What time do you usually head out? My shot mornings are useless until I've had coffee and let the fog lift a bit.
Low energy today, how are you still moving?
My trick living in Providence is walking the East Bay bike path early, before traffic picks up. It is flat and boring, which is exactly what I want on a low day
phoenix heat is my real excuse most days, so I walk at 5am before it turns into an oven. Flat loop near the house, no hills, and I count it done even when it's slow.
I hit the wall around 2pm yesterday and just did laps around the kitchen while the kettle boiled. Sounds silly but it beat sitting there feeling heavy.
tbh down 12 here and shot days are my slowest too, so I just walk the flat loop by the park instead of the hill route and call it done
I've been doing the leave-without-a-set-route thing too, mostly because deciding ahead of time is what makes me bail. Six pounds in and the lazy loops are the only ones I actually finish.
I stopped planning routes at all, just head out the door and see where my feet take me. Some days that's a block, some days it's a couple miles
walking till the fog lifts is basically my whole routine on shot days too. Do you track it at all or just go by feel?
Pacing during calls is my whole routine on flat days too. Do you count the mailbox walk as steps or just let it be?
