Left turns.....

I just did my first post graduate run and thought I would continue with week 9 but go a different route, and that was fine.

I was tired, but completed it. However during this run I realised that I have the turning circle of an articulated lorry!!!!

Am I alone in this?

Is there a knack?

Does it matter....?πŸ€”πŸ˜„

I have this incredible image of you turning...:) I shall have to focus on my turning now... I usually do a circuitous route so don't really turn ... I love this post :)

Go you :)

Circumstances yesterday were such that I had to keep doubling back on myself..........those turns really really slow your time!

I prefer a circular route, or at worst an out and back.....so just one full turn.

It doesn’t matter, no. As long as you get out there and do your runs you’ll be fine. Just carefully, diligently plugging away, hopefully on some fresh routes, and your running will keep improving

Enjoy yourself, this stuff is fun πŸ’ͺπŸ‘πŸ˜ƒπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

My route also has lots of turns - I also tend to take a wide turn as otherwise I have to slow down too much!
