Headed out at a slower pace this morning and got round the 28 minutes, even kept going for an extra 30ish second to match my distance from Tuesday. Feeling much happier about having the 30 minute runs coming up. It’s definitely true that slow and steady wins the race! Think I may have developed frostbite in my fingers though, running gloves aren’t up to tackling frosty mornings!

Great running. I wear thinsulate gloves, they’re warm enough but can’t control my phone with them on. 4 runs to complete this, enjoy them all.

Thanks both, I will take a look for some more effective gloves! I have some wafer thin karrimors but they’re just not cutting it!

I also have karrimor ones, but the light fleece ones :)

Firstly, what a great user name, I really like that.

Secondly, well done on completing W8R2, you are nearly there, so keep up the good work.

As for gloves, I use Ronhill Wind-Block ones, there was a bitter wind-chill this morning and the gloves were toasty warm.
