After work speed run

And it had to be the river, it’s mighty hot and been a busy day. It was either a 15 minute recovery run or the 30 minute speed run, I just wanted to run today and knew 15 mins wouldn’t do it.

It’s been busy and I really need a gentle potter but I’m following a plan and want to get week 2 ticked off!

We decided the river would be the best place to be,

It’s lovely, I really enjoyed the run, the last 90 secs of mike pace though was a stretch but i did it

The tide was coming in so deeper at the end, birds swoop across the water, I envy them getting to the water, I remember my dogs going up to their arm pits in the mud before getting a swim

One more short run and I can start week 3

Have fun all

Just over 3k but took 4 minutes longer than yours, I always run better in the morning, I’m going to have to run the 15 minute one tomorrow after work so i can run the next long run on day off thursday 😀then I’ll do the easy runs over the weekend, it’s hard fitting them in

It must be difficult to plan the long runs around work, I find them hard enough to plan and I don’t work! I’m hoping to run again on Thursday and then do my long run either Saturday or Sunday. I like options! But I’m not doing a plan - this is the Julia Plan 😄

I’m enjoying the NRC plan and if i’m too busy to run for a few days it doesn’t matter but I’m trying for a bit more consistency 😀

Thank you 😊 you were out there with me, I’m not far ahead really, one more run on week 2 and I saved the little one up so might get that done today depending what time I get home, I’m off to Brighton with my boss, The first week took 9 days and this second week is taking 11 but I’m not in a hurry

Have fun on the plan xx
