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.

Well done 👏. Good to start a run and see how it goes - sometimes we surprise ourselves.

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.

2°C and potential for sleet so it was the grippy Hoka Challengers this morning and a few laps of the park entertained by my audiobook. Sleet held off and my windproof gilet kept my core warm. 🦊=6 or 7.

2°C with the windchill but still ok when wearing a windproof gilet (& shorts). Thankfully no rain. Gorgeous sky with a waning crescent moon. A pleasant, relaxed run listening to my audiobook. Hoka Cliftons now at 900 miles

4°C and a starry sky, a lightweight windproof gilet needed. Planned a short-ish run but found running easy so added an extra mile and some hill sprints. Good fun. Monday miles are always very satisfying.

Mixing up walking and running is good 👍. And if you feel like a rest day that’s the right thing to do - do what you can do! Exercise should be fun and rewarding.

A bit of insomnia last night but up early for a run. One of those mornings when running felt easy. A ‘Productive’ run according to Garmin and a Strava achievement too (in a dodgy area of Birkenhead!). A ‘feel good’ run 👍

Wet & windy thanks to Storm Claudia so just an easy park run. Waterproof gilet sufficed. Not unpleasant and it would be boring if the weather was the same every day! New audiobook, a suspicious death in Liverpool 😬. 🦊=2.

Starlit skies & mild weather for this morning’s run. 3🦊 in the park, eyes looking at me! No ITB twinges during/after the run so thinking I’m back. The James Dunne glute exercises on YouTube working/fixing the biomechanics

Many runners also fail because they embark on a training program and try to stick to it rigidly - and can't due to off days and life getting in the way. My advice - make your running plans flexible, not a straitjacket.

ITB a lot better, strengthening exercises are working, so getting back to normal mileage now. Trying to focus on running form, standing more upright to allow glutes to work. Great to start the week with a satisfying run👍

ITB feeling much better, seems strengthening exercises are working. Slow run but further afield, down to the Mersey today with good views over Liverpool. Happy running, enjoying the mild weather, listening to my audiobook👍
