Picked the wrong day I think...

In an attempt to mix things up a bit I've been slowing my pace, doing one longer run each week and also a slower 5 km with a "go for it" last 1 km.

I discovered some coached runs on my app and did one the other day, it was quite pleasant so I thought I'd try a different one.

OK I won't lie, being told to speed up to get to 10.1 km an hour in these winds wasn't easy, it occurred when I was head onto the wind and I did not manage it for long 🥵.

A nice slow jogette next time I think.

Have a great day everyone 😀

Thanks cheeky, double points accepted😊I thought when I got in that a year ago I wouldn't have gone out at all, so I must be doing something right.

How are you getting on?

It’s amazing how much more resilient we get isn’t it? 😀 Bet you’re pleased you went out. 🥰

I’m fine thanks, but wish the dry weather had stuck around because I’m doing the Virtual Bath Half on the trails of my local common this Sunday! Something tells me it’ll be back to being muddy so I’ll be confined to one smallish area, going round and round! 🤦‍♀️ 😅

Well done Jell6 ! This is why coached runs give me the fear ; they're bound to tell me to speed up at precisely the wrong moment.
