Cheers John. Great video.
Without question, the most important piece of kit for aiding motivation and mapping progress is the running watch. I’d be lost without it. Parkrun was also a huge help during my early running days but not so much lately due to the well documented ‘politics’.

[@tworunningbrooms]

Yes it might help some newer runners but alienates a lot of its long standing advocates.

Excellent list, John. I think I tried to find the Ron Hill books after you mentioned then previously. They're not in my price range at the moment!
I do watch Run Elite videos, and he speaks a lot of sense.

[@tworunningbrooms]

Are you moving towards a raw plant diet? In fact you could try eating your way through all that undergrowth you had on that trail run. Kill two birds with one stone.

@@tworunningbrooms 😂 I actually almost mentioned his... unusual diet choices, in my initial comment. I didn't want to sound negative though, as his running advice seems good, and he explains things really clearly. Perhaps I'll try a nettle tea one day. Dip my toe in the water.

Great upload. TQ. Great to hear you like Bob Dylan, an acquired taste.

[@tworunningbrooms]

Love his music. First saw him live in 1987 and haven't looked back.

I was waiting for club membership to come up, although I guess there's some similarities with parkrun.

[@tworunningbrooms]

Yes I did think about that one later. I guess club membership was hugely important in the early days. I guess more recently going alternative 1st Claim for track and doing the relay for my 1st Claim club still shows the importance of a club continues.
Got the obligatory Ron Hill reference though 😉

Motivation is a myth? 🤪

[@tworunningbrooms]

It's fleeting and transitory. Habit and identity underpin success. Unless the motivation is to repeat the habit 😉
