Running, cycling, parkrun, active travel. Can often be persuaded to partake of chocolate.
Honestly - I'm a woman in my 50's. I'm already juggling a dozen things at a time and I have a pretty short fuse for this sort of nonsense.
Do not make my life complicated when you've already charged me a fiver for a roll of sodding wrapping paper.

This! I really miss Manon on GCN. I enjoy watching the videos but felt I got a lot from also having a female presenter. She was a natural and gave the guys a run for their money too!
I did feel her send-off from the show felt a bit shabby too - I'm a regular viewer and missed her farewell.

Thanks Charlie - yes, super-chuffed this morning!
I just need to make sure I don't get carried away - steady steps and keep it consistent. It's so hard when you want to get back to it, but I know keeping it easy will pay off in the long run!

Thanks Richard! Don't think I'll be troubling my 25-minute PB any time soon, but after a whole summer of no running it's just such sheer joy to be back out and running again - I'm not taking it for granted!

Glad to hear you enjoyed it and had a great run too!
We were lucky with the weather this morning - the usual 'Rutland Breeze' often makes the dam an enlivening experience!! 😳

And yes, I know the original wasn't scored as a Christmas piece, but it really is such a Christmassy piece of music!

Yep, completely agree. It's so hard to get going again, and it feels impossible to imagine what 'running comfortably' could ever feel like.
I'm a big fan of walk/run intervals which ease you back in, reduce the whole injury-risk thing, and also make it feel like you're in control of the session!
