Breaking up is hard to do,πŸ’”( well not that hard actually...)

First consolidation run, not managed to get out since Tuesday. Agonised over whether I should step out with Michael Johnson once last time, felt a bit like betrayal leaving him behind...πŸ˜‚. In the end I decided against it and that moving on and not looking back was the right thing to do. I know! I’m such a heartbreaker! πŸ’”. Said a fond, foolish and thankful farewell to Michael and that was it, break up complete. It was strangely liberating to run without him, definitely the right time.

It was a good run. Hit 4K in 30 minutes but there’s no way I could have carried on going past the 30 minutes, melting even at 6:45am . Definitely just going to focus on consolidating for a couple of weeks. Slow and steady πŸŒπŸ’πŸƒπŸ»β€β™€οΈ

How are you all timing yourselves ? Normal watch, Strava, I phone ? X

I’ve been using Strava since week 7. I’m really trying not to focus too much on speed but I’ll be honest, I can’t help myself. As soon as I get in I do scrutinise the results and compare runs as I generally run the same route. You’d think I was a professional athlete!! 🀣

Oh you should definitely give him ago, I used to talk back to him. We were having a full blown relationship, albeit very one sided! 🀣

Great, well done for carrying on without Michael! I’ve found him a great help, but all good things come to an end!

Good look with the consolidation πŸ˜€πŸ‘

Excellent! Well done. You didn't need a coach at all.

It is liberating when you just go for it πŸ‘πŸ˜

Love hearing someone runs with Michael! Everything is always going on about Laura - I know that is because michael is only in the app but I was getting worried! Not as worried as I have been about answering him back ...🀣
