This past week has been full of achievements starting with a Bedford park run PB. 26:25. I don\u2019t know why, but since they changed the route of Bedford Park Run since COVID, I find it much harder. It\u2019s now anti clockwise around the park, and instead of a sharp incline and a nice long decline, it is a long gradual uphill climb and a short downhill. Some would probably not even class this as a hill but, to me it might as well be Everest! I am sure with time I will get used to running up hill. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From complete beginner in January this year, to having run my 4th 10k with the run club this week. I am feeling so proud of myself. I am just so happy that I’ve started something and stuck to it. This is something that I am not very good at usually!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Run club this week was great. We had a change of meeting point and therefore a different route too. We started off at Bedford Park and it was glorious sunshine. Cue a necessary selfie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to an unforeseen route change half way, it ended up being more than 10k and it was my longest ever run! 7.1miles to be exact. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

10k is starting to feel easy, however only when running with other people. I find it harder to increase the distance on my own. That may be down to the fact that there aren\u2019t many safe running routes near where I live. There is a loop I can run twice to make a 5k run but this has become boring. Also I need more ways to distract myself when running so I can keep going without getting bored and stopping. I have a good running play list on Spotify which you can check out by clicking on the Spotify icon at the bottom of the homepage. Maybe I should try some podcasts or audio books to keep me entertained. <\/p>\n
