This week I am on nights. I have just finished night number 2 of 4, so I decided to do my second run of the week this morning. Boy, did I suffer.
I had changed my route as I like a bit change. The route takes me by the side of a busy route so it has traffic as we are now hitting the rush hour.
I did my second run of 25 minutes and this time my distance was 3.5K. I managed a kilometre more on Monday. I had taken my inhaler prior to running as I am asthmatic and wanting to keep my airways clear. This run my breathing felt heavy and I wonder if this due to the pollution coming from the cars. My usual route is on quieter roads with less traffic.
I think I will do my next run either Friday or Saturday away from busy main roads. Plus I come off nights Friday morning. Well that’s my run for today; time for breakfast and bed.
Have a good day and happy running 🏃♀️

Great job getting it done. On the odd day when I run down pavements I really struggle with the fumes from cars, the air is so heavy and I end up running noticeably slower. As I live in a place with constant traffic, I’m pretty much always to be found running in the parks.
When I have my days off I am going to go exploring and find somewhere where the air is cleaner. I guess running after a night shift doesn’t work for me perhaps.
