steevc just finished a 7.51km run, that lasted for 44 minutes.
This run helped steevc burn 573.0 calories.


Description from Strava:
I have not done so much running in the last week due to travel and family stuff, but am back to the routine now.

This was my usual jog up to Fairfield that makes me work on the hills. I was not feeling too energetic, but got a little quicker as I went on. It was fairly mild out there, but I felt just a couple of spots of rain.

I saw a couple of runners, but more dog walkers. Others are on their way to work or school. I do appreciate my working from home days when I do not have to rush to get ready in the morning. I still try to get my run done so I can start work before 9.

The houses behind me are pretty new and lots more are being built. There is so much building going on around here. It's a shame to lose the countryside, but there is demand for places to live, especially close to London.

I will aim for an intervals run on Thursday.

Run free and stay well.

Nice job on your run. I pulled myself out of bed the past two days and worked out. That is definitely a win for me. The weight training I did on Monday has my arms pretty worthless for a couple of days though!

Have to find the balance that works for you. Running is just one thing I do and it won't take over my life, but I need to do enough to get some benefit.

I am kind of looking forward to the day I am out of work. I feel like I cut my workouts short because I need to hurry up and get to work. I'd like to start doubling my time and doing some 40 minute workouts eventually. Then again, I'm not a fan of wishing away the present!

It seems we have the same weather, @steevc. It's been cloudy and there's a light rain pour as well.
How I wish I can run as you do. I have barely time for that but I jog once in a while.
It's sad that some places in the countryside are now filled with houses. But others need a home, too. So yeah. !PIZZA

You just have to fit exercise into your life if you want it. It's easier now as I don't travel as far to work.

It's funny, sometimes you read about the lack of building of new houses going on but around me all I see is building work going on

There will be hundreds built here over a few years. We don't seem to get much in the way of new amenities though. There will need to be new schools, but public transport is lacking.

Morning is the best time for a run, although I've got into this routine recently of getting up at 6.30 working for a couple hours, run and breakfast at 10.00-11.30 then back to work. Breaks up the day pretty nicely.

Funny I thought 'new build' as soon as I saw that roundabout! Standard template for the estate!

I like to get the run out of the way first thing. After years of getting up really early to drive to London I consider 6:45 a lie-in.

Ah it's all relative! I did used to get up earlier when I was in teaching, I'm finding 6.30 now at this time of year especially optimal!

It's what you are used to and what your body can handle.

I've just been reading about running slower for better results. Maybe I need to aim for a lower heart rate on some of my runs. Something to try this year. Will still do some intervals and parkrun is my gauge of how I'm doing.

There's certainly something to be said for not maxing out, I made a point of deliberately not pushing it today when I could have gone faster, I noticed I was already 30 mins faster than my same run last week, that's enough of a gain for one week!

Nice elevation, few hills I guess, those are the best, running full flat sometimes is boring, I just got back to running again too about a month ago, I love running in the morning but Im not a morning guy and I start at 8 at the office so I usually run at 6 p.m, sun is down, weather is cooler, just about the same distance 7 - 8k depends on how Im feeling, have to stay healthy since Im not getting younger 😁, thx for sharing ✌️

I think of it as fairly flat around here, but there are a few small hills. I've fun in places with much bigger ones and those are hard work.

We each fit exercise into our routines where we can.

Now my hand is fine too I have started running again but now it will take me some time to do so much running again today I have only done two kilometers. In the morning, when the breeze is blowing, it is fun to run.
