For those who read my post yesterday , i have woken to no pain at all!! Just taken the pooch for a walk and i feel better now than i have in a long long time.

Hopefully my body is adjusting , so w5r2 is happening tomorrow morning , decided im going to try a new route down by the shore , in a hope the sea air and new scenery will power me through the 8min intervals. Im feeling very excited!!!

Im hoping so , will be my first time down by the sea , not sure how the cold air will effect my breathing (something ive not mastered yet!) But only one way to find out! Im lucky that i live just outside the new forest and lots of beaches and shore lines so im going to mix it up when i can.

Just breathe without thinking as you normally do. Just go slow enough and that should happen

I ran on the beach for the first time recently and loved it. Got my feet rather wet 😃🏃‍♀️✔️

My problem is i breath in when im running to stop my jiggly bits from jiggling around to much and end up sounding like a dodgy steam train mid run lol. This is something im working on , yesterdays run was much better on the breathing front.

I dont think ill be going near the water just yet only laced up my new trainers for the first time yesterday , but i might take them off for a post run paddle after 😁

Go go go - but keep old floss close to hand and go go go but slow slow slow

Oldfloss is one of the forum's wise mentors and it's her saying whenever any of us are fretting about speed or distance. She has loads of wisdom. Sorry I assumed you would know the name. Look at her famous rambling posts- she is fab

I am always banging on about slow and steady...but, it takes us to where we want to be safely, injury free and having had a great time en route!

The sea run will be brilliant! Breathe in and out, anyway that suits you...as long as you breathe.. you will be fine:)
