For the second week of running the motivation for a new project was gone. I had to be really disciplined so get out there and do the runs. But I did and what I noticed was that it was easier for me to stay in a lower heart rate zone. During the first week it was all over because I was not used to running.
I started the week with the same run as I ended the first week with: 5 km to Arginonta (I was still on Kalymnos) and it was a huge difference! I felt stronger, like I had more of a ”step” with power in it. It felt 30% easier than the first time and I was 3 minutes faster.
The rest of the week was tough and I only ran shorter runs because I was working on our climbing camp the whole week so I did not have much time or energy for running. Still I made three runs and the last one was the longest and it had a really steep and long hill that was never ending…
