I only ran twice last week , using the weather as my excuse. However ,as it doesn't look like the weather is going to improve much , I've just been for a wee 25 min plod, sliding most of it ,but I did it ! Here's to Wednesday and running or sliding for a little longer !

That's it, we've got to keep going regardless! It can really help to adopt a shorter, quicker stride, keeps your weight more central to avoid bad slips 🤞🏻

It’s not easy to keep going in these conditions but well worth taking any gap in the icy conditions, hope you get out again tomorrow, I’m going out more in the middle of the day or early afternoon when conditions are usually a bit better 🤗

Yes, I'll probably go out about 11 tomorrow, perhaps get a lift to the park and run on the grass !
