Nemesis = wind (weather) NOT me 😂

8 Replies

Started off with the usual 5 min warm up. Not a sign of the wind! I think it must of been hiding around the corner.

It eventually hides me 2/3 of the way round. I may have been walking backwards.

Running head on down a straight track with open fields all around.

Well that’s me done then!!......

Not quite, I trying not to think I’m a quitter so I get to the end of the track and that’s me zapped.

I realise how much it takes out of you now. My legs are like to frozen, tight blocks (shorts on too!!)

So let me raise a glass or 2 to all our running in that evil thing today. 🍻🍺

That’s all

Been out briefly in the car this morning and it’s not nice out there. I think I’ve got my route nailed for the day, home to chippy in 3.5 miles, and then a short walk home with a few chips I think.

Great job out there... hopefully the wind will be gone in time for your next run.

😂 sounds like a plan! The blue sky can be quite deceiving, I guess you don’t realise what it’s going to be like when you’re tucked up in bed. I should have checked the weather first 🤦🏻‍♂️.

Oh well.

I love being out when it’s cold... once warmed up of course! My hands suffer a little, so I run in gloves, shorts and t-shirt.

Yeah that’s it. Once warmed up everything is a lot better. I could maybe do to invest in some gloves.

Nice to know we both suffer from a bit of wind 💨 😂 Well done on finishing the run (and in shorts too...I am impressed)🏅

😂 yeah! It was a tough one. At least I got out there I guess. I’m sure I won’t be on my own.

W8 done ✅😊. Nemesis run next 🍀🤞🏼

Well that’s week 8 complete, with today’s run almost a carbon copy of run 2 and both of them better

Guess the wind suits me!

Out there this morning in that same wind tunnel again, doing the same 3.2K route for my Asics plan..

Week 4 is my Nemesis 😳

gait or need for greater warm-up - it's certainly not the app. Tried Week 4 run 1 again today...
