Agree runs better with my two boys, even if they leave me for dead most of the time running wise, one of my pups passed me the other day and he was walking 😱

Yes Floki doesn’t seem to run, she just walks fast and I’m jogging 😂

It’s really odd how some runs are a dream and others a struggle! So good that you’re enjoying so much. Well done!

Well done.

Some runs are tougher than others simply because of everything else going on in our lives. Our restedness, nutrition and hydration are the major personal factors, but add into that the weather, the time of day, the time of the month, the time of year, or the time of life..........not to mention the state of Brexit negotiations ............. everything can impact on your running and identifying those variables can help you avoid the negative influences in the future.

Great job.

If there’s no obvious reason for the ups and downs then that’s just life. Sometimes I wake up feeling great, sometimes I’m tired... sometimes I’m happy, other times grumpy... running isn’t independent of life, so it sometimes has the same ups and downs.

Enjoy run 2 of the best week.
