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.

Really enjoyed today's run.... After the first km 😂. Now I'm getting to grips with how to start slow to warm up the lungs and adjusting pace & form to tackle hills it's been a game changer. Two weeks left of this plan, so maybe a half marathon plan next 😉

Great fun had by all at the Stowe Colour run today!! As well as achievements galore ❤️ Well done team

Struggled today 😖 The early morning cold air on the lungs was a shock to the system and never really settled into the run. Still punished myself by running up hill for the last kilometre 🥵. It was tough, but I got it done and didn't give up 💪

Wasn't feeling it today when I went out. Was worried I wouldn't keep my breathing under control..... But it turns out, I did pretty well. More hill training and kept a steady pace and completed the 11k as planned 💪. One week until the National Trust - Stowe colour run.... White tshirt and glasses at the ready 😉

Sometimes we need that little reminder of how far we have come. The top pic was 2024 and the bottom 2days ago. Between 2 and 3 stone lighter and finding runs much easier. 💖

Rolling 400s today. Surprised myself at how well I did 💪. 5k in under 35mins too ❤️ I feel like I might just be getting the hang of this pacing thing 😂

Another good run done.... Thought I was doing OK until Adam Wakeman came past at his 'conversational' pace 😂

After being a bit run down this week and missing my last planned run, I got out today with no expectations of any improvement...... 10k done and a new PB on the Stowe Ave segment 💪

Pleased with today's run. Kept the place at the right level, but pushed on the last interval before the cool down run. The trainers are also feeling good now. Even ran up Page Hill Ave 💪

Dare I say it, but I am quite enjoying this running lark again. What has changed?
🔹I have changed my programme to one that encourages a slower pace as well as quicker interval sessions
🔹I'm no longer constantly fighting to control my breathing
🔹I remember my purpose to go out is for my own health and mental welbeing, not to be the next Olympic gold medallist
🔹It's my running story, so how I do it is up to me. ❤️
