Run to the Mersey embankment, this is the easy, low trip hazard route option when it’s dark. #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning

Torch-lit run through woods, across fields. Full of self-doubt that I could do this, after 6 long runs last week, but I’ve run 9-milers many times (bloomin’ mind games). It’s simply putting one foot in front of the other & enjoying. #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning

A back twinge as soon as I set out, but it eased off. Running in the park is boring but I did spot ~6 foxes. Not my best run but miles banked & I’m enjoying my audiobook - another murder in Norfolk! It’ll be a better run tomorrow. #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning

Taking it easy this week after putting in some miles last week. Shorter distances and a relaxed pace. Perfect running weather. #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning

A breezy 11 miles to complete my 66 mile challenge for the week & celebrate becoming a pensioner today. It’s been a fun challenge and I don’t feel my age - perhaps it’s my genes and also being annoyingly happy. Rest day tomorrow. #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning

An easy paced, low HR run this morning. That’s 55 miles done this week out of my 66 mile target. Foxes, incoming Belfast ferry and a fab sunrise. Due to Storm Amy tomorrow’s run might be shorter. Enjoying the challenge. #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning

Unexpectedly blessed with a Productive run by the Garmin gods this morning. Keeping a relaxed pace to ensure I’ve enough energy for the remaining 22 miles of my 66 mile week. The weather was almost too warm - not complaining though! #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning

Heavy rain, waterproof jacket required initially, but running was easy (little wind). Fab run listening to my audiobook. Planning 66 miles for the week, on plan but the w/e looks very windy so added an extra mile today. #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning

Early run, thought of a lie in, then thought better of it! Dark torch-lit run in the park initially then a fab sunrise over Liverpool. Loads of people (runners, cyclists, walkers) about at 6.30am. Monday mile are great 👍 #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning

A short run today to complete my week/month mileage target. Perfect weather after last night’s rain. Relaxed run listening to my audiobook. #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning

Early run, dark initially and fox eyes watching me in the park. Slower run than normal due to a breeze but enjoyable listening to my audiobook - two murders in Northumberland 😬 #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning

A happy 10 miles this morning. Three foxes illuminated by my headtorch in the park, Venus & Jupiter in the sky, a fab sunrise over Liverpool. Running was easy today, even had a PR along ‘Dodgy dealer’s alley’.The joys of Birkenhead #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning

Early run with a head torch, Venus in the morning sky, 7° and perfect running conditions - I love this time of year. Legs found it easy going and I even had a PR for a dodgy Strava segment (see map!). #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning

Autumn equinox & fine views of the sunrise over Liverpool. Legs happy this morning & I ran at a slightly faster pace. Radical change to my route by running it clockwise! Misty in the park, 7°, autumnal and fab start to the day/week #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning

What a difference a day makes! A glorious sunrise compared to yesterday’s deluge. Second outing in the new Hoka Challengers and they’re feeling great on the local trails. A sunny week ahead too - looking forward to more sunrise runs👍 #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning

Even heavy rain couldn’t dampen my excitement of a new shoe day. Hoka Challengers, a road to trail version of my Cliftons. Nice cushioning and should last >1000 miles. Just a run around the park but relieved the shoes fit- phew! #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning

Retiring my old Hoka Cliftons today at 1403 miles as the uppers have started to split 😢. Replacing them with Hoka Challengers for light trails. So much potential for enjoyment and adventure 👍. #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning

17° at 6am tomorrow so I’ve had to dig out my summer running kit again, but I’m not complaining. Looking forward to it 👍 #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning

Welcome sunrise views after yesterday’s deluge and the Queen Mary ll in Liverpool. Finished my audiobook - murder mystery solved in Wensleydale. Now for porridge 😋 #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning

Slightly shorter run today in heavy rain. Just dressed appropriately and enjoyed the different sights and sounds. Pardon the double negative but there was nothing not to enjoy. Shoes might take some time to dry though 😬. #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning

9.2 blustery miles after a rest day yesterday. Good fun, rain held off and enjoyed listening to my audiobook. Legs benefited from the rest day. Perfect start to the day 👍. #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning

Back home now and therefore a run to the Mersey to see the sunrise over Liverpool. Not fast, but a mind-relaxing run listening to my audiobook. As I say ‘ enjoy your running and let the miles take care of themselves’. #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning

Blowing a gale on the Cumbrian coast, roof slates rattling, but still fine for a run. Just slow going into the wind. Lovely morning sunlight and no rain 👍. Even (wind assisted) speedy coming back. Fab start to the day. #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning

A visit to the Cumbrian coast and a fab morning run in the sunshine. Legs a bit heavy but still an enjoyable run, especially when the sun came out. Loving my audiobook, a murder in Skye but still some run-stopping Scottish humour. #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning

