August rolls on by! We have been putting a lot of emphasis on “tracking” and “sharing” our workouts this summer…this has sort of been the natural progression in an era combining COVID-19 and Strava…
Heck, I even made a reference in the Junior Blog to our emphasis on using GPS watches and mile pace to better progress our training and measure improvement as we worked on running goals…
But even still, we can all benefit from stepping away now and then and just enjoying the workout. Hence the Masters Workout of the Week is NOT one that will appear on fitness tracking dashboard! The challenge this week is to train solo for a session, with no tracking. Maybe you keep your watch on you to remember what time it is, and when you start/end the session (especially if you have a meeting or deadline to be at post-workout) but keep the stopwatch and GPS off.
Focus on the trail ahead, the curve of the road, or the summit of the mountain. Find a great headspace and just go for it.
Here’s a short little article from Running Magazine discussing a bit about how it can be good to disconnect a bit!
You don’t need to share your workout because, well, hopefully nobody (including you) will even know too much about the numbers-based details!
When all you need to focus on is the road ahead!
