May and June runs

[Jay66UK]

I don’t want to spam the other forum but I’ve found a better summary on my running app that just does the running segments of my outings. I’m massively chuffed with that improvement.

So much so that I am rethinking my B210k plans a little. I might aim to reach 10k before 25th September. That would be Couch to 10k inside 6 months.

(Gremlins go off and listen to Green Day, “Wake me up when September ends”!!)

That’s great Jay, I’m starting my B210K journey this coming week. 😳 I’ve had another look at Ju-Ju’s plan and I can just about get to 10K on my 55th birthday on 22 August 🎂🍾🥂 What a birthday present to myself 😀👍 When I started C25K my goal was just 5K by then, but we’re all allowed to change our targets! 😂

Good luck with it all, I’m sure with the support we get on here we can make it! 😊

Good luck with that - great incentive. I’ll follow you about a month later if all goes well.

[David_G in reply to Jay66UK]

Cheers mate. Keep posting 😀

Which running app is that Jay?

[Jay66UK Graduate10 in reply to _SimonT_]

iPhone built in one.

[_SimonT_ in reply to Jay66UK]

Is it in the health app? I can’t seem to find it. Is it on a newer iPhone? Mines a 6s

[Jay66UK Graduate10 in reply to _SimonT_]

It’s called Activity and it has coloured rings as its icon.

The difference in your average pace is impressive. 😎 You gotta be happy with that. It's great.

[Jay66UK Graduate10 in reply to Goforitmama]

Amazed more than anything. I know it is not a huge difference in the grand scheme, and actually very slow for 4k/5k runs, but it’s fantastic speed for me.

[Goforitmama Graduate10 in reply to Jay66UK]

Your distance and pace will get even better. It's just going to take mileage. You know it can be done. 😎

[Tjar]

That sounds doable, doesn’t it? I mean, I’ll be doing C25K within 3 months, and hope to succeed at a 10k journey as well (since entering a marathon ballot, I kinda sorta have to at one point in time 😱😁). Looking forward reading about your journey Jay!

[Jay66UK Graduate10 in reply to Tjar]

Sounds doable. But I’m not fit. I’m going to try.

[Tjar in reply to Jay66UK]

Not fit either, still struggle with more than two flights of stairs. 😂 Trying too. It beats not trying! 💪🏻

[Jay66UK Graduate10 in reply to Tjar]

Agreed!

[SandieF]

Found it, thanks Jay. _SimonT_ I have the iPhone 6s too. The app is linked to the Apple Watch, I’ve no idea if it works with just the phone 🤷‍♀️ I can’t believe I ran over 44k this month! 😂

You carry on like this Jay and I believe you could easily reach 10k by September. 👍👏

[Jay66UK Graduate10 in reply to SandieF]

September 25th is my new aim. Couch to 10k in 6 months. Wouldn’t be bad for a fat bloke.

[SandieF in reply to Jay66UK]

Stop saying that! *wags finger*. You are a fit, healthy, running machine bloke! And I have every faith you will do it 💪

[Jay66UK Graduate10 in reply to SandieF]

Yes, ma’am. Sorry, ma’am.

[SandieF in reply to Jay66UK]

That’s alright. Just don’t let it happen again 😂

[Jay66UK Graduate10 in reply to SandieF]

It’s never happened before. 😳

🤣🤣🤣
