Hello loosfan
Although I haven’t posted for a while, I have a few runs to update on. I didn’t run much in Manchester at the end of term because I never woke up wanting to go to the parkrun and I have officially hurt my hip (recurrent theme). So I took some time off running and got a bit better so I could run in Dorset with my dad!
These were pretty hilly (around 130m elevation) compared to the flat streets of London and Manchester (I live everywhere in both of these places) so I really struggled. However by the last run I made it through all the hills and the whole 6km route without stopping! We also did some some cool hikes (apologies for the non-run content) which I loved and the scenery was amazing. Unfortunate developement on runs was armpit chafing which is as unpleasant as it sounds & is due to my wearing vests/sleeveless things as it was warm…
I think my hip was feeling fine in Dorset but realistically it was building up and got worse when I ran at home through the park. It’s been quite bad recently so I’m gonna do some low-impact stuff.
