W5R1 harder than I hoped - but the rain stopped

[Emcg51]

Week 5 run 1 tonight and the first 5 minute run was much harder than I hoped it would be 😕 BUT after windy rain most of the day it dried off as we went out and the sun even shone. Not looking forward to run 2 on Saturday but resolved to try my best and can always repeat run 1 if I need to!

Oh and it was my first time using Strava too 👍🏻

Congratulations! Watch out for Strava - it can get addictive. I have had to train myself to treat it as interesting rather than a blow by blow account of my progress. That way, it doesn’t matter if my pace goes up and down - which of course it does.

Brilliant well done. I've just started week 2.

How are you finding strata to use ?

I find it very sensitive

It was my first time using it, I’m not sure how accurate it is though as I was definitely not faster going uphill as it suggested! 😂

If that's what it's saying I'd take it haha.

It kept stop staring itself on my Samsung watch so it looks like id done 30 mini runs
