✨TIMED RUNS🏃🏼‍♀️⚡️ a big reason people struggle with running is being disappointed they aren’t running a certain distance in a certain time and end up giving up if they don’t see immediate improvement I do that all the time! last fall, I even DNF’d a marathon because I was so tied up in a speed goal and overworked myself for six weeks trying to hit that goal for the next race and burned myself out from running for a longgggg time so we’re resetting this year I know I’m training for a long race but we’re aiming to do mostly time-based running since I’m not going for a speed goal here and I’m encouraging you to try adding a few time-based runs into your routine as well! don’t worry about going a certain distance just go out for 20 minutes, 30 minutes or 60 and see at the end where that got you! I also love knowing we’re only going to be out that set amount of time. do I mostly run 6 miles in 60 minutes? sure but some days it can be 55-70 minutes, depending on the route and weather and it’s just nice knowing I’m only going to be out as close to 60 minutes on the dot as I can! #ultramarathon #ultramarathontraining #runningwithdogs #dogsthatrun #dogsthatexplore #nonstopdogwear #canicross #canicrossdogs #longdistancerunner #runnersofinstagram
