New shoes first outing πŸ˜€

I am pleased to report that my new shoes are very comfy πŸ‘. Short run in the woods. Found the inclines hard work though and I was puffing rather a lot - phew! I have been mostly running on flat trails so I can gradually increase the distance without feeling too tired, and pace has improved too. But hills really are important and the flat routes feel so much easier after a few hills πŸ˜‰

Note to self - short run each week must include some hill work.

Great job christening the new shoes. You hit the nail on the head there at the end I think... if it’s hilly go short, maybe make one flat one a little longer and you’ll be running hilly 5K runs in no time.

Looks like a nice place for your inaugural run in the new shoes! Great idea to work some hills into the short runs πŸ’ͺπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

It is true that when we do them, they do become easier... I actually choose to run up a hill now to start my runs! You have some lovely running places..:)
