deter me, but I knew the roads would be messy so I decided to run on the treadmill.
Intervals on the treadmill isn’t ideal at all – especially long ones. To my coach Eilish’s surprise, I find treadmill running not easy. She says usually runners are faster on the TM. Well, not me.
At any rate I jumped on wearing racing shoes, hoping for extra bounce and a somewhat speedy run.
I did all the intervals – they were below prescribed pace speed but at any rate from an RPE point of view, I think I hit the spot.
Later, I did a hard workout, and watched the young boy on the treadmill do intervals faster than me. That rounded off a satisfying morning, especially his run.
