Fantastic distance given the conditions ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘. Great selfie - tells a story of cold and determination

Thanks. Garmin says Iโ€™m โ€˜Productiveโ€™ too, yay! - except it thinks I ran 19 miles yesterday across the Irish Sea at a pace faster than Usain Bolt!

Well done, good distance ๐Ÿ‘. Better to have rain at the end of a run than the beginning.

Since youโ€™re โ€˜ventingโ€™ hereโ€™s the Queensway tunnel vent. Magnificent with some amazing decorative brickwork. The Queensway tunnel tour in Liverpool is well worth it.

Garmin suggested rest or low intensity training so it was a slow paced, low HR, run this morning. A bit of a run explore seeing ๐ŸฆŠx2 and the Belfast ferry docking. 4ยฐC and the rain held off.

My feelings exactly on January (and February). But enjoying the slightly lighter mornings

Four! I can manage 5.30am-ish for my daily run, but four!

Weekend runs are great, quiet roads & pavements. A bit of rain was forecast but it held off and it wasnโ€™t too cold. My aim was ~9 miles at a slightly faster pace and that was achieved. It has been a good month. Now porridge

No it didn't correct so I deleted the run in Garmin Connect and added the miles manually. I also had to delete the run from my watch as the 19-20 miles were still added to my weekly total. Run this morning was ok, Garmin behaved

Lots of puddles so I got my feet wet.
I thought my old Garmin had gone kaput but itโ€™s ok, no need to upgrade ๐Ÿ˜ข.

Just finished the DI Tom Janssen series, good story and narration. Now onto the Dorset crime series- not as good - yet.

Rainy and blustery this morning, a rare occasion I needed to wear a waterproof jacket. Hard going at times but a satisfying run with my new audiobook. Thankfully Garmin behaved itself today, gps and HR measurement worked.

The Hokas (road, trail and walking) and running kit I packed for two nights away this week. Comments have been made ๐Ÿ˜ข.

Garmin thought I ran 19 miles across the Irish Sea this morning at a world record 2.43/mile pace. Admittedly Iโ€™ve been trying to increase my pace but I suspect a gps error. In reality I had a nice, but breezy, 5.7 mile run.

A few days in North Wales so had a run explore of Ruthin this morning. Not a long run but itโ€™s great to explore somewhere new - the joy of trail running.

Well done on your indoor running and cross training too. I couldnโ€™t manage more than 30 minutes on a treadmill ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

Monday miles are great, that feeling of getting miles done early in the week & not having to catch up- not that miles are anything but a flexible target. Smiles before miles ๐Ÿ‘. Civil twilight at the end of my runs now- fab!

Getting into the running groove - itโ€™s a great feeling when that happens ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

More great advice Adrian ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘.
And jeffing is a good place to start for some. Walking on a run isnโ€™t giving in, itโ€™s still moving. Although a veteran runner I will still run/walk when coming back from injury . In fact the walk sections allow you to appreciate your surroundings even more.

Is it icy underfoot? Iโ€™m trying to gauge what folks are wearing in icy conditions, my bรชte noir. Thinking I may invest in Kahtoola nanospikes.

Easy paced run to finish the week. Grim weather forecast of cold drizzle didnโ€™t materialise so just a pleasant run, few people about, listening to my audiobook. Followed YouTube โ€˜Run with Ashโ€™ stretches before and after.
