Well I don't normally run in the afternoon but seeing how a day off coincided with decent weather I thought why not !I had actually thought about running this morning but there's something doesn't feel quite right about getting up early on a day off π
I only had a light lunch just after mid day so decided to go out around 2pm .
I'm still not running anywhere near often enough but it is slowly starting to feel better again .
I took my usual 5k route which is easy to cut short or extend if I wanted to.
My last run was just 3k so decided just to make this one 3.5
What is very noticeable is that when I'm running regularly, I find it relatively easy to get a negative split run .
But when I'm out of practice and obviously less fit then the splits are very definitely positive!
I can certainly vouch for the old saying
'Use it or loose it'
Anyway, 3.5k done , home and stretched and kettle on π

Beautiful photo Ian, well done on running that 3.5K and in the afternoon, I am sure you enjoyed it
Tomorrow I will run the first 5k on the route I intend to run my first full half marathon this coming Sunday, last Wednesday I ran 5K but that was a practice run on the last 5K of Sunday's run, the other around 11K is on my normal 5K /10K course, my plan is to link all 3 parts together for the HM.
Yes the weather window was too good to miss , haha happy to keep you moving ππIt's a lane which connects the area where I live to the main road through the village.
I like an afternoon run. That often fits with when Iβve got gaps in the schedule. Those 2/3/4km runs are great to pop in when itβs often a weird time of day for getting anything useful done. Well done for finding a sunshine!
That's fantastic! Well done, it's not easy getting back out there after a long break but every run counts and it's getting you closer to where you want to be π you're making me jealous, I haven't been out in weeks. I just keep thinking about it but then something always stops me... I'm getting very annoyed with myself! π€π€¬π€£
