Best run so far! ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ CR 9

I decided today that I needed to slow down as my previous run exhausted ๐Ÿ˜ด me. I also put my short trousers ๐Ÿ‘– on as I have been so hot ๐Ÿฅต in my long cold ๐Ÿฅถ weather ones.

Well what a difference these little tweaks made to my run ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ!! I felt in control, my breathing was good ๐Ÿ˜Œ and I drunk some water ๐Ÿ’ฆ every time I felt a little out of buff.

I managed to run ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ 5km in 40 minutes and I am so chuffed as Iโ€™ve never run two 5kms in a month!!

I think this is a little bit of experience kicking in! Along with listening to my body.

Most importantly I actually enjoyed it and was buzzing ๐Ÿ at the end.

Happy ๐Ÿ˜† Sunday to all. x๐Ÿ’•

Congratulations๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰ I get cold easily abs take my time to warm up, but then I have to peel layers 10 min into my run. Iโ€™ll try my CR1 with less layers & see if that makes a difference!

I get cold ๐Ÿฅถ too but seem to warm up quickly so have learnt not to put too much on. Itโ€™s odd though to be running ๐Ÿƒ past people with winter coats ๐Ÿงฅ on.

Yes that was me a few weeks ago when it got cold & I went out early, had my down jacket on over my running top ๐Ÿ˜ƒ has to take it off & tie it round my waist 12 min later, but there was one morning I ran with it on all the way! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ well done with the 5Ks, thatโ€™s a great achievement ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰

Thatโ€™s so great to read. Well done, you! Thatโ€™s mighty impressive. And the ๐Ÿ too!

+ So interesting to learn about the incredible power of the small tweak - thisโ€™ll definitely be something to remember for the future.

I think you just need to find out what works for you. I will definitely go slow again & also not run when tired ๐Ÿ˜ด. Itโ€™s just doesnโ€™t work for me.
