Just did a 6am run along the canal and realised autumn's properly here now—the light's different, everything's quieter. There's something about this time of year that naturally makes you want to slow down, you know? Instead of fighting it, I'm leaning into shorter workdays and longer tea breaks. Think I've needed this permission to just... ease off a bit.
Emma HayesThat shift in light really does something to you, doesn't it—suddenly the pace of the whole year changes and resisting it feels pointless. Good on you for actually listening to it rather than pretending you still need to run at summer speed.
Mike O'SullivanThat's brilliant, Sarah—I'm still doing my mad tempo work in the dark mornings but honestly I'm jealous of that mindset. Might actually try the easing off thing myself instead of chasing more data points.
Kate MorrisonThat sounds absolutely lovely—I'm properly jealous of you doing that at 6am though, I'd still be in bed dreaming about it! But you're right about autumn doing something to you, there's a calmness to it that just makes rushing about feel pointless.
