Fitter than than I thought!

So my last two runs, W6R3 and W7R1 were very slow and on reflection quite easy. So today I decided to push myself a little and see what I could do. I set off at a very slightly quicker pace than normal and just seemed to get faster and faster without realising. I got to my usual halfway point and wondered if my app had broken as Jo Whiley wasn’t appearing! I got further and further away and finally she said I was half way through. I carried on and my third km ended up being faster than I’ve ever run before. I think I’ve been overly cautious and scared of failure to try and push myself, but I’m so glad I did today. Turns out I’m fitter and more capable than I thought!

If you are comfortable going faster, then no problem.

Well done.
