Magic 10 Plan and Speed Challenge.

[Tbae]

Just completed week 1 of JuJu’s plan and in week 3 of Roseabi’s challenge.

7 more weeks of magic 10 and one and half more weeks of magic speed.

Big respect to the Admins and the forum for all the hard work, experience, knowledge, expertise, enjoyment and fun provided.

It’s just the best.

I did my week 1 three runs, Friday, Sunday and Tuesday.

2.5k, 10K and 5k.

Did 2.5k with Laura’s speed podcast and 6 intervals 8/9 round a 300m football field.

Did 10K long easy run in the Woodland Park. 4x2.2 +1x1.2 loops.Used stepping stones podcast repeated 4 times. lol.

Did 5k as Roseabi’s challenge, 4x1.2k + 200m with speed podcast and 14 intervals.Strava showing it as a PB by a midgen.lol.

I think for the first time ever I feel I can make progress with this running malarkey.

So many opportunities made transparent by this forum.

I think this dinasaur is about to break out of its shell.

Going to have to contain myself in taking time to do the training and trial all the opportunities.

Build pace with time.

For the first time I can see this possible.

Keep running because we can.

Keep enjoying this amazing gift to ourselves.

Sounds like it is all coming together well. Well done for running round that field so much without getting dizzy

I feel I also need to apply some order and planning to my running as well as it's at risk of becoming too random although other people see that as the "pink method" lol. Hopefully if I train for a Marathon I can get some of that structured goodness I see other people getting on the Asics etc plans.

Thanks Michael.

Yes 17 times for a 5k. lol.

Oh and counting 1234 for 12.6k lol.

Mad as a hatter but a very happy one.

Will never forget your words and much more, cryptic as it may sound , to run faster you must first run fast.

Hope that’s verbatim.

I think the body is so clever at wishing to perfect a particular modus operandi , that I have found it difficult to break loose.

If any of that makes sense.

Also JuJu’s original mantra made me think and of course much more on this forum,

Push that body Punish that body,

I think of course, abide by the proven, tried and tested wisdom, and I have no desire to send me to the IC, not going to happen through stupidity, but I need to push sensibly.

Sorry Michael, just an excited novice that just loves this running malarkey.

Take care of that shoulder.

Often watched the running people in our gym, doing their pull ups and floor, kind of moving plank extensions, using a bar and weight on each end like an axle and two wheels.Considerable reps.

Atb to you with your plans.

You are a fine runner with a great attitude, Tbae! I watch your journey with interest and awe. x

[Tbae in reply to Sadie-runs]

Your very kind Sadie.

I am just an excited novice and dinasaur who thinks he can break out of his egg.

I think I have eaten the emoj’s, hey ho, do not know where they have gone.

At least I have never had a playlist to eat or lose.lol.

Love music, need to apply the SWC and Did from our Panther leader.

Keep shining the light, terror team and MC.

Well done Tbae, sounds great! 👏👏👏

I just did the stamina podcast for my 5.5k run, really liked it 😎👌

(I found your emojis 😂😉)

[Tbae in reply to JennyH10]

That’s funny, ha ha.

Great Jenny,I love, you’ve got that feeling.

When Laura gets you up to 165 bpm?,On stamina podcast, the audio fuel beat goes haywire.

I cannot blame the goddess Laura.

Never.

Actually I think she is even correct with her breathing advice in the speed podcast.

Apart from many obvious things,including abdominal breathing,

I thought about another reason / link/ fact today,

When she has you at 165 bpm, she asks you to breathe gently/quietly/ calmly/naturally through your nose,elite 100 m runners hardly breathe during the event , certainly calmly / no panic, and at their interview after they are gasping.

Bit like the advice lifeguards give to bathers if they get caught out of their depth in cold water.Vigorous breathing can lead to panic and fight or flight type behaviour and unfortunately loss of life.

Sorry about that, no question there are many breathing methods and each have there place in running,I believe they are all to be used for given situations and gears.

Also read with interest that 180 bpm is the place to be to get your heels shooting out the rear.

I cannot wait, but sometime off yet.

Take care of you.

[ju-ju- Graduate10]

Wow, Tbae you are on fire!!! And I see that you are still eating all of your Emoji's !! Well done you on all of your amazing achievements

[Tbae in reply to ju-ju-]

I cannot say boom, yet, unlike you.

The fire has been started by the Admins and this forum.

Yes I have to keep stoking the boiler with the new energy efficient fuel, emoji’s lol., and all the knowledge, experience and support here.

I am just a panther cub following our magic 10 leader and the example of all on this forum.

Occasionally I contribute something.

Run like we did when we were children.UNINHIBITED.

The power resides within us all and we have all been blessed with this gift.

It is not where we start but where we finish.

Keep lighting the fires Panther leader.Its someone else’s job to extinguish that fire and emoji’s do not cost much.lol.
