This week's long run... Whilst I felt (and I know look) exhausted after a ridiculous week - I felt extremely comfortable and loved finishing with @
parkrun(22:29).
I really hope as I up the miles that I can maintain pace, time will tell ๐Ÿคฉ

After a ridiculously crazy day... I ran harder than I've run in a long time... Absolutely needed and loved that ๐Ÿคฉ

I don't mind the cold but was running a long run think 15 miles that day was about -1ยฐC, and then came a hideous shower of freezing rain for about 15 minutes. I needed to get the run done, cold and soaked, got sprayed by a lorry and just had tears ๐Ÿ˜ญ... Embarrassing really, but that was my worst.

Working away up North this week. Haven't been able to run outside, with where the hotel is. So two decent runs on the treadmill and three good swims the past two days.
I forget just how good swimming is after a run ๐Ÿคฉ

Normally I'm Mr positive, but tonight's run felt rubbish. Tired legs, head being mean and just mehhh.
Got it done though.

Absolutely no judgement here. We're all different. Do what makes you happiest. Our bodies are just one part of us. ๐Ÿ™

Might not have been the safest day to do a half marathon.Speed was not on the cards,staying upright was; icy at -4ยฐC.
The ice formations on trees, the deer running through the forest, the sun shimmering on the river - breathtaking!

Hello! I run and gym...currently training for the London Marathon.
Currently...
Mon + Tues Run, Weds +Thurs gym, Fri + Sun Run.
That's my current schedule. Likely more running will be added in as the weeks progress.
I aim not to do both in a day.

Absolutely buzzing! Today we ran the Breckland 10K for TAC members... I managed to complete the course in 42:51, which is a new personal best, almost a minute off of my previous 10K
