One 'what' +one 'what' = one 'what'??? 😲😁

It's actually the happy story of my running week..... 😁

It's actually proof that all your wisdom is correct....

This week I did one 30min run soo slowly, then a 5k run a couple of days later which was even slower, so....

One slow run + one even slower run = one quicker one, at parkrun this morning 😊

I did get my pacing all wrong at the start & suffered for it at 3.5k but recovered to finish strong. Still only 31.47, can't see me breaking 30 for months, if ever, and that's fine by me.

Just wanted to share that slow runs still pay their dividends, with anyone it might help!

Happy weekend everyone running or resting!

Cheers Katnap, next one won't be for 3 weeks now. If I can stick a few more really slow runs in until then who knows what'll happen!

Maybe start to approach the sound barrier? 😸

Great time! The slow runs really do leave something in the tank. 1:47 to knock off, may not take months... but it’s not important. Just keep slowing down to speed up! Good job.

Thanks UNM, I'm not really trying to be quick, not really, just got carried away with the speedies!

Awesome work Uncle Wiggy!πŸ™Œ

Love your advice, I’m all about the slow running... just need to introduce a faster paced one🀣... all in good time tho! Like you I’m in no rush! It’ll happen when it happens πŸ€©πŸ™Œ
