a pretty place to play

Hi, I'm Bethan, a runner, yogi and PhD student from London. For questions or press please email me at aprettyplacetoplay@gmail.com.

I'm on Instagram...

Today’s miles are proof it is totally possible to have a run that’s both good and bad.⠀
⠀
The good - the weather was nice, I got to run on some of my favourite urban trails, there were perfectly ripe blackberries to snack on and my legs carried me for 8 miles.⠀
⠀
The bad - my legs did not like carrying me for 8 miles and every 3 miles it became apparent I’d messed up my fuelling strategy because my body was screaming for something to keep it going. But at least I learnt something. ⠀
⠀
How was your last run? ⠀

Giving 100%⠀
⠀
Last night was all about cardiorespiratory fitness testing @trainfitnessint and I had forgotten how great it feels to really push. ⠀
⠀
I've mentioned in the past that I've become a bit of a wuss about pushing, that I can be over cautious and afraid about my body hurting or not being about to 'do it', but last night's all out efforts on the treadmill and the ERG reminded me that I can push. That these all out efforts are temporary, that I am able to recover quickly and go again, and above all that sometimes it's fun to push yourself to the brink. ⠀
⠀
When did you last put in an all out effort? How did it feel? ⠀
