Got the working week off to a good start with an early morning run. Current training plan has a decent length run the day after the weekly long run - Tired run. It’s an effort to get out the door but very satisfying when complete. #running

Bank holiday long run. Some hills, some trail, enjoyed that. #running

#parkrunuk Abingdon this morning plus a few km extra. Steady start and strong at the end, nice start to the long weekend. #running

Very short run in the #garmincoach training plan today - 5 minute time trial. Much prefer longer slower runs, I ain’t built for speed. The plan for the week ahead is a jump in mileage - looking forward to it. #running

Long run yesterday, tired legs run this morning. Not expecting it to feel easy and it wasn’t. Two rest days scheduled then a time trial on Friday. #running

Out and back run this morning. Kept a steady pace and still felt good at the end. It was dark as I headed out the door, soon be back to a few more layers of clothing and getting home before the sun is up. Summer is nearly over. #running

Nice #parkrun this morning. Little bit of drizzly rain to keep things cool. Kept at a comfortable pace and felt strong at the end. Times are very consistent but this was an aged graded PB. #Running

Am following a HM training plan not with a race in mind but as a structured way of building endurance. Today was a 1 mile time trial, 40 years ago as a 21 year old this was my marathon pace. #running

[Grumpy runner @grumpyrunner01]

Steady run this morning, just getting light when I headed out and quite chilly. Is summer over already? #running

[Grumpy runner @grumpyrunner01]

10km to start the week. A bit of exploring down side roads and cycle tracks. #running

[Grumpy runner @grumpyrunner01]

Glad it was a short easy run planned for today. Legs still not recovered from the hilly runs last week. Nearly the weekend 👍#running

[Grumpy runner @grumpyrunner01]

Slow run this morning, legs felt heavy from yesterday’s run. Managed to get the planned distance done though. Looking forward to a rest day tomorrow and not getting up early. #running

[Grumpy runner @grumpyrunner01]

Longer run this morning, got to see the sunrise and it kept dry. Hope we are back to summer weather for a while.

Back home and an early Sunday morning run in the rain. My rain jacket is definitely not waterproof- soaked through. #running

[Grumpy runner @grumpyrunner01]

Took it easy today. Windy and wet, avoided steep hills. Starting to get the right pace for hills now. Heading home tomorrow, not sure what we will do today not the weather for the beach.

[Grumpy runner @grumpyrunner01]

Another holiday run done. Supposed to be an easy run but not found too many flat roads. Think I’m going to have to include a lot more hilly runs when I get home. #running

[Grumpy runner @grumpyrunner01]

Longer early morning holiday run. Less walking on the hills today and got a bit lost. Very enjoyable, only here for a wee so need to make the most of it. #running

[Grumpy runner @grumpyrunner01]

Early morning holiday run, great to be by the sea and have some hills. Ran downhill to the harbour lots of walking on the way back up. #running https://t.co/QfyMgn66E5
