Feeling a bit flat 😕

So, I decided to link Zwift (virtual running app for the treadmill) to Strava so I could connect with people. Set everything up, synced apps, had a wee run, not my worst pace, but I am the slowest runner in the world. Anyway, now I’ve connected with all my IRL friends and they’re SO FAST. And some of them run every day. Sometimes really far. And apparently they can talk at the same time. I can’t even imagine holding a conversation and running at the same time. I definitely need a plan for January.

Never compare times, paces, long runs, finishing positions or any of that crap with friends... just call them up and go run with them for fun from time to time.

How do you know they’re all telling the truth ? Sounds like the Facebook School of Running to me ! 😄 Hey, Yogi, this is your journey and you’re doing great. You don’t need to be like anyone else: just look back at who you were when you started and tell me you’re not making progress. Besides, you can’t be the slowest runner in the world because that’s me 😁
