In this episode of the Any Given Runday Podcast, Seán & Eric talk about their contrasting 10 mile runs and different goals with them while Conor gets something off his chest on the runs he sees online and Aaron talks consistency as time starts to run out on the Hare & Bear ChallengeSeán and Eric's 10 mile runs in a study in contrast, just like Rocky & Drago's training, according to Seán [1:15] While Eric is continuing to base his long run pace off his Heart Rate rather than how fast he could potentially go and how it was different to Seán's 10 mile run [2:20]Seán talks about setting out with a purpose for each run and how each run may not always be how quickly you do it. Running Intensity is not the same as Running Speed. [5:20]How to use Intervals to break the Sub 20 min goal (or any running goal) [7:15]The trick to how your Heart Rate can determine whether you need to take a rest day or take it easy on a particular day [9:45]The importance of consistency... and checking in with how Aaron is getting on [11:00]Conor's inching closer to the sub 20 min 5k [12:40]"Nominate 5, Run 5 and Donate 5"... plus what's "grinding Conor's gears" with the increase in the runs he sees online.