An easy run alongside the docks and Mersey to catch the sunrise. Enjoying being out, the early morning peace and my audiobook. Monday miles are always satisfying - something achieved at the start of the week. #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning

Insomnia last night so contemplated not running but as I wasn’t going to get any more sleep from 4am I decided to run anyway. Slower pace & planned a short run but ended up with 8 mi. Run was energising & had a wee snooze afterwards #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning

Rain forecast today, waterproofs packed, but thankfully it stayed dry - yay! Just a relaxed, easy, enjoyable run. Cruise ship docking in Liverpool #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning

Rest day yesterday. Today’s run was easier and at a slightly faster pace, it felt great. Effortless pace, a new audiobook and a fab sunrise over Liverpool made this a very satisfying run. #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning

Sunrise over Liverpool, fab running weather,Miss Marple solving the murder and an inexplicably faster pace.Must admit to a touch of ‘runner’s smugness’ for the miles covered this week and month. Gain but no pain - just lots of fun. #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning

This whole summer only one story has dominated our entire politics & it comes down to literally 30,000 people in hotels. Ridiculous. The government needs to get a GRIP it’s pathetic.

Sunrise run, great views across the Mersey. Fab weather, 14°, and no breeze. New audiobook was an improvement on the previous boring one. Weekly/monthly mileage targets reached, more importantly it was just another enjoyable run. #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning

Outstanding.

Sunrise run, feeling fresh after last night’s rain. More effort required, perhaps because my audiobook is a bit tedious. I’ll listen to something else tomorrow. Like my maxim in life - ‘Life is too short to accept the status quo’ #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning

Mersey embankment run today, ok except for thigh muscle twinges. English flags 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 flying at Seacombe, nice to celebrate a Turkish soldier who killed a fictional dragon. Slow last mile, glut of garden courgettes catching up on me 😬 #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning

Tweak to my normal route, so a bit of an explore this morning - keeping it interesting 👍. Overcast, a bit of rain and warm temperatures. Now for porridge with peanut butter 😋. #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning

Rural bank holiday run to start the week. Fields, forest paths, foxes & few people about. Easy paced, comfortable run with views of the sunrise. The sense of achievement from a run is good for your/my mental health, as the sign below says #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #health

Dog doesn't like being compared... 😅🤣 #dog #dogday #bluesky

Fab run this morning. I’ve loved the challenge of running this route multiple times this week- fields, forest paths & hills. Each day a mini-adventure. Strava has even given me some awards whereas Garmin said ‘maintaining’. Thanks😬 #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning

Early run, seemed slow but Strava gave me a few awards including a PB along ‘Discarded briefs to Samaritan crossing’ section 😬. Audiobook in the last few chapters captured my attention. Charm of goldfinches for company in part. Fab👍 #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning

An early 10 miles, my third this week. Who does this for fun? Well it was fun, very fulfilling and easily within my comfort zone. Entertained by nature and my audiobook. A fab start to the day. Now for porridge and peanut butter 😋 #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning

Early rural run. Even picked up a Strava award for 2nd best time along Discarded briefs to Samaritan crossing’ segment. Stopped for a photo - of me, not the briefs! Enjoying my slightly longer morning runs, seem to have the energy👍 #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning

Rest day yesterday so I was full of energy this morning. Decided on a rural run, to add variety to my normal routine, and running through woods and across fields came easy. Great way to start the week 👍 #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning

Sean Hannity agrees:

Cooler today and running my regular route in reverse.Garmin LiveTrack has been playing up so I used WhatsApp location tracker as a backup for my wife’s peace of mind. Nice easy run, a bit slower than normal- too much pizza yesterday? #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning

Slightly cooler so ran a bit faster and with a lower HR. Even managed some strides at the end. Enjoyable run listening to my audiobook - a body was found on a Norfolk beach! #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning

Tough run in the morning heat. HR up to 121bpm. I inadvertently left my running shoes with friends in Cumbria (boo!) so back wearing some 1300 mile old Hokas - and they’re great (yay!). Slower today, in the heat, but that’s ok 👍 #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning

Returning to my former home for a couple of days and I had been looking forward to a run along the Cumbrian coast. Wind, mizzle, and it was fabulous. Can’t wait for tomorrow’s run 👍 #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning

Rural run, navigating some rickety stiles and a detour to avoid a field of cows. Great to be outdoors, exploring the best of nature in the warmth of the sun & all before 8am. As I say ‘running is so much more than just running’ #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning

Perfect running weather, gentle breeze and sun breaking through. Regular route and even added an extra hill. Entertained by a new audiobook too. Fab start to the day. Now for porridge 😋 #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning

Gentle jog with my daughter. Not far, not fast but great fun - enjoying making memories 👍 #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning
