Losing weight/fitness thread

Just done my longest (this year) easy run - 17km/10+miles. Feels like it should be a well-deserved rest day tomorrow (or maybe it’s ok to fit a short run?) 🙃
Go for it! I always enjoyed short run on Christmas morning gets me out the way while Mrs M squirrels around getting things ready. This will be first year in 10+ years I haven’t done it as we’re on a tight schedule to go to the in laws
 
Did 6 easy miles on Xmas day including ParkRun.

Today did an interval session, hit all the reps some quicker then advertised. With the walking breaks 7.5 miles, felt like I’d done a proper session.
800m into 400m Intervals with Runna ✅

1.25mi warm up at a conversational pace (no faster than 9:45/mi), 90s walking rest

4 reps of:
• 0.5mi at 7:45/mi, 90s walking rest

60s walking rest

8 reps of:
• 0.25mi at 7:35/mi, 60s walking rest

1.25mi cool down at a conversational pace (or slower!)

I wasn’t going to do ParkRun afterwards but got talked into it, a nice easy 32 minutes running with a friend.
