Steady on...

Still doing the nhs 5k+stamina podcasts and quite liking it. Kept the required beat for Laura but eased my effort a bit with each step and it seemed to help my shins which were quite sore last run, but better this time around. Also got my phone into a belt strap so I wasn't carrying it any longer which was nice. Matching the podcast pace worked out to a 5k of 29.50 if I worked it out correctly 😀 and it felt good today too. Cool but not cold this morn, which was perfect to run in!

Good for you! I love these podcasts 😃 Listen to Laura's beat, which she thoughtfully provides you with. Keep going to it as she does keep reminding you from time to time. It helps 😃

Yes I did the speed cast the day before when I woke up late. I think it's only around 20min all in.

OOh Stamina! Sends me off somewhere that one does! Very hypnotic!

I really like it too. I might do the stepping stones tomorrow. Heard mixed reviews of that one. 😀
