yep I do have gloves, I've already run with them on in the mornings but end up taking them off halfway through :P

Your times are so motivating to me!!
I know someone else already recommended this but HIIT is so good, especially if it's a really hilly area.
I'm always talking about how killerrrr HIIT is, but when it's done, it feel so good!
Also, I'm so curious, do you ever get a runner's high when you finish?
I feel like you have to run for several hours to achieve one (I never have time for anything longer than 1.5 hours! :( )
And I'd really like to know what gloves you use!
I like to hold my phone when I'm running (I wear 2XU leggings and they don't have any 'real' pockets) but when it's really cold in the morning, my fingers start to go numb and I get slightly terrified of frostbite!
Do you have like fingerless gloves (cos then you can still use the screen!) or like those fingerprint gloves or what?
I have no idea what to get!

thanks EF :)
Yeah tbh I don't even know if I can handle HIIT - I literally just can't do anything high intensity/sprint at all, but I can maintain a steady pace for ages
But you know, enough excuses I should try and get onto it :P

I haven't really, but I haven't really run much more than an hour so :P

I don't really know where she got the gloves from but my mum got me a pair of 'touchscreen' gloves where you can still use the thumbs and pointer fingers on your phone. I don't really need to use my phone while running (it's there just in case + to track my runs) tho but I find those gloves SO convenient!

thankyou. I hope to see you doing it again soon ;)
anyways...
the last time I posted was a week ago so I thought I'd do an update
wednesday: 5.6km
thursday: uhmmm well I tried a new route up in the mountain and got very badly lost. I stopped tracking after 9km-ish so I could find my way home
friday: 5.8km
saturday: day off
sunday: 8.5km
yesterday: 6km
today: 11km which is the longest I've done (so far)
I'm gonna try and keep running every day and my goal is to do a half marathon (21.1km) by the end of this month.
Idk if that's too ambitious lol? (If so, I might just aim for a 15-18k instead)
