First time I’ve run on a Thursday lunchtime with the University of Manchester’s running group – UMRun. We started at the Active Lifestyles Centre on Denmark Street and jogged to Stretford Road.
From there we did a 20 minute challenge – run out for 10 minutes and see how far you can get, then run back to the start in ten minutes.
Normally my solo runs are a nice gentle pace, but this was closer to my parkrun speed. It was a really good workout in the end!
If you click through to the Strava entry you’ll see the GPS from my Apple Watch was all over the place, probably down to the overcast conditions and the faster pace. Next time I’ll try logging this on my phone.
My second run of the day was from work to Piccadilly Station to catch the train home. I made pretty good time considering I was wearing a winter coat and carrying my gym bag!
