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 πŸ˜‚. Hope the next two feel as good as this one, felt good all day!

Good for you! πŸ‘

A decent sports bra is as essential as a decent pair of running shoes. πŸ‘

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 Β£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!
