First time leaving off the tights today.
Serious chaffing.

@Bandage: make sure you plan your long run for next Saturday. Tell your wife around Thursday of this, and tell her that you donāt want to take anything away from her day on Sunday (Motherās Day).

Lash sudocrem on before the run
Donāt wear jocks. Running shorts generally come with a liner inside. Thatās all you need.
You have to wash the shorts after every wear then?
I always wear jocks, fuckit I donāt think I do anything right

I have about five pairs of running shorts, and I run max three days a week so Iāve always got clean shorts.
Do you take the liner of the shorts out if youāre going to wear jocks as well?
If Iād worn my sports jocks Iād have been grand, just forgot them cause they werenāt needed with the tights.
Sports jocks are keyā¦normal jocks will rip you apart

Have to wear training jocks, as in mini cycling shorts. The chaffing isnāt worth it. Vaseline is your only man.

I had an āincidentā this morning. I wear shorts with integral liners/underpants. Somehow this morning in the dark (blinds closed), I managed to put them on inside out without noticing. I then did 10k in and around a fairly busy back to school didsbury.
When I got back I realised to my alarm that Iād just spent an hour running round didsbury in effectively a codpiece.
When herself , who had tears from laughing at it managed to catch her breath, her first statement/question was āyou didnāt see anyone we know did you?ā

Most enjoyable run in a long time this morning. Calves are absolutely burning after it but it feels fantastic. A grand break at the top too to recharge.

Thatās good clipping with that elevation
Iām going to take a few days rest here. Ankle not too bad this morning (a little bothersome overnight) but below the knee is a little painful today (Iād say one triggered the other kind of job). I looked back at Strava last night and the KM that I rolled ankle on was -278m. If it wasnāt single track, it might have been a useful one for a fast km challenge.
I was averaging above 6 until the descent. Didnāt stretch myself but didnāt come down easy either. Itās outside my 5k but on a Monday morning itās completely empty. Would be mobbed at weekend
Yeah, we are going further and further away from the main tracks so we tend not to meet many people, only proper hikers. Came down a grassy path for last 2km yesterday and met four mountain bikers, two runners and about a dozen walkers.
This would be a part of our route yesterday @mac (not my image, google imaged it). We would have eventually gone down to the right
