W2R2 going slower 🐌

So just done W2R2. Strava said it was a bit slower (9.59 vs 10.42 km/h) and I ran less far (2.83vs2.74km). Which I guess is good huh 🐌🐌🐌🐌🐌🐌 🀣.

My back is starting to ache. Being so careful about not heel striking. Any ideas?

Hope you all enjoy your runs today - I nearly enjoyed this one!

Stop looking at distance and pace. You’ve only just started. Obviously the longer the runs, the slower the pace will have to be. Slow down more as you progress!

Thanks. I am embracing my inner snail every time. Just think it’s funny I walk faster than I run.

Well done. I can’t see your run on Strava but you are definitely doing well. Snail trail is the way to go. I’ve not made it below 10.00 yet so well done. Onwards to r3 !! πŸŒπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ
