Easy, slow run enjoying the Sunday morning solitude, dry conditions and my audiobook. 4°C and a gentle breeze but still shorts weather. Now for porridge with peanut butter and banana 😋.

The DCI Tanner series by David Blake. A well written crime series set in Norfolk, good storyline, just the right amount of suspense and a very likeable main character.

Well done. I don’t mind the cold but icy pavements are my bête noir! Tough conditions but a great sense of achievement afterwards 👏👏👏

I ran tired today after ~5h sleep. Perhaps a mistake but it was enjoyable & satisfying and I avoided the forecasted rain👍. I made up for it with a short post-run snooze. Run perhaps not advised but definitely not regretted.

I’ve seen many runners become demotivated because they can’t keep up with a training program. Jo Pavey nails it - do what you can do. None of the ‘no pain, no gain’ nonsense.

‘Business as usual’ today after recovering from my cold. Slower, taking it easy, listening to my audiobook. A chilly morning, 1°C windchill, but shorts are still fine. Nice to start the day with a small sense of achievement

Sorry to hear that. It’s distressing that the negative voice is 10x louder than the positive voice, you’re not alone in this. If you can distill what is fun and just do that. Do what you can do, time and distance aren’t important. Post your activities and we’ll cheer you on 👏👏👏.

Back to running after my bout of man-flu so I eased back into it with a short 3:1 run/walk around the park. Dark, rainy and I enjoyed every minute. Great mind and body therapy 👍

This is some of the best advice - basically ignore the strictures of a running plan and, when you’re ready, run for sheer enjoyment. It doesn’t have to be far or fast, it can include walking. Enjoy an audiobook, nature, stopping and seeing. Come back soon and we’ll cheer you on 👏👏👏.

Not every run can be fab. You’ve been out though and 🤞 your next run will be better!

V early run, taking a friend to the train station. Easy paced miles, I love the quiet of a weekend run.<100 miles until I reach my mileage target. I like the sense of achievement but it’s built on every run being enjoyable

I spotted this sign in Ireland. Absolutely agree, running improves my mood, gets me out in nature and gives me a sense of achievement.

You’ve been on quite a journey! For me it’s about daily therapy - summed up by this meme. I’m retired, reasonably fit so running is easy. Cycling, gym or swimming are no substitute for my daily run. My mantra is ‘Enjoy your running and let the miles take care of themselves’. Smiles before miles!

Relaxed run to and along the Mersey embankment. 10°C but breezy and Jupiter seen in the clear sky. Great to get a run in before the rain arrives later this morning 👍.

Back to running after 2 rest days. Easy paced run around the park and Mersey embankment. Feeling good so did some hills and strides. V warm, might go for a short sleeved tomorrow. 2x🦊 this morning.

Real runners support and encourage other runners, whether they’re fast or slow. Approvals not required, we’ve all got our own backstory. To me that’s why Parkrun is a great success- such great camaraderie.

Fine run this morning after better sleep & listening to the conclusion of my audiobook. Added some sprints. Blessed by a Productive run by Garmin and 2 achievements by Strava. Great to start the week with a feel-good run.

Early run with just an occasional shower. Forgot to start my Garmin watch initially so it was really 9 miles - but who’s counting? Not fast but therapeutic ‘me time’ listening to my audiobook.

Persistent light rain & 5h sleep but the run was fab, went an extra mile & did hill sprints. Not unpleasant conditions & a waterproof gilet was all that was required. Entertained by my audiobook, 2 x🦊 & docking Belfast ferry

I like this quote - basically, do what you can do and don’t beat yourself up due to changing circumstances. Life happens, it’s annoying, but you’ll figure out a compromise. Take care 👍.

2°with some ice in puddles, gilet, gloves and shorts. Decent run despite <6h sleep, even did some hill sprints. Wicked double bill at the cinema tonight- chance for a decent snooze 🤞. Rest day tomorrow.
