Just a little trot today to push the pace a bit, aware of the danger of “dead miles”

Happy in the sun 🌞

Happy safe running everyone 👍🏻💕🏃🏻‍♀️💕

Look how flat that is! Well jealous. What are dead miles?

It’s about running faster to run faster, if that’s what someone wants to do . Shorter faster builds being better than repetitive long runs.

Lovely sunny photos. Yikes, never heard of dead miles - I count all of mine whatever the speed 🤣🤣. Maybe after my current challenge I need to work on speed. Happy running 🤗

Me too! Every mile’s a smile for me. I wasn’t sure about the term at first. But I get it now, it’s about shorter focussed runs, running faster to improve overall pace, if that’s your aim of course. I love my runs but also want to do some focussed work in the hope of a half marathon next year. I just want to finish before everyone needs to go to bed!! 😂😂😂

Well I haven’t done it yet!! We’ll see. I’ve only been running a year so anything over about 7 k is my own personal marathon at mo.

Looks lovely 😍 and “comfortably uncomfortable” is a great description of this running thing!
