RE: Failed trainingsrun - a learning experience!

There is no shame in failing, as you know. At least you failed at a difficult goal. Plus you learned to make sure and take the extra day of rest after a hard workout.

How long will you rest until your next run? Waiting until Sunday or Monday?

Thanks! Yeah, these are real learning opportunities, especially when you are still weeks out you can make some adjustments!

My plan for tomorrow is to skip the zone 1 recovery run - make it a 90 min - guided meditation session (hopefully a powernap). On saterday I aim to do a recovery run. Sunday hard workout (tempo blocks)

Sounds like a good plan, enjoy!

Have you read the books Finding Ultra or Can't Hurt Me? They talk quite a bit about training and running, good books if you like reading!

Yeah I liked both! With David Goggings he is a different type of human being, won’t follow his approach haha. His reflections on the last pages are really interesting.

I am currently reading “in the spell of the Barkley”

Yes, Goggins is a different type of human for sure!

In The Spell of Barkley sounds like a good book. I've never heard of that race or the book. How do you like it so far?

Barkley Marathon is the most extreem run there is - last 35 years only different 15 psople finished. The book is written by a guy that only came to the “fun rounds”.

Book is awesome! But also will look into getting my hands on a book from one of the finishers!
