6 Days Off 😱

Been away camping for a few days and not run - I did take my running stuff but camping πŸ• and running πŸƒπŸ»β€β™€οΈ don’t really go hand in hand I’ve decided πŸ˜‚πŸ₯΅. So after a 6 day break I set my alarm early and set out at 6am on my usual local route. I was very nervous as since the end of March the max days i’ve had a break is 2 days, so I thought with a 6 day break I would really feel it... you know what...it was alright πŸ‘. I took it slow and plodded along, it was more of a mental challenge than physical and even that wasn’t too bad. I did my regular 7k in 48 minutes, not too shabby. Good to be back πŸ˜€ Hope everyone has had a good week πŸƒπŸ»β€β™€οΈ πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ

I think the odd period of a few days off is no bad thing really!

Sounds good, we keep meaning to drag the tent out somewhere. Glad your run went well sometimes a little break helps.

Do it. We went to the Isle of White, it was like going abroad πŸ˜‚ I think the break was good for me, I know now not to worry if I have a few days off, did another 7km this morning, pretty hot πŸ₯΅ out there today!
