Happy Monday 🌼 I can’t stop smiling as I managed to do 5k again after a long time away from this πŸ₯³ I’ve decided that I now won’t be watching my pace and will go as slow as I can to increase my distance. I’m not racing anyone so why am I worrying about it. I just can’t stop smiling and I feel really good for doing this πŸ˜ƒ 53 minutes so my next goal is 60 as I want that 60 minute graduate badge

Loads of smiles for you! Absolutely terrific! Well done. You must feel so good. Absolutely agree that running slowly or more comfortably is the best way to increase distance, enjoy it and feel fresher. Brilliant stuff. That hour mark will be achieved πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

I expect we'll be seeing lots more dawn photos here. You caught some interestingly coloured clouds there.

And you're right. You're only competing against yourself.

Yes hopefully but this has given me a boost today as I wasn’t sure I could do it and now I feel very motivated πŸ‘

That's absolutely brilliant!! πŸ€Έβ€β™€οΈπŸ₯³πŸ‘πŸ‘ I've adopted the same strategy - work on stamina rather than speed - and I find it much more rewarding. I managed 60 minutes on the magic plan a few weeks ago. Since then I've been extending my long run by 1k and I'm hoping to do 10k this week 🀞🀞 if I can do it, you can too πŸ‘πŸ’ͺπŸ˜ƒ

Thank you and you have been doing really well πŸ‘ I am taking this mornings run as my first on Juju’s and feel far more motivated now to work towards this going sooo much slower has made me think I now have a chance of getting there at some point
