Mission Possible

Well time for the test drive of my new runners and my knee took rmnsuk's advice and went back to W3R1 it was different this time as before I did not have Laura just my watch set to intervals and a piece of paper so I knew what I was doing. The result was no major dramas on both fronts and my fitness has improved as I was definitely quicker also starting again so to speak gave me a chance to practice my breathing. All in all a good test will see how the next one goes on Monday.

It is strange how you miss it when you can't go out I bet you are champing at the bit to get out hope you don't have to wait much longer

Hurrah! Good to see you back musketeer!

Glad the run went well and the knee held up.

How were the new shoes? Did you feel a difference in the support.

Nice to have our early bird getting back on form - today is a good day ✨🎉✨

New shoes were great definitely noticed a difference in cushioning and general feel still going to stick at beginning again and take it slow but good to be back

Good to have you back again sounds like good progress. Though thanks to your title I am going to have that theme tune worming around in my head all day.

That's why I picked it with a little change because it is only impossible if we let it be

Thanks for the prompt. I've just been to Braintree Freeport and bought not one but 2 pairs of new runners (the better half has great powers of persuasion!) . Hopefully, I'll get round to trying them out tomorrow.

Sounds like a good idea - you can't miss me - I'll be the one in the bright yellow shoes!!!!!!

Let me know when you're up for it - I get the impression from your last post that you're well on the way to recovery

I reckon three to four weeks of repeats and I should be okay and back up to full fitness
