Hard work run ... 🐒

Everything about this run seemed like hard work - the weather, the route (field is under water, common too far for the time, bored with pavement runs), and a crop of niggles & incipient sniffles to boot. Generally ugh all round.

BUT - I may have found a new coach. The lovely fellow above appeared recently along a little woodland cut through from one neighbourhood to the next. And as I passed, I distinctly heard him say β€œGo home now and put in the time on strength & flex.” So I did. And it was a great idea. No drizzle & wind. No more calf & foot niggles. Sniffles disappeared. Everything better aligned. All good. I even invoked my inner JaoJao and did a good set of Dead Bugs. πŸ˜„πŸ‘πŸŽ‰

Have good runs, folks, or do your S&F with a will. Whatever works! 😊😊🐒

Love your new coach, and what great advice. Tomorrow is a new month so better to start refreshed rather than with nibbles and sniffles. Happy running

I like those words of your new coach and am going to renew my acquaintance with strength and flex. Thank you for sharing.

Loving your new coach. I don't know why, but it makes me so happy when I come across little things like that when I'm out πŸ˜€

Great idea Granspeed. My glutes are definitely feeling the benefit of the S and F and Physio this month!

Enjoy getting stronger and staying warm!🐊😊xxx
