The Value Of Mental Prep Easing Into A Run - 6km

Hi all,

Westleigh 6.2km 35:38

Tonight I re-learned the lessons of mental preparation and easing into a run. I got home and was feeling a bit weak or low in energy. So I changed into the full Cool Running kit and Race Ready tri shorts.

While I did some kitchen and washing chores I had a banana and a small packet of chips. After an easy half an hour and being in the gear I felt like the run.

I started easily I finished quite strongly. Yesterday 6 km in 42 minutes and felt sore all the way. Today 6.2km in 35:38 and actually felt fine all the way - with some slight groin strain at 3-4km so running with in myself at the end.

Go figure.

cheers Plu
