The Holme Run

Today I ran a 10k at the ATW Nottingham Holme Run 🏃‍♂️. 

My time was 1:06:18, which is a new PB for me at this distance! 🎉

But… it wasn’t my best race. 😓 My heart rate stayed high the entire time (average 177 😳), and my performance condition was below baseline. Over the past week, my HRV, training readiness, and body battery were all in the rock bottom ⚠️, my sleep was poor 😴, and my watch kept telling me I was “strained” ☹️.

I felt drained, so I listened to my body and skipped training on Friday. 💪 I had an active day and my body battery was only at 7% – definitely not the best state for a workout! 🔋 Thankfully, after a solid night’s sleep 🛏️, my HRV returned to normal, and my body battery recharged to 81% (up from 31% earlier this week!). 🔋✨ I’m glad I gave myself the rest I needed.

Sometimes, recovery is just as important as training! 🧘‍♂️💥
