Feeling a bit knackered after a 12hr shift & for the first time was wavering whether to eat & sleep or maintain my schedule. Having read a few posts it’s pepped me up & its the latter. I’ll cave afterwards not before 👍

Well done you, half the battle is getting out the front door.

Think that’s why I enjoy the early morning slot; don’t give myself the chance to talk myself out anything. Yoga tomorrow to aid recovery & set me up for Thursday’s 5.15am run 🏃‍♂️ How’s your running?

[bingbongsong in reply to Vegout25]

I prefer early morning runs too then you don't have to think of when you last ate. My 2nd run of the week is tomorrow.

Well done! Great resolve! I was determined to go on my rower last night as cross training as I am running tonight. I was so tired after work that I just sat on the sofa all night 😳. Not a great day for me but today’s a new day!!

[Vegout25 Graduate in reply to Beany123]

Having an extra day’s rest is sometimes called for. Enjoy your run today 👍😊

[Beany123 Graduate in reply to Vegout25]

Thank you. I’m running with a group and I’m hoping I’m still at a similar pace. Occasionally they run too fast for me!

[Vegout25 Graduate in reply to Beany123]

That’s a good idea as holding a conversation whilst running helps the breathing & ensures you run at a sensible pace. I’ll look for a group after graduating

[Beany123 Graduate in reply to Vegout25]

Most groups are super friendly and supportive and if you’re at a slower pace they will loop back regularly to keep group together. I wouldn’t push myself enough without the group! Plus I see the more advanced runners and it motivates me to improve 💪🏃‍♀️
