I have become a Dad in the past 5 months. Something that has had a fantastically positive effect on my life.
With fatherhood comes plenty of change and one thing that has taken a bit of a bashing has been my running.
I have still managed to get a few runs a week but I have had to be pretty flexible. Grabbing 30 mins here and there pretty early in the morning or late at night. One run started at 10.15pm. Not recommended.
Every run has been a tempo or speed session. No LSD for me at the moment.
This doesn’t mean that when it happens the running hasn’t been enjoyable. When you know you only have a limited time available you squeeze all you can. That’s what every session should be like. You don’t have to become a parent to learn that lesson!
