I am Team GB run✔️

Wasn't feeling the love this morning, I'll be honest! Have been working hard on my longer runs as part of my training for the Great South Run but the heat over the last few days has zapped my energy a bit. Anyway, popped on my noo shoo's (!) and went for a test run on my favourite route, so a respectable 5K done to add to the C25K Team GB total! As usual, pleased I got out and the prospect of a cooler week next week has already got me plotting my next run.😀

Well done! I saw your shoe post briefly - we have the same shoe, Asics Kayano :) I just have the 22s! *snap*!

The noo shoos have done the trick! I did my fastest ever 5k the first time I wore my new shoes but haven't been able to beat it since. I think I had wings on my shoes that day. Good luck with your training!

No 5k PB for me today I'm afraid - (they usually happen when I run with lots of other people!) but comfy all the same and more miles on the clock!

That's exactly how I felt yesterday too! Have had 5 days with no running and it felt like a slog and still warm too! But we did it! I'm sure on my strava report I wrote "not 100% feeling the love today!" Mine was 5k too !
