Changed the order today as it's already oppressively hot out for me. I’m wrecked by the end of the workouts. Starting with the running really burns me out.
This week trying two days running, one cycling (tomorrow), and two more running. 🤞🏻 #AppleFitness#Ottawa
I have 1 rule when it comes to weather. You can only "hate" 1 season. If you hate 2 seasons or more, then you probably should consider relocating.
I really hate summer. Hot, sweaty, sun burning off your skin. Even in the morning, that morning run... not enough white reflective layers in the world.
On the plus side, it did inspire the song "Chasing Shadows"!
Ok, who recognizes themselves as a "lung-gom-pa"? 😃 .
Let me start. I have been there for many years. Training was an easy way to sedate myself.
How about you?
Needing to get out and lose the troubles for a couple of hours we ran past Harestanes and up to the Waterloo memorial, road and tracks, woods and open road, 18.5k and warm.
BUT, with St Mary's dairy on the way home, we paused to grab one of their freshly made and superlative honeycomb ice creams.
@StarkSequence all the replies so far are excellent. Running slowly, at conversational capable pace, is the key to building a base fitness that will allow easy growth. It requires patience, but it absolutely works.
Also, everyone is different and everything is relative. Run for yourself and don't get bogged down in comparisons to others.
Post here often: we celebrate successes & help each other through struggles. This is an affirming group of wonderful people. You're now part of it!
Another gorgeous morning. 26.1k, a mixture of lovely quiet roads and tracks. Great views of the hills (Mintos and the Eildons - a far harder tun) and we met no one other than a couple of passing cars.
That is my pot stirring done for the morning. Now to get out with the dug for a longish (26k run) before it gets too hot. I always find it remarkable and refreshing that I can say that in Scotland - even in June!
