Went out tonight with no expectations as I’d had a fall in the week. I was just going to try to run. Set off proper slowly and ended up running 8k and my first ever 1 hour. Pleased with that πŸ˜€πŸƒβ€β™€οΈx

Congratulations on running 8k in just over a hour, not long before you can run 8k in just under the hour, well done πŸ˜€ πŸƒπŸΎ.

Thank you, I’ve been consolidating for a couple of months running 3x5k per week with the odd longer one building up. Usually a bit quicker, but slows gonna be the way to run 10k πŸ˜€

Fab run! I love Shrewsbury I bet it's lovely running alongside the river

Thank you, I was really unsure I’d be able to do much at all! Yes it was a lovely evening, and not too busy either as it’s been a blustery and windy day.

Hope you're okay after your fall .

Congratulations on your 8k and just over an hour of running. You should be so pleased and proud of yourself. πŸ₯³πŸ₯³

Thank you, I fell and scrapped my ribs at the top of steps. I really wasn’t sure whether tonight would be a walk in my running kit when I set off, so was happy to fall into a slow run and then keep going. 10k on the horizon πŸ˜€

Thank you, I’m lucky to have super running territory close by in town and in the countryside. The light and views were lovely last night after all the weather of last couple of days.

Fantastic to have a great variety of runs. I've just done 8k round fields instead of my normal roads. Crops really taking off now πŸ€—
