Ran before breakfast on this windy day and it was all good. I have to thank this group for telling me about Japanese slow running. I watched uTube videos yesterday and that’s been a revelation. I can see how this works!!! Yaaaay👏👏👏

Japanese slow running is great, I was using that technique when out jogging with Mrs LeeU as she's on week 7 and a little bit slower than I am but it allowed me to keep roughly at her pace and complete her 25 minute run.
