While looking for accessories...

Hi everyone

While browsing for a bag/pouch for my keys, phones etc I happened upon some really funny 😂 running mugs. I’m sure you probably would have seen them before but gave me a laugh so I thought I’d share one with you. Aptly describes my running style at the moment but not the one I’m getting to use at the office!

Btw - still haven’t found bag/pouch, if anyone has anything they found useful to wear I’d love your suggestions.

Happy running 🏃🏼‍♀️

I love this. It sums up my running too.

But like I’ve said before, we are running faster than if we’d stayed on the sofa!

Keep running.

Hey Emlist29, how are you doing? Sending you good running wishes 👏👍 All ok here, I’m now definitely faster than if I was on the sofa......actually I’m pretty sure I’m faster than that little snail who wombled across our garden today ....well, maybe! I don’t care, I’m doing it and I love it. 😊

When I was a child in the 1950's there was song called 'Run Rabbit 🏃 run' I have not heard it for a very long time but it comes to mind every time someone reports their running progress. 😊 No rabbits 🐰 here on C25K, perhaps people who run like 🐌 snails are at least moving and not sitting on the couch watching Netflix. 😊

Speaking of Netflix did you see......joking, I agree feel so much better for it - four weeks ago I could barely run 60 secs! Each sessions is a challenge but really enjoying it.

👍

Have a look at the flip belt. It’s a great product ideal for carrying all your bits and pieces. There’s a bottle that goes with it for long runs

Flipbelt, I sized up and wear at hip level.

Phone, keys and it stays put. 🤩

Love the mug!

Mugs are cool, where did you find them?

I bought a running belt. Felt like I was in the 80's with a fanny pack at first, but I just put my top over it and it's so slim you can't see it. Tight too so doesn't bounce. I think the sizing is a bit on the small side so go up a size.

ESR Running Belt Runners Waist... amazon.co.uk/dp/B073GYDHTB?...

Really helped improve my technique as my phone was bouncing around in my pocket before and really put me off.

Good luck!

Great mugs! I got a pouch in a little kit from Aldi about 3 weeks ago - fastens round waist - you might get one OR saw similar that fits around arm in Sports Direct.
