🧱 Brick sessions are back 🧱

I used the Garmin Plan feature for the first time today and really liked how my watch only told me my heart rate and not my pace ⛑️

There’s too much noise out there about pace and subconscious pressure to perform in every run. I REALLLLLLY don’t like when we describe our runs as slow 🐌 like who are we, the pace police 👮‍♀️ 🚔🚨
Your slow is someone’s top speed and they’re out there doing their best 🏎️

We runners need to stick together and lift each other up. It doesn’t matter if you’ve run a 3min km or an 8min km, your out there giving it a go and that’s what matters 🫶

“Heart rate high, 157” is a sentence I never thought I’d hear. Big thanks Garmin for humbling me today as usually I’d be chuffed with that 🤪
No, I wasn’t running my top speed, but I found this run a challenge and struggled to keep my HR within the zones Garmin wanted me to.

Patience in your training is how you learn to run fast on race day ⏩

Thanks for coming to my ted talk 🗣️

Don't believe everything Garmin tells you. Mine tells me I have to rest for 4 days after a trail adventure. 😂
