A surprisingly comfortable 7k

[HappyNoodle]

I say run ,I mean jog. I was a bit worried after last weeks lead legs that it would be tough but wanted to get it out of the way before the heat at the end of the week.

I drank extra the day before and relaxed my diet a little and hey presto a really comfortable run. Not fast but not super slow either. Legs felt super relaxed the last 2k I was tired and happy to stop but if I had been out on an 8k I could have done it.

After the last couple of runs it was refreshing for it to all click for me🏃🏻‍♀️ felt like a runner for a little while, even if everyone else overtakes me.

Well done. Hydrating the day before is key, I feel. 👍🏽

Definitely agree, even if you think you are okay drink a bit more I’m not good at the whole two to three litres a day thing. Trying to get better though.

Yay!😀 Well done HappyNoodle - great run! Dropping pace is key when increasing distance and it's nice to enjoy those longer runs.🏃🏽‍♀️ Good luck with your next one...👍🙂

Thank you, it’s funny I felt relaxed but pace was quicker than last weeks runs. Just one of those when it all comes together.

[Sandraj39 Graduate10 in reply to HappyNoodle]

...their the best ones!🤗

A comfortable run! That is such a reward. That’s what I always hope for when I head out. Well done.

😍 I needed it after a week of ’bad’ runs 😉

[HappyNoodle Graduate10 in reply to BaddieThePirate]

😍 sure is, more like that one please!

[RunRabbitRun40]

Glad it was a good run, I love it when it just clicks!

Hope MiniNoodle's getting on ok too

A comfortable 7K - great stuff. Your plan is working.

[HappyNoodle Graduate10 in reply to Eightpaws]

Today didn’t go so well I went out to do my 5k but it was soooo hot I figured I’d do the short run instead but didn’t realise stopped half a k early 😕 so annoying. I may make up the .5 on my next run if I can. It should be cooler Sunday.

[Eightpaws 60minGraduate in reply to HappyNoodle]

A bit irritating but I'd think ok to add to your next run. Good luck for Sunday.
