I don't know if it is the fact that it I am up and the sun isn't, or that I am not a farmer at heart, but early morning workouts are the bane of my existence. I kid you not - ok I kid a little.
The good news: I succeeded in my attempt to wake up and make it to the gym. Also, the treadmills are working! The woefulness: my goal was 3-4 miles, while the result was 2.5 miles INCLUDING warm-up and cool down.
Sure I haven't run in over 3 weeks, and I haven't run in the morning in 2 months, but still. I had hoped for a better performance. I suppose this lament is a little dramatic and I should be proud that I not only made it to the gym at 5 am, but was physically able to move in what some scientists would call a "running" gait. In fact, I will be happy with my little success.
Hey Brooklyn,
ReplyDeleteProud of you working out so hard. Running on the treadmill is definitely harder than running outside. Maybe try to get an evening hard workout in and an easy run the next morning to get the sensation of running on "tired" legs.
Keep up the good work!
