Oh not feeling so naff now!!! Headache gone, naffness gone, W2R1 gone!

Extended my warm up walk to try and counter-act the “toxic ten”/uphill part of my run. Definitely felt better in that my second run was a good bit better than second runs were last week - not sure if that’s because it was on the flat, because I warmed up for longer or because I’m fitter - perhaps all three.

Had a bit of a wobble in the middle of the run because my ear phones became unplugged and then I had to get them back in whilst trying to climb over a wall and carry on running. Then I was walking and the bell went and I turned round and started running rather than carrying on walking. Pretty sure I ran more than I ought to rather than less and I just adjusted the run a bit.

Think I might adjust the warm up completely to be the uphill bit and then just run on the flat.

Feeling very pleased with myself tonight.

Thanks buddy. The support on here is incredible, but also think it works as a really good place to put your thoughts down and just reflect on what’s working and what’s not.

Look at you thinking about the toxic 10 already and how to minimise it! Great job... clever running.
