Morning Run: Just keep running
steevc just finished a 7.06km run, that lasted for 40 minutes.
This run helped steevc burn 504.0 calories.
Description from Strava:
I had not done a run in a week due to travels and other commitments. I have swum a bit in our pool and did a brief session last night as it was getting dark.
Today was about getting out there to get the legs working. I just set off with the intention of trying to keep running on the Fairfield loop. I mostly managed that and the pace was not too bad. The selfie is at the highest point and I know I look a bit flushed. From there it was mostly downhill.
I am fairly happy with this run as the pace was better than I have managed on that route recently. I saw a few other runners out there. There's also an older guy I used to see striding purposefully up and down the hill. I had not seen him recently and wondered what had happened to him, but he was there again today.
It is definitely cooler than it has been recently, but I got pretty warm anyway. Breakfast when I got back was muesli with some blackberries I picked last night.
Have a good week.
If you wonder about why I put the hashtags on Strava it is for this app to pick up and use on Hive, where I earn from my posts. Let me know if you are interested in doing that.

Great work mate! It's good that the whether is a bit cooler for you, I'd imagine the heatwave was a nightmare to deal with while out for the runs.

I've tried to avoid the worst of the heat. The pool has been great for cooling off.

I've managed to walk every day for a week no matter what. I'm quite pleased. One day I'll work my way up to running :)
I've done a fair bit of walking too. I think I did well over 20k steps one day when we were away. Any sort of activity can be beneficial.
I think walking is underrated, especially for overweight and obese people. It's a way to at least get moving and get the blood flowing. When the weight reduces, one can start running, otherwise one might wreck one's knees :)
It's been a long time since I last went for a run - pretty sure I wouldn't make it to 5km these days! Good pacing there on what looks to be the Tesco Express loop :D
It takes time to build stamina. I want to do some longer distances as well as getting faster. Just have to keep on getting out there.
Yeah you just have to do tempo runs mixed in with longer distances. I've been enjoying tennis the last 12 months. My fitness was pretty bad to begin with but over time, I've never felt fitter than now and loving it! I could keep my phone in my pocket whilst I play I guess but it's not the most comfortable!
Nice to see you running. You never miss it. I love the spirit 💓.
