BEST RUN YET!

Wow. That run got me into such a good mood. Loved it.

Despite making a school boy error at the start and forgetting to start my tracker until most of the way through the warm up walk, that run probably couldn’t have gone any better for me.

I didn’t feel any issues with my shins. I didn’t feel like I was broken. I didn’t come crawling home afterwards.

I did have one negative though - I thought I picked up my pace in the second half of the run, and still felt great, even if I was beyond my Niko Niko pace, which I was really happy with, however my tracker says the opposite - apparently I got slightly slower... 😢 lol. Never mind. It still felt great.

I’ve still not quite got the hang of the mid foot landing but I think I’m nearly there. Not particularly noticing my heels at all nowadays which is good.

Thanks for the support everyone.

And I apologise for the photo but I was feeling incredible so I thought a selfie was in order!

Happy Trails!

Well done 👍. I love the post run high. It’s even better again when you get a mid run high. Best wishes for all your future runs.

Great job! Glad to hear you had your best run... and in some tricky intervals that catch many out. I don’t know how much you’re looking at pace, sometimes the overall pace is slower but when we delve into the run a little it is more consistent, which is a good thing... sounds like you were more into your rhythm on this one.

Enjoy run 2.
