PG run 3

[Elles78]

5K 2 completed. Felt A little slower today .... also a little hotter out . Is Strava man lying to me? My first .5k he told me was well over 4 mins but looking at my splits the first 1K was less than 7 mins?! Ahh well still got sub 7’s all the way so happy with that again. And just looked back at the first 5K and today was slightly faster 6.51 split compared with 6.55. Small margins but that makes me smile 😊

Warning ⚠️ gross question with prob too much info to follow ....

About halfway through or just over I feel the need to clear my airways. Feel like think gunk sitting near my throat. Makes me cough which makes me want to gag. Sometimes manage to clear it other times not but it disappears. I’m thinking the activity is just clearing my lungs out. Am I on my own with this..... could still be hay fever related I guess! 🤔

Well done On Your times that is great. I’m not sure on clearing your lungs, but as my mum used to say better out than in.

I can remember about weeks 3 & 4 of C25K that my lungs were having a ‘clear out’ either mid run or on stopping. I’m not even a smoker so guessing less active lifestyle pre-running does not encourage deeper breathing hence residual ‘secretions build up’. Either way, it was horrible getting rid of it and I’ve had no problems since!

Glad I’m not on my own. Think it may still be hay fever related. As much as I’m loving this fab weather ..... roll

On autumn 🙈
