Pyjamas and not tight jeans 👖

Ok just to be clear, I don’t run in neither pj’s or jeans 😆 but that’s how I would describe today’s run. Much much comfier like a pair of checked fleecy pjs and not w8r2’s run of death / fancy tight jeans! I’m definitely more of a pj girl (ps people that where non elasticated clothing at home are weird! Just saying 😂)

Overall a much steadier run but not without it’s challenges. First 5mins-10mins I had lead pipe legs which was a bit of a struggle. I did eventually find my stride around halfway and this stayed for the rest of run. Mostly just glad I didn’t feel too breathless at the of my run. 😁 4k in 28mins. I’ll take that.

I’m weird then 😂 I guess I knew that already though.

Sounds like a good comfortable run. Who’d have thought you’d have used those two words together ever??

I’m only messing 😉 probably me that’s the weirdo! 😆 I don’t think running will ever be completely comfortable but certainly more than the last run! X

💪🏽 ta!! 😊😊😊x

Absolutely agree with the elasticated waist at home bit!! 😂

Jogging bottoms on as soon as I get in.

Yeah I hate the dreaded lead leg!! I had it pretty much all my last run. They get heavy after a while!! Haha

Keep it up!

Ahh you did the yoga post...I was going to reply to that earlier and got distracted! I’ll reply properly but it’s a YES from me. It’s ace, I love it! More men should give it a go x

Dee_NGraduate in reply toDee_N

You can even get away with wearing your elastics outdoors! 😉

in reply toDee_N

Haha. Not so sure. I was talking about me wearing yoga pants in a previous thread. I think that might upset people!! 🤣😂

On the coldest of days here I wear a light pair of pajamas under my running pants ☺

Dee_NGraduate in reply toIrish-John

I’m going to just call you Irish if I may 🙂....from reading some of your posts, this does surprise me!! 😆 By pyjamas, do you mean thermals!? Pyjamas in my head are quite baggy!

Irish-John profile image
Irish-JohnGraduate in reply toDee_N

Not silk ones :) And you certainly may call me Irish :)

Dee_N profile image
Dee_NGraduate in reply toIrish-John

Well I didn’t like to suggest 🙈🙈🙈Got me wondering what kind of jamas you’re rocking while running now!

Irish-John profile image
Irish-JohnGraduate in reply toDee_N

Too hot for anything but the lightest wear still - layering won't be a factor til prob November ☺

love the analogy! Comfy pj run vs tight jeans and heeled boots run??

I have to agree with you on the elasticated waist at home ... but shock horror, some of my running clothes are so comfy I put them on when lounging around! Currently wearing shorts which only see the outside world when it's really too hot for anything larger, and loafing around doing housework in them :D

Dee_N profile image
Dee_NGraduate in reply toicklegui

Absolutely right!! Anything elastic goes! Fleecy loungers on cold nights, joggers for normal weather, leggings with something smarter but when you have ‘familiar’ guests like family coming over and shorts when it’s roasting! ‘Outdoor clothes’ only happen indoors if I’m trying to impress! You know you’re held in high esteem if you come to my house and I’m in ‘outdoor clothes’ 😆😆😆

Dee_N profile image
Dee_NGraduate in reply toDee_N

And yes, why throw in a pair of heeled boots 👢 for good measure to the analogy!

heeled boots vs fluffy slippers!

This might sound stupid but how do you know how far you’ve run ?

I can’t wait to get to week 8 lol x

Dee_N profile image
Dee_NGraduate in reply toNeverARunner

Hi, I’m using an app called Strava it’s free to download on your smartphone. There are other free apps too which I’m sure other people use and would recommend but that’s the one I’ve got. X

NeverARunner in reply toDee_N

Thank you :) I use my fit bit but because I’ve got it on all day i have to check it and then check it again after the run :) I’ve literally just finished week 3 but I might have to do it again I don’t see how I can do week 4 😬

Thank you xx

Dee_N profile image
Dee_NGraduate in reply toNeverARunner

No problem! Don’t go back, go forward! How do you know you can’t do it when you haven’t done it?? I read your post about hurty calves. Just take an extra day’s rest if you need it. Try week 4 and just take it slow and steady. You might surprise yourself! X

NeverARunner profile image
NeverARunner in reply toDee_N

Hmm I know I’m not very good at this confidence thing :/ I was talking to my partner and he said how well I’ve done and even though I always finish and say it’s hard I’ve still done it :) you’re right I should at least try week 4. Due to do it on Tuesday so maybe I will try then and see :) I don’t wana feel like a failure if I can’t do it though :/ yeah calves hurting is a major thing at mo - they burn so bad! Thank you :) xxx

Dee_N profile image
Dee_NGraduate in reply toNeverARunner

More experienced runners should be able to provide you with advice relating to calves! I’m not experienced enough yet to confidently make suggestions. As for week 4. Give it your best shot, you have nothing to lose. As you have completed week 3 there is no point re-doing. Have a go nobody is watching and we’ll all be here rooting for you xx

PJ bottoms when you get through the door. Put it there 👊 I think I actually read somewhere that it's illegal NOT to change into PJ bots when you get home 🤣🤣 And well done Missy xx
