Back on Track: Training Diaries: Week 22

I get things back on track this week after doing something silly. Consider this a how to video on recovering from a niggle.
Training for a marathon is like fighting a gorilla. You don't fight until you're tired, you fight until the gorilla is tried. H. Keddell, 2018.

I feel guilty walking between the reps and try and do a slow jog haha
Nice speed splits👌
How did you set your watch for the splits? I have a Garmin 955

Don't feel guilty, think about the purpose of the workout. If it's a fartlek, where you are trying to build fatigue and still hit a pace when fatigued, then you need to jog or float the rests. If it's an interval, where you are trying to hit a pace that is quite fast, then walk the rests. it's all about meeting the purpose of your workout. It took me a long time to get that through my head.
I don't have a garmin so can't show you exactly, but here's a link to a video on how to set up the workouts: th-cam.com/video/HgNNRnvEa7A/w-d-xo.html

What's your aim for the marathon?

[@runningwithaj]

I’m just training for the half at the moment. I’ve never been under 90 minutes so I’d like to knock that milestone off in Cairns if I can.

Best of luck with it. I definitely reckon you can do it
