Running Again by Sammystar

I could really use some more energy today - a 6 mile run today felt tough compared to Tuesday and I was slower today!!! I had been busy planning my Spinning classes for the next 12 week block today and was thinking about how I might encourage members in my classes to enjoy 'endurance' classes, the spinning equivilant of a slow/steady run 65 - 75% MHR and the importance of recovery and not working hard all the time hit me again.

It is so important to treat our bodies with the respect they deserve especially when we want something from them, like an improvement of fitness. I backed off today when I realised that for whatever reason my body just did not want to go any faster today something I wouldn't have done 6 months or so ago!

As the weekend is here and I have only 2 classes left for the week I can feel energy starting to come again, especially if I take it a bit easier tonight. Tomorrow mornings class, even though sometimes it hard to get up on a saturday, usually leaves me feeling really good!
