Found a new dark nights friendly route

Tried a new route this morning, all main roads with no dark woodland parts, think this will be better as the nights draw in.

So glad I fought my inner voice that was encouraging me to stay in bed.... feel better for this. 10K training starts next week 😱 have a great day all

That’s great. Another very nice run and the dark problem rectified... enjoy extending to that 10

It’s probably the best run I’ve had so far.... not sure if it was the new route or just psychological but it felt easier too .... can’t wait to start my next plan

That’s cool... 10k time? I do love the smooth runs, even though I treat them the same as the ones that suck, thinking “the next one won’t be like this” but they are coming more frequently.

Definitely 10K time.... I’ll

Probably start week after next as my runs have been out of cycle this week due to gym commitments.... so need to get back into my Mon, weds, Fri routine and can only fit 2 in this week 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

That’s another great run. You are consistently doing very good runs, every time. Well done for getting out . I felt the same this morning but it set me up for the day. 10k sounds like the best next step 👏👏

Consistency was my aim so pleased with today’s run.... not as scenic as golden acre but it’ll do. So glad I went and did it, well done to you for getting out too. Think I’m definitely ready for the next step
