Can't help thinking it's lying

'What a session! You improved your speed and efficiency. Also significantly developed your aerobic fitness and ability to sustain high intensity effort for longer.'

I find that hard to believe. Week 6 and to me it seemed I was doing a worse job than I did in week 1. As Younger Son said, training apps want you to keep using them so will be positive and complimentary. I'd go further and say they lie.

I decided I'd have a change of scenery so headed along the road, pausing only occasionally to peep in people's gardens, then down thorough Singleton park before coming back along the beach. I though I my speed might improve as a lot of the time would be spent going downhill. What I didn't allow for was the detail that to go downhill I first had to go up a bit. And then a bit more. All very gradual so you don't really notice it when you're in a car but you do when you running it. 

Again I use the term loosely. Last week I tried to do some fast spurts but they were very short so this week I decided I'd jog for the high intensity bits and walk briskly for the low intensity. I struggled even with that.

Never mind, 6 down only two more sessions to go! Yipppee yi aye!
