How slow can you go!!

[Richard7]

Slow down, you move too fast

You got to make the morning last

Just kicking down the cobblestones

Looking for fun and feeling groovy

Ba da-da da-da da-da, feeling groovy

Well maybe not quite cobblestones and maybe not groovy, but a good slow run today.

I set out today to slow it right down. I wanted to make sure I got to 5k without wanting to stop. Events over the weekend also left me wanting to take some time to myself with thinking space and a run lends itself to that very easily.

So if you are struggling to keep running, I know it's been said before but here goes again .. ease off the gas pedal a little, take your time, try to enjoy the run rather than treating it as a punishment.

Happy running everyone.

Well... I was looking at a new route that will include a cobbled road... and I’m off out there in a couple of hours to check it out.

Good job on that run today... hope it served all its purposes.

Thanks UNM .. good luck with your cobbles!! They can be slippery little b@##&*$!

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to Richard7]

Yeah, that’s what I’m worried about... they lead off roads and up over a small hill... I think it’ll be a good run on a cool dry day... which we have here today... but probably awful in the wet. Not running it today, just gonna walk up it and come back down then go for a flat run.

Bon chance mon ami, bon chance!!

Just read your bio and latest post, take it easy on those cobbles you are so close to finishing C25K you don't want any slip ups (literally)

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to Richard7]

You’re right there... but I do naturally belong on the trail... these routes are for later! Gonna be really careful for a week and a half.
