Turns out there lots of runners out there who, like me, quickly get freezing after a run! This happens most after very long or intense runs. I shared why this happens and here’s a slide summary from that post explaining what you can do about it. How to stay toasty after your run.🧤🧣 ☕️

Unexpectedly amazing run tonight! Time to kill while son doing fell training. Hard walk/run slog up the hill. The sensation of completely flying on the way down. Sometimes you have to be fearless and let go and give in to gravity. Absolutely loved it. What a treat 😌 And to think I almost sat in the car because I’d already had a run today and felt tired after work. Grab those chances everyone!

My running partner is in the dog house. Nipped out for a quick run with her as I have a busy day. She rolled in a huge, soggy cow pat. Full shampoo of dog, harness, lead and me required. She’s drying off in her dog bag but she’s not too happy about it 😏 Bless her 😍 #runningdogs #runbuddy #runwithmydog #smellydog #inthedoghouse

I tried a new route today. City rather than rural. Miles along the canal, out to the sea at Morecambe and then looping back into the city centre. Didn’t notice the miles with so much to look at. Mixing it up, exploring and going somewhere different really brighten up your running I find. Obviously one of the benefits of restrictions easing too. Even if it’s just down a different road why not try a little exploration on your next run? #runwell
