The Z5 intervals were intimidating at the start of my session. The fun of a group session with my @team_varlo #trifamily was the perfect distraction. I found myself asking if I’d missed a couple of the intervals - time flew by 👏🏽👏🏽.

I’m so ready to overcome the deep-seated anxiety of running hard 😣. As I was running in Z2 knowing a z4 interval was coming my heart rate jumped up before I even began the interval. Then the negative thoughts filled me with doubt and uncertainty which spiral sabotage the effort.

I’ve been able to feel the impact of reduced mobility in my spine and hips on training and my overall daily movement.

My first attempt at fartleks was not pretty. Still learning 👊🏽!

Yeah 👊🏽!! Intervals and ROTB making me feel the discomfort of pushing is exactly what I needed after doing little to nothing the past few weeks.

After two weeks of no training, I’m feeling the pull of movement again. The break did wonders for my mind and body. During the sunrise bendy-stretchy 🧘🏽 practice I gelt felt more stable than I have in a long time. I was less in my head and more in the moment.

The long-ass race report is up.

My day ended with a very disappointing DNF.

Tick-tock ….

A most beautiful shakeout ride today ☀️🚴‍♂️🌊🍃
