The Happy Wanderer - By Coz

The Happy Wanderer - By Coz Hi I'm Coz and this is a page for me to document all things walking and running. Hubby refers to me as 'The Happy Wanderer'

I don't class myself as a natural runner, but do my best and I love a good wander.

Newbury Half Done 💪. Was it the race I wanted? Definitely not, the heat really kicked in after the first hour. I had to choose between trying to keep to pace and potentially having to pull out, or accept today was not going to be a PB..... So I slowed the pace, walked when I needed and enjoyed talking to everyone along the route. Would love to try it again when it's not 30° though 😉

Tempo run today..... Was tough to run harder than the conventional pace I'm getting used to. Thankfully I hit my pacing targets and didn't die at the end 🤣. Two runs left until race day!! 😱

Two weeks to go until the Half Marathon 😱!! After a couple of rough long runs, today's 14km was much better. Struggled with the inclines a bit, but the flat and down hill were good.

After a difficult Sunday run and not feeling 100% today (and trying new shoes 👟), I wasn't overly positive about today's run.... But all was good in the end 😉

I have to say, I was very apprehensive about today's tempo run.... 400m reps at 6:05/km and 200m reps at 5:50/km seemed ...

I have to say, I was very apprehensive about today's tempo run.... 400m reps at 6:05/km and 200m reps at 5:50/km seemed impossible, especially with my 2k warm up feeling heavy and hard work. Turns out I smashed it at kept to pace (or quicker) 💪. Mind over matter is an amazing thing 😉

OMG!! Today's run was like a walk in the park!! So much more comfortable ❤️

Today wasn't the run I hoped for. More of a walk with some running in between 😆 but I got the 16k distance done in fairly warm conditions 🥵.

Missed out again this year 😔. I'll have to find another challenge to keep me going after the Half in August 😉
