🍏 Fartlek or Foolish

🍏Out into the sunshine as it’s a balmy 3deg. I thought I had downloaded an easy 20 min Comeback run on the NRC as there is still lots of ice to negotiate although most of the trail is good.

The app wasn’t working so I fiddled around and it started. To my horror it was a 20 min Fartlek run with 6 mins of easy pace running to warm up. I decided to play safe and listen to the coaching, maintaining my easy pace & keeping an eye out for the ice.

A happy lady to get in a 26 min run with no slipping or sliding. πŸ™Œ πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ β˜€οΈ

Good run for you today Annieapple, happy that you got that 26 minute run completed without falling in those slippery conditions, winter seems to have come earlier in some other parts of the world including Norway and Canada where there had been frost, ice and snow, so far the UK hasn't been cold, just rain although where I live Friday, Saturday and Monday were nice days, it rained most of Sunday, enjoy your holiday and if you run any more just be careful as you were today.
