Added benefits of running

[EB43]

So this week I started a new job which for the first time in 10 years means a non walkable commute. Not a problem itself other than getting runs in is not working out as I have to be out the house just gone 6 and am not getting back until 6.30 and have to ferry kids to clubs etc.🙁 However I am getting to run every day across Reading train station to make my connecting trains as inevitably the incoming train runs late. Whilst it's not a lovely peaceful 5k first thing in the morning I can get up the main concourse stairs, down the other side and to my London platform in less than 2 minutes 🤗 so I'll treat my twice daily dash as intervals training and hopefully once I get into a more established routine I can some more me running time in.

Good luck with the new job eb43. When I worked in London lots of people ran during lunch time in the parks. Is that a possibility for you.?

I think once I'm a bit more settled and worked out the real train timetable (which ones are always delayed, you never get onto etc) then I'm hoping I can do some lunch time running especially as there are apparently showers on site. Once I get a locker I'll hopefully be a me to give it a go or run into the train station in the morning and change once at work.

Excellent idea.

Thanks. It's been fun so far so I'm hopeful.

Hi EB43, Atb.

Google Get Fit in 6mins.Medical research.

If you fancy build the 12x 30 second sprints per week into your working day routine.

You will not believe how energising this will be.Sprinting just addresses everything that is running.Medical and proven fact.

At least enjoy the 20-25 video on medical research.

Ohh thanks I'll have a look at that, sounds interesting.

I remember Reading station. Nightmare at times. Sitting in my train stationary outside the station, watching my connection pull out...

Hope it all works out. Great idea to do the intervals.👍
