W5R1 done! With layers & hat!

[Buzzbeebh]

I do get cold! This is what I wore starting out the run this morning. And a hat with a bobble on top. I only got hot when I reached the 2nd 5 minute run in W5R1. It took me that long. Then got cold on the cool down (or the warm down, as Jo Whiley calls it) & put on the Rab jacket again!

Another runner crossed on the other side, with a running vest and cropped tights, & must’ve thought I’m mad with so many layers, looking like I’m on my way to Iceland. But as Jo said on the run, it’s alright to look crazy while running, that’s part of it all 😃

And I loved the run, the weather didn’t bother me. So all in all a great morning!

Well done! The other runner probably thought you were fitter, takes a lot more to get to running temperature. 😁

I see “cool down” now but always knew it as “warm down”. I suppose cooling down is logical.

Thanks that’s very kind. Not sure if it’s a level of fitness or my sleepy circulation -

Probably the latter as I’m only on week 5 😃Thinking about it now, warmdown makes sense if I put a space in “warm down”, as in the warmth goes down...

Love the Rab jacket?....

can I ask where it’s from? 🙏🏻

Hi TinyTears60, Tx, bought it a long time ago, so I don’t remember where from. Perhaps Snow&Rock shop. But I bought a similar one in dark grey for my husband from Surfdome online, you might want to check that website. It’s very light and cosy, & packs down into the pocket so easily packed.
