A bit of a cheat but 12k

[JoolieB1]

I managed to cover 12k today, first 5 just running and then run-walk but I was pleased with the distance, slow but sure getting there

[Lavender1962 Graduate10]

Wow, that's a great distance. 😊

Only managed it by doing some way breaks but still happy!

[Mat30 Graduate10]

Great work as always JoolieB1

Keep going out and see how it goes but want to run further than 5k once a week so it's a start!!

[Noaky12 Graduate10]

Brilliant. Well done but not sure why you think it was a cheat?. Walking breaks are allowed ☺

Great stuff Joolie.

When I did C25K, I was happy to ditch the walking and then I just refused to walk at all for many weeks. A sore calf did force me to reintroduce walk breaks so I am working my way back to where I was!

Well done Joolie...phew thats quite far you know...😊no wonder you look pleased.x

[JoolieB1 Graduate10 in reply to Bluebirdrunner]

I know, the 5k was plodding but ok. Finding that if I have a slow pace I can keep going. Walk breaks are pretty refreshing and then when I run again, I have a spring in my step again. One way to increase distance or avoid injury. Spent most of the afternoon resting my legs with the electric blanket on LOL

12K is 12K and you did it! Well done Joolie 😊

[davelinks Graduate10]

Well done!

[JaySeeSkinny Graduate10]

Well done! 12k is a long way - and walk breaks are definitely not cheating!

[poppypug Graduate10]

Well done Joolie !

Nothing wrong with walking breaks at all ! xxx

Joolie- sounds a right good plan to me - well done! I've had a bit of a hard time in the run up to my first half marathon in 2 weeks (sore ankle/sore hip/sore ankle/marathon night walk - sore ankle again!). I so want to do this half and think run walk may be the way to ensure I finish.. How do you decide how long your run/walk intervals are please?

That's a great distance, well done Joolie!

As they say, a slow 12k is as far as a fast 12k! Brilliant run JoolieB1
