Welcome to week 5 of 10 is the magic number. How are you all doing? Itβs been a difficult time of year to focus on a running programme so huge well done if you are still with us!!
So this week the runs are:
4K
5k
9k
You are so close now.... this week think about how to approach the longer runs. These are some of the things Iβve done that have helped:
Chunk the run into the landmarks and feel a great sense of achievement when you reach them.
Write your run down on paper and take it with you to tear off achievements. When I was training for my marathon I wrote down each milestone and tore it off ( 3,6,12,15,18,21 miles). These were my fuel stops also and I bit a hole into each when Iβd done it.
Counting. I do this on hills..... so I count to 100 in sets of 25. 200 is half a mile for me.... it just takes the mind away for a bit.
I listen to music, but others suggest talking books are good. I keep meaning to try this out!!
Here is the vid:
Have a great week... nearly there now,

Ha-ha - ju-ju- ! I am soo far behind. But I will have done 13.1k in total in the month of December - in spite of a bad back which stopped me completely for a while (now fixed), some caring commitments, young and old, and epic storms. So, Iβm happy and cheering all you others on. Thanks for the idea ju!
So glad your back is fixed. Onwards and upwards eh π
