New Personal Worst - but it's OK

At last! I found a mental breakthrough to maintain a nose breathing run. Definitely like Japanese jogging. There was a bit at the start where I couldn't keep up with someone in front of me who was walking.

So slow... And I don't feel like I've done a run.

Just a gentle (tourist) parkrun tomorrow and then a 10k trail race on Sunday! 😁

I guess that's a good way of staying slow and steady!

I usually get bored and want to run quicker but I'm trusting what the experts say about running slower to go faster....

Morning It's still a run though so well done for getting out there. I have done nothing since Alcester as my tendon has decided to remind me that i need to rest sometime. When i start again definitely following your good example and slowing down.

According to Strava. PBs for 10k, 5k, and 2 mile distances.

Strava also suggested this was harder than my usual effort.

I don't think a special algorithm was needed to work that one out!
