Evening all. Was a little bit worried about today as it was my 1st evening run. Hubby had hosp appt early and it's a 40 min drive away (he doesn't drive)
So I had decided rather than muck my set run days about I'd go early evening.
Legs still not forgiven me for Saturday's heroic/foolish parkrun - delete as applicable 😁
Set off nice and gently - had decided to switch my listening from good old Laura's terrible choice in music and had downloaded Simon Mayo confessions podcast - aimed at taking my mind off the time and not letting the gremlins out.
Checked time at start then quick check at what I thought would be roughly half way (11 mins done) - was feeling ok - laughing along to myself at the podcast. Quick maths meant I would have covered 22 mins by time I was back at start point - so ok I'll add on a lap of the field. When I checked time again I'd done 27 mins - must have been a bit slower on way back but no extra lap needed.😊😊
So happy bunny tonight - I felt quite chilled - it was enough to get my heart rate up - but def sustainable for a few mins longer - so 30 mins no longer seems like an impossible dream!!

I find the more i think and try to control the breathing the worse it gets - def couldnt do this in n out in line with your steps lark 😊if I have to pant like a dog sometimes so be it - mostly now the heat is over it's just kinda normal just a bit quicker 😁
I found that too, if I try to have a pattern for breathing it makes it harder. Just got back from week 5 run 1, the 3rd 5 min run felt longer than the first 2.
I haven't used the app - just the podcasts from the website - which all the runs have preset music - mostly it's been ok - just not really my genre. Not sure ACDC would be good for my running tho 😁
Yes - now I'm not dependent on someone to tell me when to run or walk means I can just listen to whatever and keep an eye on the time - it's actually quite liberating 😁
