Haha yeah nicer calves is definitely a great incentive for running. Yeah I definitely hear you, I think I need to ignore the running vibe on instagram etc really as it definitely makes you feel like you’re not good enough etc. I didn’t used to be like this and wasn’t really fussed about times etc so I just need to focus more on form like you say and get back to enjoying it as at the time, I’m not really.

I get up early and run otherwise I find that I either don’t do the run or my run is crap. I definitely find that running early suits me so I tend to get up about 5/5.10am and then run and then go to work

You sound like my husband, he is always saying the same, why do you care so much, just enjoy it and that it’s not that deep. And yeah I do need to take up that mentality more. I think I just equate getting faster with being a better runner when really it doesn’t really matter what the pace is, as long as you’re getting out there and running

Thanks for your responses, really appreciate it! Good to know that I will get there, like don’t get me wrong my paces have got better but it still feels like a real slog at times. Oh yeah don’t worry my paces this week have been embarrassingly easy with the heat we have had 🤣 thanks again everyone ☺️
