"And in those simple beautiful movements I remembered what was really important in training; that consistency trumps intensity; all the time. That intensity is born from consistency. That one cannot force it, one has to lay in wait for it, patiently, instinctively, calmly and be ready to grab it when Grace lays it down in front of you."

Slow and steady ruck
I was somewhat hoping my legs and hips wouldn't be trashed today and I might get some fast laps in but that wasn't the case. All good stuff, but my glutes and upper legs and calves were tight right from the start and I knew there wasn't going to be any fast anything.
So I slowed the pace and just went for steady with more than few breaks to just stand there and let the legs lighten up. that actually helps quite a bit,kind of the same way a walking break loosened up the legs when I was doing long distance running.
Tight legs are slow and fast fatiguing legs.
But it was cool and overcast and beautiful out and my mind was in the moment for a change and that was great.
