Messy Runs and Beautiful Landscapes

2 February, 2024

I’m so determined to give Coach Mo’s programme everything I’ve got but this morning’s run in these beautiful surroundings got messy.

Drawing a line around something on a pic is clearly not my forte.

Running for 5 minutes plus a bit at a time is currently hard even at tortoise pace. I tried really hard for the full 40 minutes but the messiness started at minute 29! I had to stop to catch my breath twice and then the last five minutes did not resemble the workout at all!

Garmin, however, told me my run was productive - bless her. She so often just gives me a very boring “Maintaining” and every now and then an “Unproductive”. WTF - I need to have a stern word with her. No run is EVER “unproductive”. It may be so physically but it is never unproductive mentally.

The battle will continue.
