My usual a...Cheers for the vote of confidence Rich. My usual approach (e.g. first long run after long time out) is run as far as I can, pick a nearby landmark, run to that, and so on, until I REALLY can't go on. Make a note of where that is: next time round, try and beat that point. When I can get the whole way round (or in this case up) I then try and do it faster.

Without sounding airy-fairy, the trick is NOT to TRY and run up there, just go and do it!!<br />There's a subtle difference - if you try and run up there it means a)you'll almost be expecting to run at a "normal" pace and b)you have the possibility of failure. If you just do it, you do WHATEVER it takes to run up there, even if that means running on the spot for a moment to regain your breath/strength, Good luck!Richard Airlie-Gilberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08575231722521731110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7201568460327289987.post-39507362713609924832010-04-07T15:02:48.593-07:002010-04-07T15:02:48.593-07:00Erm, I was treating it like an interval session......Erm, I was treating it like an interval session...? <br />*Hopes this excuse is good enough*<br />;)GaryUFMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17151581237815711847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7201568460327289987.post-89994120808391348822010-04-07T08:54:54.622-07:002010-04-07T08:54:54.622-07:00wadya mean 1 minute rest?!!

And I'm using it in trying to swim distance! Doh. Will go back to my old ways tonight and hopefully formulate a meaningful goal.

Easier to show you but think I have a dvd/book somewhere unless I binned it?? Anyway happy swimming, wet suit and triathlons next!Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16246779571232063571noreply@blogger.com
