Morning run - Soggy

It was another wet one today, but not pouring down. We had a brief storm yesterday that started with some lightning and had some hail. I would not want to be out in that.

You may notice this is a little quicker than some of my runs. I was going to do long intervals, but given the conditions I opted for 'fartlek' (fast play - improvised intervals).

I was running on the cycle path to Stotfold again. There are various trees and other things to use as targets for the sprints. That can get busy when the schools are open, but they are off this week.

You can see that my pace varied a lot. I try to stay under 6min/km most of the time and speed up to around 4:40 on the sprints. That is about as quick as I go.

Strava thinks my heart is working hard. That ought to be good for me. I recover quickly and my resting heart rate is fairly low.

I was reading that people of my age are losing some of their 'get up and go'. That may be the case with me, but I am trying to stay active and keep trying new things. I hope to have a few decades of quality life ahead of me, but my running is likely peak at some point.

Run free and stay well.
