Best run so far! πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ CR 9

I decided today that I needed to slow down as my previous run exhausted 😴 me. I also put my short trousers πŸ‘– on as I have been so hot πŸ₯΅ in my long cold πŸ₯Ά weather ones.

Well what a difference these little tweaks made to my run πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ!! I felt in control, my breathing was good 😌 and I drunk some water πŸ’¦ every time I felt a little out of buff.

I managed to run πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ 5km in 40 minutes and I am so chuffed as I’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 🐝 at the end.

Happy πŸ˜† Sunday to all. xπŸ’•

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

I get cold πŸ₯Ά too but seem to warm up quickly so have learnt not to put too much on. It’s odd though to be running πŸƒ past people with winter coats πŸ§₯ 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 πŸ˜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! πŸ˜ƒ well done with the 5Ks, that’s a great achievement πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰

That’s so great to read. Well done, you! That’s mighty impressive. And the 🐝 too!

+ So interesting to learn about the incredible power of the small tweak - this’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 😴. It’s just doesn’t work for me.
