I ran a new route this morning, no ideas of timings or distance needed to run. So with new route I did 4.17km, including warm up & cool down walks, in 32:31 minutes. My old route, which I used for all my c25k runs, the last one was 5.41km in 41:09 mins, including walks. So just need to expand new route a bit. Was nice to run somewhere different.
New route: I ran a new route this morning, no... - Couch to 5K

I am hugely impressed with your times . New routes are good because I found I was fixating on getting to certain trees or fence posts in given times , trouble was I stopped enjoying just being out the in air and running. So much psychology in this running game.
I’m looking forward to exploring new routes in the warmer spring weather . Happy running

That’s great, well done! New routes are so refreshing. I find even adapting part of a route helpful. 😃
New routes are great - I'm still finding new ones on my doorstep after 5+ years. But even just running a route in reverse can make a big difference. I regularly used to find myself stopping in the same places and reversing runs helped put a stop to it. The thing I love now is seeing old 'markers' and sailing (usually slowly) past them with no problem.

Thank you, good idea, I might try reversing my usual route.
