20 minutes straight running and strangely enough it didn't seem too taxing. Breathing was fine but my calves were pretty angry by the end.
Did a change of scenery too running along the beach at Svalbarðsstrandarhreppur.
Thankfully, a friend made me a path with his skidoo. Although he did find it rather funny that a mad Englishman would want to run instead of drive
Well done !That's a milestone run in the program !
You'll probably be smiling all day now 😁
Take your time with week 6 run 1 as it often catches people out with going back to intervals !
Great picture also 😁
Ok, I'll bear that in mind. Next run will be Saturday I think as the weather doesn't look too good for the next few days.
What a beautiful place to go out for fresh air and exercise. I suspect, however, that I might find it a bit cold in winter, especially in the wind!
I love the sound of footsteps on fresh snow. Happy running

Well done.
Stretching immediately after every run, nhs.uk/live-well/exercise/h... while muscles are still warm and supple, pulls out contractions, avoiding carrying tensions into the next run and also improves recovery by improving blood flow, as recommended in the guide to the plan.
Many people do not hold their stretches for long enough or put enough effort in. Hold post run stretches for 30 seconds and make sure the pull is strong enough to be on the verge of discomfort.
Great advice, thank you. I will try this next run
That's a stunning place! The below freezing temps dont seem to bother you, so well done.We barely ever hit negative and I am still wondering how will I run in winters.
Coldest I've run in so far was -17°C but thats uncommon, It's usually around -5°C in the winter as Akureyri has kind of a micro climate hidden behind mountains on 3 sides.However I'm back in the UK for 3 months at the beginning of March so I'm not sure how I'll cope with your tropical climate 😃🙂😊
Running in snow is absolutely fantastic isn't it? (provided it's the crunchy snow not the slippery stuff we get in England). The coldest I've run was -10C, when I got home my thighs (which only had one layer of clothing) were completely numb, very weird as my extremities were fine!Dead jealous of where you are, it looks amazing!
I have slip on spikes for the shoes, but the paths here are quickly cleared. Especially on the popular recreational routes.Agree about the thighs it's definitely true for me. I've tried different combinations of clothing but now I just wear lightwieght bottoms. T-Shirt and thick Icelandic sweater, wooly hat and mittens.
Fortunately I've not run in rain yet as it won't rain until May so I'll have to rethink it then
Looks fantastic
What a lovely place to run though it probably wasn't easy running on uneven snow. Well done !
Iceland! Wow
