I'd been thinking about upping my pace for the short run today but rain yesterday had made my regular run through the woods even boggier so I had no choice but to slow down and pick my way through the worst bits. Maybe I need to learn to love running on pavements instead! There were also quite a few dog walkers this morning and I really didn't want to fall over in front of an audience 😂 Planning to do run 3 at Parkrun on Saturday. Happy running everyone. 👟

Great effort through mud I've run on grass instead of pavements for last couple of runs to go gently on a knee niggle, pace goes right down. So I would think if you tried a run on pavement your speed may go up without any extra effort, but it is harder on joints. I've done all bar these last 2 on pavement starting 8th August and first niggle was last week. Good luck
I love a run through the woods. Still feel too visible on pavement, even though no one is interested 🙃 - Weather just makes it impossible. We’ve had floods so every run is a slow , sludge covered mess ! By the way are the park runs the next step after c25k? Not sure what happens next ( long way off only just done w6r2 )

I wouldn’t worry about out and out pace... any mud would be giving the calves a harder workout already, building the strength more, and from strength comes speed.
Great job.

Mud running, that’s got to be tough. Good job and enjoy your Park Run on Saturday 😀

Yeah, I'm finding the dark, rain and slippy leaves are slowing me right down. Hard to get in a speedy run in these circumstances but hey, we're still running and loving it right! 😀
Enjoy your Parkrun 👍🏃♀️
