10k number 3 done

[Tasha99]

5k along the beach into a head wind was tough but made the return a bit easier. Wore my geeky, new visor. Was a bit self conscious about that at first but then decided I don’t care as, if it helps me through the pain in anyway, I’ll take it! 4 mins off my previous 10k, but it was a flatter route. 1h:10m:30s. Not bad. Especially as I only started c25k 4 months ago yesterday. 😊

[lagatachocolate]

Excellent! Well done my friend. What visor?

[Tasha99 Graduate10 in reply to lagatachocolate]

2XU Run Visor on Amazon 😳😂

[lagatachocolate in reply to Tasha99]

I bought a Buff one recently; not used it yet though 😂

[Tasha99 Graduate10 in reply to lagatachocolate]

I feel runners can get away with wearing odd things somehow 😂 visor power 😂

[lagatachocolate in reply to Tasha99]

Agreed, although I think your visor peak is bigger than mine 😢🤣

[misswobble Graduate10 in reply to lagatachocolate]

Watch the Buff ways to wear video It’s a versatile piece of kit

I wear mine folded like an Alice band to hold my earphones in place 🙂

[Tasha99 Graduate10 in reply to misswobble]

Ooh that’s a good idea but I wonder if they’d be hot when rolled up so much?

[misswobble Graduate10 in reply to Tasha99]

Not that I’ve noticed. They are made for runners from technical fabrics. I have had mine ages and wear it always hot or cold 🙂

[Sarakc Graduate10]

Very well done!

I’m sure your visor looked absolutely fine! I’m very self conscious too before I go out but once I’m running I feel on top of the world!

I’ll wear my visor if it’s sunny on Thursday for my run! 😀

[Tasha99 Graduate10 in reply to Sarakc]

Do it, do it, do it 😂

[awaw]

Wow that’s amazing progress. Well done!

[Tasha99 Graduate10 in reply to awaw]

Thank you!

[Jullaly]

I'm loving all this running fashion advice .. brilliant. Love your picture too, it looks gorgeous

[Tasha99 Graduate10 in reply to Jullaly]

Thanks! Whatever helps IMO

[Macmac Graduate10]

Brilliant running - and a lovely photo too. Sunset looks great! 🙂

[Tasha99 Graduate10 in reply to Macmac]

Thank you. Getting there slowly but surely!

[mergirl101]

Well done! You are a machine! I always wear a cap but don't know how that compares? I will check out your visor 😊

[Tasha99 Graduate10 in reply to mergirl101]

I’ve heard a cap can make you hotter than a visor, but then you don’t get protection on the top of your head so much. 6 and 2 3s I guess 🤷🏽‍♀️

[mergirl101 in reply to Tasha99]

6 and 2 3s? What happened to 6 and half a dozen 😆 yes sun protection is paramount here and I absolutely hate raindrops falling on my head! 😱🌧️🏃‍♀️

[Tasha99 Graduate10 in reply to mergirl101]

😂 I forgot about that way around. Maybe 6 and 2 3s is some weird ‘Boro’ism 😳

[mergirl101 in reply to Tasha99]

Maybe you young ones don't know what a dozen is😮😆

[Dexy5 Graduate10 in reply to Tasha99]

6 and 2 3s down south too

[Tasha99 Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

😂

[Elfe5 60minGraduate in reply to Tasha99]

NE - I say that too! I like the idea of a visor! 😃

[Tasha99 Graduate10 in reply to Elfe5]

💪🏽

[lagatachocolate in reply to Tasha99]

6 and 2 3s or 6 of one half a dozen of the other down south! :o)

mergirl101 , how are you?

Tasha99 , how is your holiday?

[Tasha99 Graduate10 in reply to lagatachocolate]

Lovely thanks! Actually managed 5k on the treadmill before breakfast 💪🏽 Hope you’re ok too Xx

[Dexy5 Graduate10]

That’s amazing Tasha. Yes I get to run along a nice flat prom but the breeze can make such a difference. For the great south run the breeze is usually against you on the homeward run. I don’t aspire to 10k but have the greatest respect for those that can. 💨🌊

[Tasha99 Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

Thank you!

[ruckinfight]

Well done Tasha

Love the photo 😊👍👍

[Tasha99 Graduate10 in reply to ruckinfight]

Thanks 🤗 Not bad for taking it whilst running 😂

[Nwrkpak Graduate10]

Wow. You 're doing so well. The route looks fab. What is not to love about a great route , a great distance and a great time. Well done .

( I'm only a tad jealous)

[Tasha99 Graduate10 in reply to Nwrkpak]

Thank you but it all feels like such hard work! I’m so not a natural runner!

[Nwrkpak Graduate10 in reply to Tasha99]

Well you seem to be smashing it xx

[jcborden]

Fantastic improvement in your time, well done! Looks like a lovely route too

[Tasha99 Graduate10 in reply to jcborden]

Thank you!

[misswobble Graduate10]

Yeah who cares when you’re badass 💪😃👍

Well done 👍

[Tasha99 Graduate10 in reply to misswobble]

[Hidden]

Lovely pic and gawd you aint arf fast!!! Re the visor, runners are invisible to the general population (who are all wearing peaked caps and visors in the sun round here anyway). xx

[Tasha99 Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

I think you could be right about that! Feeling a bit down today after my colleague sprinted passed my despite her not having run for years 🤷🏽‍♀️ How are people such naturals?!

[Hidden in reply to Tasha99]

Ah, we’re all naturals, just all naturally different types of runners. Im not very fast, but I very rarely have to walk up a hill or walk during a run, only if Im really tired or sleep deprived, but people a lot faster than me do have to stop or walk from time to time. Though, on the other hand of course,there are people who can run fast AND continuously. Your colleague is probably a short distance sprinter but wouldnt do so well over distance.

[Tasha99 Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Maybe. It’s so frustrating sometimes with the effort we’re all putting in! 😂

[Hidden in reply to Tasha99]

Ive given up worrying.i wasnt fast when I was a teenager, im certainly not going to ever be fast now 🤨
