Morning! Started a new job so haven’t been abale to get out much. WFH today so making the oar of the morning with a 5k with 2 hill climbs. Think the standing desks at work have helped with maintain tone and core. Anyone else experienced this?

Morning! Dank and dreary 5k. 2 big hill climbs and still under 30 mins (which is my target up to 20k).

Felt tired and under energised this morning. Pre run nutrition tips anyone?
