@SnapeBex Yeah, that's how I felt exactly 😁 Lesson learned: if it's not cold and windy it's probably not worth it.

A bit wet today but was expecting more from storm Ellen, clearly hasn't arrived here yet. Took the rain jacket and everything but I think I finished worse off with how much it made me sweat inside 😆

@AndrewHulbert @UKRunChat @Liz_Kentish 1. You're running against yourself and no one else. Take whatever pace and distance you're comfortable with and build up from there at your own pace.
2. Listen to your body and rest when needed, it's easy to get overly excited and then get sidelined with nagging injuries.

@mileswithshell @AndrewHulbert @UKRunChat @Liz_Kentish I wish I had access to a lot more trails around me, that would improve my running loads I believe. What I do on the road is that I almost always go randomly, I rarely get out with a planned route. This helps a lot with breaking monotony plus I got to now know my area really well.

@tremann999 @UKRunChat @AndrewHulbert @Liz_Kentish @injinji I have a pair of these as well and also no blisters but the Hilly ones are much quicker to put on so rarely use these tbh :)

@Liz_Kentish @AndrewHulbert @UKRunChat @springsteen That's why music doesn't work for me. I switch off from the music and start focusing on the small niggles and the tiredness super quick I don't know why. Another thing that helps me massively is running in the trails, I can just get in a flow state super easily, it's great.

[Ready Steady Run @ReadySteadyRun]

@AndrewHulbert @UKRunChat @Liz_Kentish Yeah for sure. Unless there's some injury going on, our bodies can take much more than what we think especially during the activity. Some days I'm super motivated to go the distance and it's fine, other days every km is a pain :)

@AndrewHulbert @UKRunChat @Liz_Kentish @audibleuk Yes, I discovered Audible a couple of years ago and I'm totally addicted to it 😁

@Liz_Kentish @UKRunChat @AndrewHulbert When I'm doing slower runs, I sometimes force myself to breath through my nose. If you can't do it, you're probably running too fast. Have a look at HT training it will help with that in the long run.

@DavidRVise @AndrewHulbert @UKRunChat @Liz_Kentish No runner has the most beautiful feet in the world 😂 Before I switched to wide toe box shoes my nails were completely battered all the time and while they're not bloody now they still look quite funny.

@AndrewHulbert @UKRunChat @Liz_Kentish I use @hillysocks Twin Skin. Bought mine some time ago and they're holding on pretty well.

@Liz_Kentish @UKRunChat @AndrewHulbert Unhealthy food for dinner can have a negative impact though. Sometimes feels like I'm pulling all the fat from the day before 😁.

[Ready Steady Run @ReadySteadyRun]

@Liz_Kentish @UKRunChat @AndrewHulbert I do intermittent fasting every day so if I run in the morning it means fasted run. I also have dinner around 7pm. For that kind of distances, you don't really need to eat anything in the morning, your body gets used to it super quick.

[Ready Steady Run @ReadySteadyRun]

@iAmKyleCee Exercise for sure, I already do a terrible job at eating healthy anyway that would be easy to drop 😂

[Ready Steady Run @ReadySteadyRun]

@AtLeastAMile Wow that's impressive for sure, well done 👏

[Ready Steady Run @ReadySteadyRun]

Took the Speed Goat for a bit more pronation support and the ankle felt good, let's see after it cools down but good signs. Last run was only 4 days ago and I just realised I'm speaking like I've been injured for weeks. Oh well it felt good 😂
