My milage has dropped a fair bit recently with my eldest starting school and our routine being upended. Each run is feeling harder but I keep telling myself that there is no optimum routine any more and if I miss the ‘best’ time to run, that just means I need to look for the ‘next best’ time… Crammed a 5k into my lunch break yesterday and I am proud of myself.

If you listen to podcasts I recommend S2E1 of ‘How Other Dad’s Dad with Hamish Blake’ Joe Brumm, the creator of bluey, is a guest.

I also recommend the podcast generally also.
