Now for the big one on Thursday 20 min run.

Didn’t think I could run for 8 mins but did it.

Now for a new Spotify play list in readiness for Thursday

Good luck those who are running today.

This made me laugh as we start wk 5 this week, didn’t realise it got longer through w5! I limp through the last 5 mins. It suddenly seems hard at the end! Not sure how I will manage 3 lots of 5 mins!

You will be fine, I am no runner trust me. I focused on recovery breathing and looking just in front of me. I unfortunately have to run up two hills so don’t like looking to far in front lol

Top tip: don't put all your banging tunes on your playlist. It will encourage you to run too fast. Start with something mellow.

open.spotify.com/playlist/0...

This is my slow run playlist. I have another one for speedier runs, but they both start slow.

I am quite old and boring, so might not be to your taste, but you get the idea.

Good luck!

No problem. It's always difficult to share playlists, everyone has their own tastes. My sons' lists are too testosteroney for me. 🤷‍♀️

If it's any good, I'm happy to share my other one. If not, I'm not in the least bit offended.

I'm always happy to share suggestions. I'm into my music.

Not what you're looking for?
