Newton Running
Autism Awareness 5k
After last weeks 17:39 at the Run for Independence 5k I was keen to get out there and go for something a bit quicker – especially as things are definitely hotting up at the #tweet5k! I ran my usual 2 mile warm up, felt pretty good throughout and finished off with some fast strides and [...]
Newton Running Sweetspot
Earlier today I was thinking about the 10 mile progressive run the other evening, and how good I felt and how easy many of the miles appeared to be.
