8K Easy Run – Mill Lane & Woods, 47 mins

The ever mis-named easy run – was feeling reluctant to go out for some reason, having had two days off had a mini crisis about whether I was able to run and keep going – after all this time! So had to force myself out telling myself it would just be an easy run – I kept the pace very slow, following a new route which I have walked before. Used trail shoes – felt a bit puffy in the early stages and some steps cut in the hillside took it out of legs a bit as I ran up them, just kept going very slowly, ended up going uphill up Stockport road and just jogged lightly home – whereupon it started raining again – I seem to keep missing the September showers.

How I felt on this run worries me a little, as I felt I couldn’t have gone much faster and maintained it – so hope another couple of rest days and an easy run before Sunday’s race will stand me in good stead! 😎
