Tackling A Rainy And Intense Fitness Level Run

ByTim Nolte

It was a very short run this morning but the intent was to go all out and run as hard as I could for 12 minutes. uses these periodic runs to get a baseline fitness level to make adjustments to the training plan. I’m surprised I came in finishing at a 7:43 pace but that included both a 5 minute warm-up and cool-down intervals. I did end up averaging a 7 min/mi pace for the 12 minute intense part of my run.

Despite it being a rainy morning it still felt good to be out for a run. After the 2017 downpour, and consistent winter training, I’m pretty much good to run in anything. If you are going to run a race outside you have to train in everything if you want to be prepared.

    Fighting the Urge to Just Go Back to Bed

    ByTim Nolte
    Today was one of those mornings where after the alarm went off I ended spending the next 15 minutes debating with myself whether I should get ready to go run or just go back to bed and get some more sleep. I’m happy to say that running won today. #HWI #RiverBankRun #Run4Water #WhyIRun
