I ran today... it was a rotten route... it had roadworks... a ravine of a hill that I nearly rolled down, a really, relentless slog of a hill to climb back up... and rain... lots of it!!!
But... it was relaxed... I took my time... I listened to my body... I heard what it said...I ran the run at my, oh so, well known pace and I had a really slow few Ks, where I just took it as it came
This run was for you paul1960 ... and just look how I slowed down in Lap 4 I had to!
And Paul. when I was wet through and hungry... I went home too

Wow 13k! That is a long way!! Well done ππ» π I tried to run faster the other day in anticipation of doing my first park run this Saturday I just wanted to be faster! I hated it, I wasnβt that much faster for what felt like an enormous amount of effort and my calf hurt! So today I plodded slower than normal and loved every minute of it π
Nice running! The stats and your words really show your fitness level... you had to slow down in split 4... look what you did after you recovered! Very inspirational.
Well done, Oldfloss! Hills, roadworks and rain too - but you carried on doing what you love!, regardless! Enjoy your rest day/ days - very well earned!π
Rest day tomorrow is cycling the route of my HM...with Mr OF... we are taking a picnic... and I suspect that the cycling will be easier than the running... but.. I know the route, have walked and cycled it many times... so it will be fun
Wow OF, 13k and the talk of HM. Youβll be leaving little old me for dust, snailing away doing 10k or less! Really well done! πββοΈπππͺπβ€οΈ
Thank you... I am just trying to get back on track after the bad weather.. though today was so wet and chilly! Yesterday I was outside with a sun hat on!
I need to get on with some longer runs for my HM... but you know me, I won't be rushed
For me it is the only way... blimey it was wet... and my legs are aching a tad now... cycling tomorrow though.. I am going to cycle the HM route and we are taking a picnic too! Thanks you... hope all is well
Thanks you..it was a tad trying in parts, but mainly I posted the run, to show that we do slow down in runs.. and it's fine.... some folk still worrying about not moving quickly all the time
Thank you so much for posting this, Floss! When I (eventually) start to increase my distance, I'll have a mental picture to hold on to, to remind me it's ok to run at a manageable speed for me! π
So true...I would not have posted my info , but some folk do worry about whether they should be running at the same pace through all runs and are a tad afraid of slowing it down..not me... I am always ready for a breather Thank you... x
