Week 9 Run 1 🏃🏼‍♀️

[LauraRuns]

After my week off I returned to a long day of work today, catching up on emails and I was looking forward to logging off and getting outside for a bit once I’d finished for the day.

I deliberately set off slowly and managed to maintain a comfortable pace, this was my most evenly paced run to date (I usually slow down a lot in the last five minutes and my pacing can be a bit all over the place). I was amazed that I didn’t get any leg aches, didn’t feel tired and my breathing was pretty good - I even managed to speed up in the last few minutes. I think this must have been my gazelle run as StoneDragon wrote about last week! I didn’t reach 5k but am happy with my first 30 min run ☺️🦌

By the time I finished my warm down walk it was getting dark so home, stretches, warm shower and sausage & mash for dinner it is!

Good luck to everyone starting a new week of runs, we’ve got this!! 🏃🏼‍♀️🙌🏼

In order of importance what a brilliant Autumnal meal sausage n mash 👍 ( culinary tip..... Don't eat it in the shower your potatoes will get soggy 😝) and well done on that pacing, it's brilliant when all the factors of your Running start to come together it's a wonderful thing 👍

Haha yes definitely don’t want soggy potatoes 😂 ! Yay I’m so pleased it’s all finally coming together as I remember finding week 7 very challenging and was worried I’d really struggle!!

[Hidden in reply to LauraRuns]

Challenging yes some of the runs, but it's up to you not to let them become a struggle, go at your pace, that's the Golden rule LauraRuns👍

Fantastic 🦌🦌🦌🦌 gazelle running LR, you smashed it 👍 Sounds like your planets aligned and you really enjoyed it. Who could ask any more? 😀

I’ve taken an extra rest day as my ankles stiffened up over the weekend. Fingers 🤞crossed I’ll be out tomorrow.

Enjoy your gazelle run glow 😂
