Great afternoon run and lots of PBs!

Back to my ‘usual’ route in my hilly neck of the wood and running three times last week in a different part of the world must’ve really helped (especially with my ‘speed’ session 😬) as I really felt like I could pick up the pace today and hit lots of PBs!

Considering this is an uphill-till-halfway-then-downhill route I can’t believe it. My pace finally seems to be increasing and I’m so chuffed. I especially enjoyed legging it down the main hill 😄 I actually ran 4.45km in 30 mins with average pace of 6.47 - very fast for me!

Very nice pace... maybe you need more speed sessions 😂. Great job

[southlundon Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Thanks Unfit - and if I do decide on more speed sessions they will still be on my own!

[southlundon Graduate in reply to Fabulous450]

Cheers Fab! It’s the first time I’ve noticed some progress! (Not that going from never running to running for 30mins isn’t progress but ykwim 😁)

[Fabulous450 Graduate in reply to southlundon]

That sure is fast!! 🌪 😍 Every run counts, even those odd ones that we don’t like so much! Brilliant run!! 😁❤️

[southlundon Graduate in reply to Fabulous450]

And I actually felt like I was properly running opposed to jogging too for the first time 😄

Fantastic and well done! You’re running like a Gazelle! 👏🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️👏

[southlundon Graduate in reply to Little-runner]

I don’t think you’d say that if you saw me 😂

Serious progress. That looks like a hard first 2.5 Km up 48 meters. And then the fun on the ride down the hill again. Well done.

❤👏👣

Thanks Old! It's actually a 70m gain so with a bit of a plateau after the first 1km so I'm not sure why it shows like that on Strava

[theoldfellow in reply to southlundon]

Double serious then!
