Hi Runners!

I wasn’t feeling too great yesterday, so it’s a good job it wasn’t a run day for me πŸ‘ŒπŸ½. After an early night, I’m feeling a lot better today.

πŸ’‚πŸ½β€β™‚οΈCadence & Acceleration-glider Drills today! I hope I’m not speaking too soon, but I think I’ve mastered the Garmin buttons too now 🀭.....πŸ€“!

As I was running in the park today, I noticed that new trees have been planted, right near to some very large mature ones. I thought πŸ’­...I’m a bit like that little one ☺️. But with Jeff as my coach, who knows, I might just grow into something just a bit closer to the biggie. For now, I’m definitely in the growing season πŸ˜‰. Slow...but sure and I’m out running regularly again! I’m very happy with that πŸ˜ƒ.

It’s been such a lovely warm day here today and I’ve really enjoyed my time outdoors! β˜€οΈ 🌲 🌳 πŸƒπŸ½β€β™€οΈ 😁

Happy running Runners!! ❀️

Glad your feeling better today and you are out running !

Oh, and sorted out the Garmin buttons ! I thought I'd lost my 10k on my watch on Saturday but thankfully it was there 😁

Slow, sure and growing is good πŸ˜πŸ‘ Enjoy !

Thanks so much Instructor57!! πŸ€— Yes, I saw that 🀭!! Glad you were able to see it later and congratulations on the 10k again!! What a brilliant run!! 🀩🀩❀️

Exactly this..bolder, braver, more experienced, learning, doing, achieving. Each run is a victory and small victories count big! It's not where you are but where you're going 🌱⚘

Ah thanks Delly-dot!! πŸ€— Yes, the picture doesn’t do the big one justice 🌳😯 . That trunk is very impressive indeed! I know I’ll be very happy plodding along, but even then I’m sure there’ll be some nice surprises too! 😁❀️

Glider drills...I like the sound of gliding. Sounds easy πŸ˜„. Well done little tree, you're growing well.

Thank you BTP!! πŸ€—πŸ€—

I think the glider drills are a bit of an art, (that I’m still learning). No idea what that one does for you πŸ₯΄, but I do enjoy doing the β€œdrills”.

For gliders, you go from a walk, to a jog, to a fast pace, then reverse the sequence back down to a walk. After that you have a 30 second walk and start it again! Good fun!! 🀩❀️

Wow, your getting to the advanced refinement that is cadence & acceleration-glider drills! Mr Garmin is getting sophisticated!

Fabulous450Graduate10β€’ in reply toCBDB

There’s probably other more common names they call the drills πŸ€·πŸ½β€β™€οΈ!! I have wondered if those stepping stones are the same or similar to β€˜Cadence Drills! πŸ€”

The names may be sophisticated, but I’m not sure that Sarge would use that terminology with me just yet!!πŸ’‚πŸ½β€β™‚οΈπŸ€...πŸ˜‚

I don’t mind that though, I do like the fact that it brings a bit of a new variety to the runs πŸ‘ŒπŸ½ and it’s over before you know it too. βœ…β€οΈ

πŸ˜„but I think β€œcadence & acceleration-glider drills” sounds a bit more advanced than β€œstepping stones”. I still feel like running-kindergarten πŸ‘Ά 🍼 but you are definitely in running-university. πŸŽ“ πŸ“–

πŸ’‚πŸ½β€β™‚οΈ....πŸ€”....he may beg to differ 😊. Honestly, I think what you do and what it’s called just depends on which coach you choose to have for your plan. I just go with it and give it a go!! Keeps me moving!!😁❀️

Maybe the big trees are there to show the little ones how it's done! πŸ˜ƒ
