As you said though, the workout will have achieved it's goals, and I reckon the C2S race is one of the best training runs ever - so you've had a good week! And go, the biscuitboy!

'Although I didn't hit the pace...You said: <br />'Although I didn't hit the paces exactly as dictated/intended for the session, I was still in the right ranges and certainly felt like I had done the work required.'<br /><br />It reminded me of when I was training in my late-teens/early 20s my coach would get pretty feisty if he ever caught us checking our watches. All sessions were based on honest effort. Five-eighths, three-quarters and seven-eighths were his favourites. It makes a lot of sense. The fact that you don't nail a prescribed pace doesn't devalue the session if you nail the intended efforts (cause the prescribed pace doesn't consider what else you've been doing). By the same token, if you're running out of your skin, you could nail the prescribed pace but potentially be bludging. <br /><br />With GPS and every kind of measurement device, it can be pretty easy to concentrate on time and distance so much that we don't actually acclimatise to the 'callousing of the mind' that comes from sustained efforts - watch or no watch.<br /><br />Just a thought...Simon Elliotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17186098366143276792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1382714127608723752.post-41872239114076715422009-09-03T21:58:46.067+08:002009-09-03T21:58:46.067+08:00CONGRATS to Biscuitboy!!!! :)CONGRATS to Biscuitboy!!!! :)Jen Feenyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12857381064146340597noreply@blogger.com
