Week5 run1

This felt suspiciously easy. My strategy of going more slowly with a shorter pace is working well. I am also trying to run from the front of my feet rather than heel striking. It feels like I’m running flat-footedly but it is much easier on my feet afterwards. I also bought a new pair of shoes for road running as I am in the city today. They are Asics gt-express and are well cushioned.

It's great when a plan comes together!

I hope your strategy carries on working - nearly half way there

Well done on having a great run. Glad you enjoyed it!
