Β‘Hola a todos, espero que tengan una preciosa noche de domingo!
El dΓa de hoy me gustarΓa compartirles sobre mi entrenamiento, que si bien fue en solitario, y no logrΓ© los tiempos y distancias que querΓa, no dejΓ© que el desΓ‘nimo me ganara y culminΓ© mi entrenamiento, y eso tambiΓ©n es importante, Β‘vamos allΓ‘!
TenΓa en mente correr mΓ‘s de 10km, fue la meta con la que salΓ, e incluso dije "saldrΓ© mΓ‘s temprano de lo usual para poder completar la distancia y no llegar tan tarde a casa", ademΓ‘s que tuve inspiraciΓ³n de mi mamΓ‘ pues me comentΓ³ que una amiga de ella corriΓ³ 18km, asΓ que salΓ de casa sΓΊper motivado, solo que no tomΓ© el cuenta un factor importante: Como salΓ mΓ‘s temprano, el sol estaba mΓ‘s fuerte.
CorrΓ haciendo mi mejor esfuerzo, pero con el sol fuerte de las 4pm me fui agotando rΓ‘pidamente y eso resultΓ³ no solo en un ritmo mΓ‘s lento de mi promedio, sino que tambiΓ©n tuve que detener la carrera en el kilΓ³metro 8, porque siendo honesto, no me sentΓa para nada bien.
Con decirles que la distancia fue de 8.19 km y, con un ritmo promedio de 7:20 /km, me sentΓ un poco bajoneado por correr 8k en 1 hora con 5 segundos. Tuve que detenerme, tomar sombra y agarrar un bus a casa.
No cometerΓ© de nuevo el error de correr con tanto sol, y espero lograr mi objetivo de ir aumentando las distancias, ya es hora de desafiarme a mΓ mismo.

Hi everyone, I hope youβre having a wonderful Sunday night!
Today Iβd like to share a bit about my workout. Even though I trained alone and didnβt hit the times and distances I wanted, I didnβt let discouragement get the best of me and I finished my workoutβand thatβs important, too. Letβs get to it!
I had planned to run more than 10 kmβthat was my goal when I set outβand I even said to myself, βIβll leave earlier than usual so I can cover the distance and not get home too late.β Plus, I was inspired by my mom, who told me that a friend of hers ran 18 km, so I left home super motivated. The only thing was, I didnβt take one important factor into account: Since I left earlier, the sun was stronger.
I ran as hard as I could, but with the intense 4 p.m. sun, I quickly started to run out of steam. This not only resulted in a pace slower than my average, but I also had to stop running at the 8-kilometer mark because, to be honest, I wasnβt feeling well at all.
Suffice it to say that the distance was 8.19 km, and with an average pace of 7:20/km, I felt a bit down about running 8k in 1 hour and 5 seconds. I had to stop, find some shade, and catch a bus home.
I wonβt make the mistake of running in such strong sunlight again, and I hope to achieve my goal of gradually increasing my distancesβitβs time to challenge myself.
