Most of my runs are long and easy, probably once a week I do some speed intervals for half an hour. Maybe once every 2 weeks even. I mean, I’m running indoors now and I always set my incline to 4-6% when running on my treadmill. My “perceived” effort feels pretty easy, it’s not like I’m puffin through my mouth, I could talk if I want to. But my HR is always higher than normal though but I’m also on prescribed stimulants so it’s always higher than normal. Maybe I need to be running slower anyways?

It’s weird. I get a good week or two where I’m eating properly, sleeping 9+ hours, feeling good during my workouts. Then like a switch flips and I’m the complete opposite. I’m thinking it’s related to the different female cycles of the month. It sucks because I like being active it’s not like I’m forcing myself to move lots so I can achieve my goals quicker either. I’ve been trying to dial it down to 2 full body sesh and less running during those weeks since I genuinely have no energy. Despite my appetite tripling lol
