cackleberry Feb 2021 12:52pm, 12 Feb 2021 1,977 posts	Quote Pin cackleberry I've done a couple of relays during lockdown organised by the RED community on FB. I've done my normal Friday run, stopped up til 1am Saturday, then run again, then gone to bed. Don't run all day Sat, go to bed and run on Sunday. Feels like I've missed a day! One weekend I ran my relay at stupid o'clock, then did a long run during the day - died a thousand death. Then I realised I'd run 16 miles in a short window of time with about 4 hours sleep. No wonder I felt shocking!! I've not forgotten to run, but often procrastinate until gone 10pm. I have slipped out at 11:45 before in a complete mardy with myself. But that's my own stupid head that needs sorting out, not the Streak's fault!!

Limegreenjelly Feb 2021 3:23pm, 12 Feb 2021 155 posts	Quote Pin Limegreenjelly I am usually out by 5am most weekdays! It’s a difficult thing for me to forget, I usually wake up before the alarm! This morning it was 4am!
cackleberry Feb 2021 3:54pm, 12 Feb 2021 1,978 posts	Quote Pin cackleberry Limegreenjelly that time of day is totally alien to me. The odd time I have run really early, it's clunky and stiff legged and horrible. BUT I do have a warm feeling of smug satisfaction for the rest of the day. Sorting the head out is one of the reason why the streak keeps winning
Garfield Feb 2021 3:54pm, 12 Feb 2021 15,135 posts	Quote Pin Garfield Wow, the only time I do that is in the summer...I need daylight to wake easily.
Fragile Do Not Bend Feb 2021 6:01pm, 12 Feb 2021 7,889 posts	Quote Pin Fragile Do Not Bend No way would I go running that early, well not whilst it’s dark anyway. I might if I lived somewhere with street lights but I don’t like running solely by torchlight.
cackleberry Feb 2021 6:17pm, 12 Feb 2021 1,979 posts	Quote Pin cackleberry Love my headtorch runs Fragile, but at the same time sooooo ready for long sunny evenings. The first non-headtorch headtorch run of the season is always special.

You only need to run on the days you eat!
However if you are fasting for any reason you still need to run!
