13 and a bit

Well the gremlins nearly stopped me today, but managed to step over them on the door step.

Set off and could immediately tell my body wasn’t in the mood for a long run today - but it didn’t have any choice! Suspect a little dehydrated, must keep an eye on that.

Anyway, tried a new route - I never knew that little country lane went uphill so much! Phew! All done and the ‘stop now, you can’t do it’ gremlin was put in its place.

The run was ‘Jeffed’ with approx 3’30”/30” intervals.

This was the last run of week 6 on the Garmin coach HM plan, 10.46km RWR with 10 min warm up/cool down sections (which I ran at the same pace).

Magic half mile with a 4 and a bit km run next week, which I think I’ll incorporate into this route again - gremlin dependant!

Nice! Is this one with Jeff? I’m considering following this plan next. 🙂

Yep, it is indeed Mr Galloway’s plan.Took me a while to be convinced on the RWR idea, but getting there with it.

New routes can be great news for our running! And you’re right about those little hills and country roads. They always appear flat when you’re driving but as soon as you run on them…… 🥵

That sounds a fab run for you, well done 👍

You sure beat those gremlins and even though a lot of uphill sounds like a good run

Well done on beating those gremlins - that's a great distance. And hills too, I'm impressed.
