Ian - if you're not a morning person you'd struggle to run fast so early in the day.
I am a morning person and even I run faster if I run late in the day. Although I think my days of doing doubles are long gone.

4 miles this morning, not much energy, legs felt heavy. Coolish, a bit humid.
On my return run I came out of the woods there's a grassy section before going back onto the road. I could see a dog walker was having some issues with his dog so I slowed and then stopped briefly to let him sort the dog out, the dog seemed stressed by my approach. Turns out it was a Great Dane puppy, gorgeous, but already about 3ft tall at the shoulder.

I find I run faster later on I would run 6 am and then 1pm and the afternoon run was always faster and this was a recovery run.
You are doing well with the miles Shades-everything feeling fine? Puppy sounds a handful
My RHR +6 so going to run post surgery if I feel like it -if not a rest day really fed up with all this back and forth you think great all going well then something else happens.

WP - that's annoying your RHR bouncing up and down.
Re running, no, not going well at all. Covid seems to have wiped out my aerobic system. However, I'm only a few days back running so hoping things will improve. I'm enjoying being back out there but it's like running through treacle right now. 😉

Shades:It is early days and sadly it takes time .Hopefully the treacle feeling will go away Covid really does a number on our bodies.

Rest day today from running.
I’m loving the Wattbike but from day 1 it doesn’t always remember the settings so every so often I needed to reset it. Not a big issue really but I contacted Wattbike and they say it must be a circuit board fault so they’re replacing the whole bike today and taking the old one away.

Big G - that's good service from Wattbike. I'm sure the delivery guys won't mind carrying it down and then up the steps 🤣

Big G-Thats great service from them,suppose it should be for the price of the bikes. Probably rest day here also. I got to have 1 this week, and it's raining all day, and I want to do my long run tomorrow.

Yes. When I was arranging delivery over the phone a question was ‘is it being installed on the first floor’?’. I said ‘no’, and due to that they needed to send two guys. It’s turned up so I’ll set it up later.
