! Skies opened as soon as the warm up walk ended and I really enjoyed it. My watch didn’t synch with my phone and strava didn’t record either. I don’t know if there was a GPS problem and my phone wasn’t recording properly but it was showing 33.58 minutes at the 5k mark? I did 45 mins overall

What an eventful run and you 45 minutes running is ace and getting through with that 5k time must have made you pleased! Well done on a cracking run in the rain!

In doubting the accuracy. However it felt different today. I felt like a runner. I nearly bust a gut putting on the new compression tights but well worth it, my legs felt wonderful throughout with no aches and pains and the whole run was fab. I’m thinking maybe those struggling runs in the heat have paid off?

I really believe so. Consistency is everything really. Getting miles and all the experiences of each run. The magic is runs like this. I love that you said you felt like a runner because that's what you are even if it seems strange to accept. But own that feeling. You have deserved it. I sometimes wear running leggings things when it's cold. Is this what you mean?

You deserve runs like these. You've earnt them 😁

Thanks x yeah running legging but compression. They look like they would fit a toddler and you spend 10 minutes wrestling them on. I actually bought I size bigger than my usual size and still really struggled. But you feel like you are running naked. I had to check they were still there 😂

The ones I got were More Mile and they were reduced to £10 but can’t see them on the website now. There’s a decent discount on Skins which I’ve heard are really good .
