60 mins

Hiya,

After having not run for a week due to the weather (too hot), the temperature felt cooler this morning (18 degrees - still warm enough to make me sweat). Went out at 10 am, 2 hours after my breakfast, wearing a thin shirt and shorts.

My goal was 90 minutes or 10K or when I tire, whatever came first. Unfortunately 2 minutes in my run I got an annoying feeling of having to go to the (big) toilet. The feeling never left me, only got worse.

Running with squeezed buttocks is not a lot of fun, so I decided to cut my run short at 60 minutes to quickly scamper home to the little room.

I feel a bit disappointed that I did not get to 90 minutes, but 60 minutes is of course nice too. Better luck next time!

Cheers, Evy

It's a good run Evy ! Especially as it's your first for a week , so would be happy with it rather than disappointed .

And better safe than sorry

🤣👍

Sorry would have been a very nasty run 😂

I've also had "the urge to purge" whilst out running, especially if I was over-exerting myself.

Part of this morning's faffage before my run this morning was trying to make sure I wouldn't have that feeling during the run.

You did a full hour after a week's break. Celebrate that. 👍

True, 60 minutes also used to be a lot in the past. I should not dismiss it so easily ☺

I think under the circumstances that was a very successful run! It could have been a lot worse in so many ways 😆. Well done! You’ll nail that 90 minutes next time. All the best! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Must be hard squeezing your buttocks for 60 mins if you need to “GO” to the little girls room whilst running. Must try that tomorrow walking. Well done anyway on another 10 km especially it was still quite warm . 😃

[Hidden in reply to Doris8]

No 10K unfortunately. Just 60 mins at a snaily pace coming to 6,5 km. But it was another 60 mins with extra exercise 😂

[Doris8 Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Sorry read it wrong . But you still done well 😃

[Hidden in reply to Doris8]

Thanks ☺

Running with squeezed buttocks is definitely no fun so you did the right thing in cutting it short BS! And 60 minutes is pretty good going after not running for a week so well done you!
