A year of running

Today it has been exactly one year since I embarked on c25k, i remember almost dying on the first run due to the app going rogue and cutting out. I must have run for 3 minutes on the last repetition before I noticed 😂.

Since then I completed the programme and did the bridge to 10k as well before running for 7 miles/11.2k as part of a marathon relay. Then came the summer and I was knackered by the heat but still running regularly albeit for shorter distances and a slower pace.

Autumn has come round again and loving it the cool air and quiet streets have me buzzing for it all over again.

I did this to get fitness but it's become a way of life now even though the novelty has worn off I love getting out there and putting down miles. I might do the relay again and i am trying different types of running, long slow runs, short fast runs and hills just to stretch my fitness.

Oh and just for good measure my wife got in on this and she's a dedicated runner as well, the first thing we now pack is our running stuff any time we go away.
