W2 R1 morning run - set me up for the day!

Went early morning, well 8.30am, and it was wonderful. So quiet, very still and I really enjoyed it. Found the timings worked brilliantly for doing a circular circuit of the village (other linger options also available, further down the line). And my new running bra really helped, the old one just did not cut the mustard 😂. Hope the next two feel as good as this one, felt good all day!

Good for you! 👏

A decent sports bra is as essential as a decent pair of running shoes. 👍

Sports bras are featuring highly today 😁 It's a revelation when you get a good one. Lovely spring photo too.

Well done! You're at the same stage I am :) can I ask which sports bra you purchased? Since starting running, I've found the ones I've always worn for the gym/spin etc just don't feel comfortable! Thank you :)

Hi, it is. Runderwear original - came as a pack of two - got 15% off for a first order, so just under £79 for two. It has got a racer back, so I do find it hard to put on ( not very bendy) but it is great. Ordered online and came very quickly. So personally I would recommend it.

Good luck with your progress, my W2R2 is tomorrow! Gulp!
