10k number 3 done

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. 😊

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 😢🤣

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 🙂

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

misswobbleGraduate10 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 🙂

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! 😀

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 profile image
Tasha99Graduate10 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 🤷🏽‍♀️

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! 😱🌧️🏃‍♀️

Tasha99Graduate10 in reply to mergirl101

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

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

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. 💨🌊

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

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?!

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.

Tasha99Graduate10 in reply to

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

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 🤨
