So, another run done, decided to leave it last night, for a daylight run today, usualy do mon/wed/fri, rest 2 days.

It still amazes me, that i'm actualy doing this πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ and also how friendly other runners are, and fast!!! 🀣, and the normal walkers too ☺

Did 5k, in about 40 mins, nike and strava, never seem to agree! I even briefly stopped to take a few pictures, today was first time going along the canal too.

Anyway, hope all you graduates from thur/fri, dont have to much of a sore head, and enjoy the rest of the weekend. πŸ˜€

Thank you, I still take a while to get into a run, but once i'm there, it seems ok, hadn't planned to up the pace, and it's always pretty windy, by the studios, it's very open, used to be an aerodrome years ago. Took a few photos, but couldnt work out how to put them all up! 🀣

Well done on your run- I did mine this morning in the park- weekend runs are so much nicer. You can enjoy a rest now, knowing you’ve been good and got the run done!

Nice one, Peter πŸ‘πŸ‘ 5k in 40mins is very good going. I like a weekend run, good bit of daylight to enjoy and post-run it's such a good feeling knowing it's the weekend and you can chill! Planning my run tomorrow morning. Will head out early as this seems to be my preferred running time now. No lie in for me!!

Yep, know what you mean about post run, time to chill a bit, dont get that with my evening/after work runs. Mind you, i get up at 4.30am mon-fri, for work, so try to get a lay in, at weekend, so no very early runs for me! 🀣

Haha! You are actually doing this - you are, you are - and smashing it. Was the new canal route good?

+ Haha! No sore head for me, thankfully, but I did overindulge on the food last night (fabulous, but rich). Today, I’ve had a quiet day: market, my zoom yoga and, having enjoyed that so much, decided to sign up for a meditation class too. I’m now beautifully zoned out and all floaty.

Sounds very calming, and relaxing! ☺The canal was just a little bit, at the end, to get up to 5k. Hope i'm not overdoing it, achey knees etc, next week going to start the ju ju magic running plan, to try and get to 60 mins! πŸ₯΅πŸ₯΅πŸ₯΅

Cripes! That sounds ambitious. Not at all calming and relaxing. πŸ˜‚

Btw Have you tried the nhs exercises for runners’ knee strengthening? These really helped, I found, and a lot of my knee issues subsided (miraculously). nhs.uk/live-well/exercise/k...

I'm actualy very naughty, dont tell anyone else, but i dont do alot of warm up/ down stretches, mainly just 5min walk, and usualy longer walk, at the end! 🀫

Ooooo... I’m definitely among the well behaved group here.

Maybe time to add them, especially as you up your training? And especially to support those knees? (You’re also missing all the fun with foam rollers πŸ€ͺπŸ˜–πŸ˜΅)
