Damn I really need to incorporate some track splits @jpfraneto.eth says they are an absolute game changer

Veni Vidi Vibes... Fitness, Photography, Fuckin around and finding out

haha i said the exact same thing. but then i started planning too much about "what i would listen to". and created an unconsious hierarchy that needed to be optimized. so that i could "make the most out of that run". and then that everything became the absolute equivalent of "nothing". so that was the easiest solution. nothing

The no music thing is super interesting to me.

I see a lot of runners forgo music the more serious they take running.

But for me running is a balance between complete disassociation (try to forget your even running and enjoy the nature around you) which music is necessary for

And being absolutely in tune to everything you're doing, where music is a distraction.

And in some races headphones aren't even allowed, which I can't even imagine running for hours without them 🙈

yep, they are a game changer. it is fun to have those missions. i always do 2km of warmup, then the series that i have for that day, and then 2km of cooldown. the series of today, for example, are 6x1200m@4:44m/km

its like an absolutely focused mission that i know i need to crush. i now even run without music, because of how focused i like being in the mission and how my body feels through it

That's definitely what I need to work on, my stride/gate is so bad. 

I mostly just slog and move a little faster than a brisk walk, so my step rate is slower than what's ideal.

And pace wasn't too important originally, but now it's getting cumbersome to not prioritize it

They help you unlock that speed and change the tempo from the constant stride. 

It helps me a lot!
