Run for 1hr 3mins & 38secons

MapMyFitness really does have oddly timed runs 🤣

Gorgeous morning down by the river, very soggy from the knees down though, due to the grass being so tall. Virtually no-one around when we set out and only a handful by the time we were finishing, which made for a very pleasant run. I was listening to an audio book, like I do when on a long run, but I did manage to concentrate on my breathing as well. Knee is twinging a bit now, but I didn't really feel it while I was running, which is good. I am assuming it's good anyway 🙂

That really looks lovely running ground!

Be sure to monitor that knee.

That's a good idea about an audio book, I may give it a try!

It is lovely, the long grass can be very tricksy and try to trip people up though, so you have to be careful.

I find a lot of music is just... very annoying tbh.

Wow. That is a big sky. What a gorgeous place to run. I struggle to remember to breath sometimes too

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10 in reply to Bluerockdragon]

For once the picture actually came out as blue as it looked to me Remembering to breath properly when I'm doing an interval run definitely goes out the window! 😀

That looks gorgeous! Lots of stretching for that knee and if you have one, use a foam roller on your quads, hamstrings, calves and glutes.

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10 in reply to Irishprincess]

I am getting a foam roller for my birthday, so not long to wait now! Really looking forward to using it, even though I know it is going to hurt.

[Irishprincess Graduate10 in reply to Maddee_6333]

Yes it is a very complicated relationship 🙂😩

Pure...... tortuous pleasure!

Gotta love those computer generated durations

Looks like a gorgeous place to run. But do be careful with that knee.

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10 in reply to Tomas]

They are so funny!

I am doing my best with the knee, but it's hard not to run when I'm otherwise feeling fit and healthy and raring to go, you know?

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate10]

Beautiful photograph and lovely run too! Watch that knee.. they are tricksy too...just like the long grass!

Go you!!!

[Tomas Graduate10 in reply to Oldfloss]

and the nasty hobbitses my precioussss, they are tricky too.

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate10 in reply to Tomas]

Oh yes!!!

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10 in reply to Oldfloss]

The knee has been pretty good today. Even though I spent over an hour crawling round my bedroom floor this afternoon scrubbing paint splashes off the flooring (not carpet, I hasten to add).

Just debating whether to do my scheduled run tomorrow or rest up until Saturday ready for Parkrun with the grandsprockets.

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate10 in reply to Maddee_6333]

Great...maybe just a short run?

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10 in reply to Oldfloss]

Scheduled run 12 minutes running "as fast as you can" sandwiched between two 10 minute slow sections. So it's not so much long as hard on the knees. I might just walk the dog and do some Really Brisk walk sections.

Sounds like a good plan x
