Week 2 run 1

[Phoenix010]

Yay the sun was actually out today, nearly forgot what it looked like 😂

No wind no rain, this was a good start to week 2 😀

The extra 30 seconds added to run weren’t as bad as I first thought once I sorted my pace out. Although towards the end I was feeling it a bit in the legs.

I do like running along the beach something tranquil about 😀 going to miss it when I go back inland in a weeks time.

Well done, great start to week 2 by the sounds of it 😊

I am so jealous of the beach running lol! I am very much stuck with hill running round here 🥵🏃‍♂️🤣

Good luck for the next one. It's all about the breathing and getting your pace right isn't it 😁

Thank you Brunsamarathon 😀

It was a really good start, first morning I looked out the window with a smile on my face 😀

Yeah the beach running is lush, going to miss it myself soon, got one more week left, then I’m back in Cambridgeshire for my running, been trying to work out a good route but which ever way I go I’m going to hit a hill ☹️ If you got any tips on hitting hills I’d be grateful 😀 On the plus side I will get one run a month along the beach when I’m back down visiting 😀

I think I got the pace right but my breathing dose need to be worked on, it’s all over the place at the minute 😂

Ah Cambridgeshire, that's where I'm originally from 😊 At least you get the beach running occasionally. That's got to be good for knees lol!

The hills are just slow and steady to start with. I started just going with along as I'm still running, now matter how slow it's okay. Now it's so much easier.....oh and don't look at the top of hill lol...look just in front of you 🤣

I moved here about 8 years ago, I do like it up here 😊 but I miss the sea massively, not that I’m a big swimmer it’s the sea air that dose it for me 😀the weekends I go back down are a godsend.

So it’s like the don’t look down when your up high but you always do 😂

Slow and easy wins the race and don’t run into anything as I’m looking down avoiding the top of the hill 👍 got it 😀

Thanks for help, much appreciated 👍

[Brunsamarathon Graduate in reply to Phoenix010]

Lmao yeah, something like that 🤣 It sounded so much clearer in my head 🤔🤣

[Phoenix010 in reply to Brunsamarathon]

😂 I’m just playing 😀 you made perfect sense and your advice will be really helpful when I go and take on that hill 😀👍 problem is it will coincide with the first run of week 3 😬

[Brunsamarathon Graduate in reply to Phoenix010]

Ooo bad timing! Maybe use a blindfold? Lol 🤣

[Phoenix010 in reply to Brunsamarathon]

😂 great so I’ll run blindfolded using the force to guid me, I’ll let you know how many bushes I’m pulled out of 😂 either that or people will just point and laugh as my legs are scrambling to find the ground 😊

[Brunsamarathon Graduate in reply to Phoenix010]

Lol you will brighten someone's day though....on a positive 🤣

Maybe stick with the don't look up and avoid the lampposts 🤣

[Phoenix010 in reply to Brunsamarathon]

Lol,, Always good to brighten someone’s day even if at my expense 😊

Think your right, it’s probably best to see where I’m going 😊👍

It is nice ruining along the beach the sound of the waves and the sea air is awesome I highly recommend it if you get the chance 😀👍
