Push or Coast?

Went for a 3.33 mile run today - slow, short miles after a longer day yesterday..

Still listening to my latest obsessive sci-fi reading - Persepolis Rising, which is Book 7 of the Expanse series. A truly wonderful standout in the field of sci-fi.

Some roles don’t feel right, and some feel more comfortable. Should we be pushing ourselves always or might we do better with something that is less challenging?

I don’t have the answers on that one, but was thinking about that, and how I need to stretch my calves more to avoid shin splints as I ramp up the mileage again.

Meanwhile, here are the geekier running details.

I use iSmoothRun for tracking on an iPhone and linked to an Apple Watch. iSmoothrun allows me to customize a workout better than most apps I have used.

Fuller stats found at Smashrun here.

Also here I am at Strava here.

I follow and connect via both platforms, but more on Strava.

Some details for the run:

Running Time: 32:41
Total Distance: 3.33 miles
Avg. page: 9:49/mile
