Strava in a jokey mood

[Gwenllian1]

Well here I am still slowly and cheerily making my way through the magic plan, the timed version. I'm in week 8 now, ran last Monday and then decided I couldn't face the heat. Last night I went out in the cool and rain. It was rather lovely feeling the cool on my face. I went for my favourite run by the river and I had 30 minutes to do. I was feeling really up for a run. This might be one where my snail pace gets infinitesimally faster I thought. I reran the last run of c25k just for the pleasure of the company of Sarah millican and when Sarah told me to start running I hit start on my strava. The second half of my run was lovely. I felt strong and happy and I was sure I was running faster than usual. So when I stopped strava and got back to the car I was keen to see if I was right.

Running time 30 minutes

Distance covered 11.16 km WHAT?

Pace 2.37

No, no, no, no no strava. You are pulling my trouser.

So I've no idea if I was really running a bit faster than my usual snails pace! I'm telling myself I was 😄

😁 well that's a pace to be proud of, talk about flying feet! The only trouble with accepting it, is that you may have some trouble getting a new pb 😂

No danger of accepting it! I feel quite pleased with myself if I get an average pace of 8 minutes per km! Snails pace for me!
