Notes

More and more lights and decorations to enjoy. Beautiful sunrise colors. Felt a bit more invigorated today and more at peace with pace. 20%

Your takeaway: Running faster on your easy days is not important, nor is it a sign of increasing fitness. Focus instead on the purpose of easy runs — recovering from hard workouts and preparing the body for upcoming sessions.

“Workouts are for improving specific physiological systems, not for proving how fit you are. You prove your fitness on race day.”
