Recovery run.

I'd read that you should do your recovery run within 24 hours of the hm.. Well.. . 6 days later I managed it. I was a bit anxious leaving it so long but a certain 3 yr old staying had something to do with that. ' Mormor, not running... Playing with me'! Today I went.... 6am and the heath was pristine. It feels like my world when it's empty. Listening to music from Scotland I had a huge grin on my face when the first jig was played. I had a beautiful 5k, saw a deer, rabbits and squirrels. When I got back to the car the beach was still empty tho the 8 campervans parking overnight illicitly were obviously not early risers. A quick swim and home for breakfast.... It's good to be alive and able to do this so often.

Oh, that sounds like such a wonderful early morning run! I’m sure the little one will have more than made up for your delayed recovery session.

Yes great to get up early before anyone about. Well done on your recovery run and your swim. You probably did as much running about after a 3 year old . 🙂

Thanks Asnadrun, I'm lucky enough to live near the sea and love those dips at the end of a run. Especially on a deserted beach.

Just wonderful. So good for mind and body 🙂

I’m doing a coastal HM in Sept. If it’s nice I’ll be in afterwards🌊 😁. Mind you it was nice last time I raced there but it was much colder down on the beach 😁 I volunteered to play with the little un 🥶

Good excuse! AR the moment the winds are off the land and from SW so the sea is calm.
