Started the new year with the Southend Park run not the quickest after the Christmas excesses but still glad I made the effort.

Run Leigh 10 k night run last night, was brilliant from start to finish though the Leigh hills were hard

Did the start time keep many runners away, or was it well supported?.

Was about 300 runners, but a new course through two tree Island from car park, amazing crowds along the route, highly recommend next year

Join the club!! During the first lockdown I ran every day for a week, only 5k but I was close to breaking down by day 7. I've learned to just accept what my body is capable of and focus on enjoying my running, however often I can manage. And let's not forget that rest days are an important part of any running regime.

Generally I only run once a week and do other training on other days which includes some cardio, some strength and some core stability. I also very rarely train at the weekends which means I get at least 2 days off a week.

I'm considering signing up for that one - have you done it before?

The advice on the C25k programme is that the days rest after the run is as important to the body as the run itself. I do 3 5ks a week (running indoors as it's so cold). I alternate the runs with Joe Wicks. Just started his 7 days of sweat. I cannot do one of the exercises so swap it for another. One of the common pieces of advice I've read and at my age I've read a lot, don't really want to drop down dead, is listen to your body.

Talking about listening to your body, when the weather is OK I run along the sea front. Usually people overtake me. It's OK some look about half my age and are running at what I see as a ferocious pace. However as I got used to the 5k I noticed that I was catching someone up. I thought just open the throttle a bit and bag my first. Wrong. I felt my knee getting a bit dodgy. Decided to make the right decision and slowed down. Never did catch her ? but at the end of the day it's about your fitness.

No first half I’ve ever attempted

Just wondering how flat the course is. I've only done a couple of halfs myself, but I've set myself the challenge of a new PB this year. Might do Chelmsford regardless, and then do Southend in June which is a nice fast/flat course.

Been told Chelmsford not to bad to run first time so fingers crossed, if run pm me and chat before the race
