  • Finding the Groove at 1:49

    My first commitment of the day cleared early, and that gave me the chance I was hoping for, to get to the gym and onto the rowing machine.

    Today’s plan was all about preparing for another 2K test later this week. ChatGPT suggested a ten-minute warm-up followed by 4 x 250m sprints at a race pace of 1:49/500m.

    It felt good to be moving with purpose. I found a groove about 100 meters into the first set, so I stayed with it.

    I ended up doing ten sets of 250m, all within the 1:49 target, with the last three a little quicker again.
    It was controlled. Not maxed out. Not chasing a time.
    Just strong, clean work.

    And that sadness from yesterday? Writing helped loosen it, but I didn’t chase it. I didn’t try to fix it. I just let it be. And like most things, it passed.

    I’m learning that sometimes, that’s all it needs, not solving, just sitting with.

    It’s Tuesday. Work is calling. And I’m walking into the day sharper and steadier.

    This is The Sub-7 Experiment.
