My first Fartlek run

February 16, 2021 (Morning)

Exercise Type: Run

Comments:
Today I completed my first ever random fartlek. I ran a little over 1 mile warm up down to East River Park then random fartleked till I exited the park below the Williamsburg bridge, a little less than a mile, and ran home for about a mile.
I was a little too excited last night when I decided I was ready to start slowly incorporating speed work into my runs. I was also nervous it was too early. My emotions were high. And they were high afterwards. Like somehow 10 minutes of running a little quicker on and off one time was going to hurt me(this was my experience in high school). I did it with ease and grace. And I will continue my running career with ease and grace.
