Continuing to build my foundations (for the bridge to 10k) and this time I had some encouragement! Being chased by a pony.

Great run today - continued using the Laura C25k+ podcasts, but had some assistance from an enthusiastic Pony and Daughter trotting along behind me. Interesting the 150bpm, just a bit slower than his trotting speed, 155bpm, pretty much spot on, and 160 a little faster, but he made sure didn't stop, by coming up behind me and either trying to nibble my fluorescent top, or give me a nudge to hurry up. Good Day!

What a great training partner!

I know - and I also now know - what the literal meaning of "I'm breathing down your neck" feels like.

I used to run with my daughter and her little pony, they make great training partners! She was only 12:2 though not sure I could keep up with yours she looks bigger?

[RunForestR in reply to Sandyw]

My Daughter is only 12 - but already very tall and the pony is 14hh, and very eager since he had a back operation last year - interestingly we had to put him on an equivalent pony version of the C25K programme to get him back to full fitness, which after 12 months he pretty much is.

Sounds like a fun family run 🏃🏽🐎

really made me concentrate on my foot placement tho' didn't want to trip and fall and have the pony run me over.

Haha, no kidding. It would derail all your hard work. Keep enjoying the family time - I'm glad you guys have found a way to enjoy your respective sports together. So fun!
