Negative splits and getting faster makes me happy 🙂

I think there must be something to this idea that running longer distances and hills improves your pace.

Usually I'm slower than usual on my evening runs coz of the dark, and damp pavements but today was a good run...I love a good run 🏃‍♀️👍

I'm finally starting to realise that rest is important too, so after running 10 miles on Sunday I decided to give myself 3 full rest days 😱 without a run to ease my aching legs fully before heading out again...I think it worked!

Did I mention how much I love a good run😅

Congratulations on that 10 mile run, no harm on giving yourself a three day break. So glad you like running 🏃🏾. 😊

Good stuff Run46. The hills and long distance runs have helped my speed over 5k too. I sometimes take a bit of a breather in the 4th K to leave enough energy for a quicker finish...especially at Park Run where there some sneaky people around who like to pass you on the line 😊

[Run46 Half Marathon in reply to Beachcomber66]

Lol, little sneaks...you've got their number 😉

[Beachcomber66 Administrator Half Marathon in reply to Run46]

Oh yes !!👀

[Run46 Half Marathon in reply to Sandie1961]

Thanks Sandie...I'll bank this one to remember when I have a difficult run! 😉The good ones definatly outweigh the bad 😀

That looks like an absolutely perfect run! Rest days are so important - it takes confidence to rest for more than a standard day between runs, but once you have that confidence there are a host of benefits to be had 🙂 - none better than a good run!
