As you know I still cant run but can walk fairly quickly so my hope when I can run again will be in November. Anyway Saturday went out and managed 14Km and it took me 2hrs 23 mins so going to try a bit further this weekend.
I’ve got an 8km road race next Saturday. I’m having an easy 5km before that. I need to recover from a hilly, hot run yesterday. My hips are aching and that’s a new species of niggle !
I’ve been walking in the Lake District, eating well, and catching up with friends so apart from Saturday’s parkrun in Hyndburn, I’ve done no running. I hope to get one run in before this Saturday’s parkrun at home. We enjoyed walking in the drizzle in Cumbria but back to 30 degrees again down south 😓
Exhausted and sore. Check out my 13.50 km Run on 08/11/18, mysports.tomtom.com/service... sorry for the link. But I ran 8 miles today... My furthest run. Just a shame that at 11km an old knee injury decided to kick in but this gives me so much confidence for the 10 mile run in as October
It was hotter than expected, but tried a couple of different things. First run with the hydration backpack, to help me not stop for drinks. Tried to slow it down for a slow run but no stopping which worked until 8km when walking for a bit. I also had a cereal branded breakfast shake before setting off as often feel nauseous running after eating.
It was a good run, slow but enjoyable, cooler and managed to hit a good distance. The water pack was niggley and not designed for women with the upper strap pressing down on the... Erm upper region which isn't good. So if anyone has a good recommendation for a female hydration pack suitable for larger breast I would be interested
