That was another tough workout. Aimed for 10K under one hour just about did it on treadmill. Hard going after yesterday 14 mile spin. Pleased with progressive mile splits though. #running #ukrunchat #fitness #treadmill #10K #progressivemilesplits

Surprised myself getting up early to get to the gym! Could have actually done this outside as for once it wasn’t absolutely hosing it down! #running #fitness #ukrunchat #treadmill

Nice to get a relatively decent run in. 5 miles and progressive mile splits too πŸ‘€ nice to avoid any rain too! Trying to get some consistency going with my running and fitness. Never ending battle ! #running #fitness #ukrunchat

Managed to grab half an hour in between work and constant hospital visits. First run for over a week but managed 30 minutes including a 5K with progressive splits. #running #fitness #ukrunchat

So Mr Inconsistent #parkrun continues today. 82 seconds slower than two weeks ago. No logic, nothing in legs today. Still at least I got some fresh air and 5K πŸ˜‚ #running #ukrunchat Apparently my 600th activity on #strava too πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ would of thought I would be fit or worked out this running malarkey πŸ˜‚
