Slippery specs 5km

13 Replies

I did a slow but steady 5km in the early morning French heat. I felt I could keep going at the end which means I’m building stamina I think. My biggest problem was that my specs kept sliding off my nose because I was sweating so much. Happy 😃

i was thinking of you during my run Floss. I thought "Floss will be proud of me - slow and steady", in the heat with a couple of hills.

Well done Paula!! I’m getting a bit bored with the 30 min runs at the mo - so trying Laura’s Speed podcast tomorrow. Have you tried it?

in reply toRipcurlrana71

I’m too scared 😟 you go first 😉I think I might try the stepping stones one. I tried the stamina one which I liked even though it was too fast for me.

Ok. I’ll step out first and report back. I have missed Laura so will be nice to hear her conforting voice too. Enjoy France! x

Hate that! Have the same problem. Brilliant run though! 😀

Thanks Lexi. Running in the heat is unusual for me. I was thinking of getting some kind of elastic band to hold them in place. Or a balaclava??

Well done! Sounds lovely 😃 I have the same problem with my sunglasses 😎 and sometimes I have to take them off which means I am no longer hidden and people can see me 🤣🤣

in reply toBridget007

I doubt if they'd recognise you as you pass in a blur of dust Bridget. Enjoy your cycle - is it today?
