Fabulous450 Back Out For a Sunny Benchmark Run! 🏃🏽‍♀️✅ ❤️

[Fabulous450]

Hi Runners!

A catch up to keep the mojo flowing! 😉🤓!

I’ve started a new plan on my app and today was a benchmark run! I haven’t done one of those for a loooong time! 😯

It’s a 7 minute gentle warm up, three minutes of flat out running and then 5 minutes cool down. I added a brisk walk to warm up beforehand too - back to the old school way. I’ve got a bit lazy with that! ☺️ (Figured I might need it today! 😆)

I listened to some motivational YouTube, while I kept a strong walking pace. 💭 I think for a moment that my legs look like 2 chicken drumsticks on the move! 😃🙄Luckily, 5 minutes soon passes and it’s running time!

The sun was shining early this morning and I can say that I had a good time today. The road was quiet and I had a good work out run! (Though my headphones did quit on me during the cool down jog! 🥴! I had to laugh! It’s mandatory! And it really doesn’t matter!) I did it! I’m still on the run and it feels like there’s more to come! 🏃🏽‍♀️🙌🏽

Happy running Runners! ❤️

[misswobble Graduate10]

Is that the Nike app? I use it and have a plan on the go. The coached runs are ace

Good luck with it 👍

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to misswobble]

It certainly is misswobble! 🤩 The guided runs are pretty spectacular in keeping you going in my humble opinion! Thank you!! 🤗❤️

Ah thanks CP2! 🤗 There’s always something for me to be thankful for once I get out there.❤️

[Couchpotato2 in reply to Fabulous450]

That’s true, even just getting out!

[Run46 Graduate10]

I've never done a benchmark run, sounds like a good one to remember when I'm short on time! 👍

Glad you rocked it and hope this lovely dry sunny autumn weather continues for a few more runs...Enjoy the next one 😊🏃‍♀️

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Run46]

Thank you Run46!! 🤗I find it’s really good for kick starting the running mojo again. It leaves me in no doubt that I’ve worked hard and done my thing, but wanting to go out again! Which can’t be a bad thing. 💪🏽❤️
