At 10 degrees Celsius—optimum temp for a run. My watch shouted at me less about being out of Zone 2. I kept this easy run eeeaaaassssyyyy.

Learning to respect the purpose of each run (thanks @coachbennett ) for that reminder.

Getting closer and more excited about #CapeTownMarathon as it gets closer each week.

Did Pilates and some time on the bike. Was great after the week’s training and good prep for the 20km long run.

Loving the cross training. #CapeTownMarathon loading.

So grateful for #parkrun a community for runners at all different levels. Great way to start my weekends. I often use it as a recovery run. Was great today not chasing any PBs etc besides embracing the easy run.

16 weeks to #CapeTownMarathon and still loving the journey of getting there to start AND finish.

The easy / recovery run isn’t easy sometimes. It can be hard to hold back when you can run & want to run faster. Sometimes I do it right, this Saturday’s run was so hard in terms of holding back.

Slowly building up the longer runs as I train to start and finish @capetownmarathon.

Runners, how do you “check yourself” so that you’re not running faster / harder than you should be?
