I really want to get faster as a runner (obviously I need those speed workouts) but sometimes the speed just kicks my trash and I feel myself letting go easier.<br /> <br />I don't have a garmin, I usually run without music, and I do carry my phone for "just in case" reasons but mostly I don't have that kind of gear. Maybe that's why speed workouts kill me haha, I don't have much of a gage on how fast I'm going. Jenny Albertsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04101374168168389306noreply@blogger.com
