Sneaky run

Not done this before, but I'm stopping work and going out for a sneaky lunchtime run. Don't tell anyone... Looks like T-shirt weather out there too, so I'm going for it :) Happy running everyone :)

Isn't it wonderful?! Going running just because you CAN! Enjoy!

Great minds clearly think alike. I too am all kitted out and ready to nip out for a cheeky lunchtime run! My new 'yurbuds' arrived so want to give them a test. My other headphones fall out of my ears. Although if I'm honest, its just an excuse to get out there while the weather is nice! Have fun!

Ha! Me too! I can run to the end of the road running parallel to our runway (I'm at Gatwick) and back in about 35 mins. Too lovely a day not to. :)

That sounds really cool running by the runway - what do you do there?

I'm a Trainer - I mainly train all the Security staff but do other stuff as well.

You could be their personal trainer soon, at this rate!

I'm back having completed a C25K+ Speed podcast. quite enjoyed mixing up the fast and slow but think the slow was a tiny bit slower than my normal pace. Nonetheless, I got out there, ran and really enjoyed myself!

in reply to landers

That's what I did too, first time. The slow was too slow for me, too. I had trouble working out how to get my legs to land at that speed lol, but the fastest was faster than I normally go, and I'm a bit pooped now. Think I'll aim to do C25K+ once a week, though. Quite liked it.

Guys! I'm jealous! I only have 30 minute break and no access to a shower :-(

Enjoy those summery runs! :-)

in reply to Potty

Bad luck, Potty. It was a bit hot for me, to be honest! Didn't need a vest AND a t-shirt (what was I thinking?)

Ha, we've all caught that old bug they kept telling us about!

I'm not jealous, my legs are still tired from yesterday evenings 10km in the rain :)

in reply to Zev1963

Excellent!

Unfortunately after a superb spring morning in Glasgow, a storm came racing in just in time for my run. Felt as if I was actually being blown backwards at times.

Stats will be interesting when I have a chance to review :D

Typical! Well done for soldiering on

Can we call you sneaky G from now on ? :) J

GLudwig have you taken a break? I'm curious to see how you get on with the first few weeks after graduating. I'm getting nervous as I'm nearing the end now too. Hope it's going okay :)

Hi Ruth, I'm still here! No breaks for me :) Been doing three runs a week, mainly 5 k with one longer one, and did my second parkrun at the weekend. Glad you're still getting on well. Not long now. I'll be following your progress!

Not what you're looking for?
