Week 7 Run 2 and the speed gremlin has gone

Think I’ve finally managed to make slow and steady feel normal. For someone who works at breakneck speed that is quite something!

I just run along in my own world listening to a podcast on a very windy day in the big city.

The last 5 minutes was tough so I just broke into one minute at a time and somehow that worked. Weird.

I do envy your beautiful photos and at least I can get to a London park soon I hope 😀

Hoping so! Can’t wait to run surrounded by grass and river. But some good runs for now owning my pace!

It’s so good to still be able to get out, just imagine Spain weeks of not going out to run

Well done! Especially on the last 5 mins, they say those are the ones that really count!

I love a good podcast and tbh it’s the only time I listen to them so like you I just trot along in my own little world 😊
