A 5K Maintenance run

[Instructor57]

I was not intending to run today but the forcast this afternoon was better than that for tomorrow so thought I would go !

A bit chilly so wore tights, long sleeve top light jacket and gloves .

This was a naked run in terms of tech and music !

No music and no looking at the watch until 5K 😁

It made a pleasent change 😁

I know exactly where 5K is on this root so stopped then for a quick check !

Picture taken just after arriving home 😁

Well done, Ian! Another 5K under your belt! And no music - we all seem to be trying the same things. I mostly run without music now, but I do like the NRC guided runs. I don’t like the sound of my own breathing, especially if I’m working a bit harder 😬

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to Jools2020]

To be honest the only reason there was no music was because Spotify said it wasn't downloaded 🤣

[Jools2020 Graduate in reply to Instructor57]

Haha! I thought it was a conscious decision, but it sounded like you enjoyed not having it! 👍

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to Jools2020]

No， I couldn't decide on an NRC run so was going to just have music , but ended up with neither 🤣

A good steady 5k, it’s nice when you go out when you weren’t intending too, not sure about running without music, only time I’ve done that was when my tech played up, I suppose it’s a change to listen to the sounds around you, nice if you’re running in the countryside. 🏃‍♂️

I never ran with music on C25k untill week 6 run 3 then I had a 24 minute pink Floyd track 😁

A very good "maintenance" run for you today Instructor57, I also ran 5K this morning, I am not sure if I should call it maintenance, however, it was my 25th (not) parkrun, I didn't have any music 🎶 either, nice photo of your Garmin Watch.

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Thanks Al, it was strange with no music 😁

[Reggit Graduate]

Nice one,

I couldn’t contemplate running with music now. Sacked my phone off a couple of weeks after finishing C25K in summer and haven’t thought about music since. Prefer to hear where cars are 😂

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to Reggit]

It was a bit strange but yes , good to hear the traffic coming 😂

[Birdlady64 Graduate]

Nice run!And not a bad time for a "maintainance run". I like that phrase. I'm going to steal it from you and use it myself 😁

My run this morning was also without music or NRC - intentional rather than accidental - but was rather laboured. But I had the opportunity to run somewhere special so couldn't resist.

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to Birdlady64]

Haha, I'll let you steal it 😁Oh, where did you run !

I'll find your post then I'll know I guess 😂

[Buzzbeebh Graduate]

Nice one, congratulations 🎉🎉

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to Buzzbeebh]

Thank you 👍

[Fabulous450 Graduate]

Very nice Instructor57!! 😀 and a great pace too!! No Garmin watching is a great way to just enjoy a run and it seems to have worked well for you too! 🤩🤩❤️

[Instructor57 Graduate]

Yes, made a change to not have music or watch the watch' 😁

Well done Ian on your naked run!!, glad you enjoyed it.

Would you believe I saw a man running with no top on this morning in the park but he had his bubble hat on!!! 🥶🥶🥶❄️❄️❄️

Happy running 🏃🏻‍♀️💪🐻🐻🐻

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to 9weeks2Run]

Thank you ,

Wow really ! Crazy 😐Good job he didn't have your sparkly leggings on as well haha 🤣🤣🤣

[9weeks2Run Graduate in reply to Instructor57]

Lol!!

I have seen him a few times in the park with no top on but was surprised today as it was so cold wondered if it is some type of endurance training or something

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to 9weeks2Run]

Perhaps he had escaped from a local institution 🤣
