Morning Run - After the rain

I just finished a 13.2km running that lasted about 1hh:16mm:42ss !

It feels like a while since I ran as the last one was on Wednesday instead of my usual Thursday run. I could have done one in between, but decided to rest my legs. We have had some rough weather with high winds and lots of rain, but yesterday was not too bad apart on one big shower. I was at an outdoor pub jam session with my musician friends for the first time in ages. We played for a while before it properly rained and we had to stop.

Today was overcast, but generally okay for running. I did a variant on my usual loop around Fairfield and Stotfold. I could be quite happy if it was always around this temperature when I run. My legs were not feeling too bad really and so I just went with what felt okay. That means it was not a particularly quick run, but that is fine.

I saw a few runners out there. Most will wave, nod or say 'morning'. It is impressive how many different people I see out there. It is not always the same few and I think they are more ladies than men.

I did not have to resort to walking today and my podcasts did not play up, so it was running all the way. Nothing much to report in terms of wildlife or unusual sights.

Strava shows my heart rate being up a bit compared to some other runs, but I did not feel I was working especially hard. I am not sure how accurate the readings are. On my previous runs the rate did not go up that much on the sprints, but then it felt like the watch strap may have been a bit slack then and maybe it was not making good contact with my arm.

I will try to do more intervals this week to get my heart and lungs working.

Enjoy your Sunday. Run free and stay well.
