Banana power 💪🏼

[Debsy2008]

Wow! Week 8 run 2 done and boy did I enjoy that!! - can’t believe I’m actually saying that 😬

A couple of tweaks today seem to have helped.

Firstly I ate half a banana before setting out, where as up to now I’ve been setting out on an empty tummy, I think now I’m running longer I needed some fuel.

Secondly the ‘wonky’ road was fantastic! It slowed me right down as I was being so careful not to turn my ankle or land funny! My legs had to work even harder on the uneven ground and I was concentrating so hard on my step that I didn’t even notice the time passing 😃

Although I have done a smaller distance at a slower pace it meant my breathing was steady and gave me more power I think to comfortably finish the 28 mins.

All in all I have really enjoyed it today! Whoop whoop!!

Great Debsy youve cracked it now, few runs next week only, enjoy that week sounds daft but i really did. I do the banana routine alongside a bulletproof coffee works for me! Enjoy

Looking forward to the next 4 runs 😃

Great running Debsy2008 , it sounds like the banana has worked well for you. (I'm an empty belly runner but I can understand why people need to fuel up before running).

I really do hate eating breakfast but half a banana seemed to do the trick today ☺️

Thanks guys, something finally clicked and it’s working 😃

Never was the quickest at learning something new but really want this to become a long term thing so just keeping at it 💪🏼
