Thanks so much.Yep, I got tired of plodding so decided it was time to do some proper speed work – my self styled sessions are still really short but paying dividends and I’m doing my best to make it fun! I’ve also shortened my stride which is weird at first but now feels much more efficient. Essentially I’m using suggestions made in this book which I reviewed here – https://runningonfullblog.com/art-of-running-faster/ I wish you well with it. And I’ll be sharing your club’s motto with mine – LOVE IT!

Cheers Darren – it will be interesting to see how I progress over the coming months. And yep, our club has fabulous bakers and always puts on a superb spread!
