Run > Long Run

Less than 2 minutes slower than the 5m benchmark on a treadmill last week.
The first km was scuppered by waiting for traffic so I could cross the road, immediately realising I'd left my phone in the house, waiting for traffic so I could cross the road back home, picked up phone, waited for traffic so I could cross the road and then set off properly, all with Garmin running 🤪
I went out to do a mile, after 5 hours of travelling, but legs felt good, there was barely any wind and the lack of rain here meant no icy paths despite it being 0ºc and I'd only done 3400/10k steps for today, so I ran and kept running until I'd done 10k steps, then an hour and then rounded up to 8km as I've not run 5 miles non-stop outside for nearly 6 years. I put in a bit more effort for the last mile or so because I could.
Day 18 of RED and legs still feel fresh. I feel like the runner I used to be back in 2013/14 🥳
