Great afternoon run

[Cornet-Carolyn]

Set off without music or cues. Did have to walk for a couple of short spells but had a lovely run down my daylight lane and out to the fields. Bracing but at least dry.

Nice pace - how pink were you? I’m staying white with cold at present, not troubling the red end of the colour chart at all...

😂 still a nice shade of rosy apple

Sounds excellent Carolyn and if as you say you walked briefly you still set a cracking pace

[Cornet-Carolyn Graduate in reply to rolysmate]

😊 thank you

Blimey.. cracking, crisp run

[Cornet-Carolyn Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Just loving it 👍

[Geo-Lesley]

It looks like a great run, Carolyn. I shall aspire to those speeds when I have finally graduated. Until then I shall not trouble my elderly tortoise

[Cornet-Carolyn Graduate in reply to Geo-Lesley]

I'm not too worried about speed but just track out of curiosity 😉

Its good to track runs. It gives us something to be able to analyse to make us better runners. When I wanted to improve my times I realised through looking back through my stats that if I took the first mile 1min slower I could get a better overall time, as I had a bad habit of flying off too quick and paying for it. The problem was it didn't feel quick, so the stats really helped.

I see that your pacing is quite consistent, in spite of the walking breaks -I'm guessing a hill/ incline during Km3?

[Cornet-Carolyn Graduate in reply to Whatsapp]

Yes there was an incline over a bridge at 3k as I went a bit further than before and back over the bridge. I do tend to be fairly consistent but had gone out a little quicker than normal. Do you keep a record of your runs?

[Whatsapp Graduate in reply to Cornet-Carolyn]

Yes, I record them on strava. Gives a good quick comparison if you use the same route a few times. The only issue I have is that this does encourage you to try to beat your time and get faster and faster every run - but maybe that was just me!
