SubscribeI have a bad habit of not properly pacing myself when I’m out on a solo run. I definitely can log miles on my own, but I feel more comfortable when I have at least one person running with me.
In the March edition of the Runner’s World magazine, the following advice is offered:
Starting out too fast can lead to a sudden increase in muscle waste products that can make you feel sluggish. Head out slowly – and remember, no pace is too slow.
Ah.
“No pace is too slow” is something I need to remember each and every time I head out on a training run. Hopefully this little tip serves as a friendly reminder for others who also have a hard time keeping the first few minutes under control.
