Up sharp and running by 0600 on Roseabi’s Speed challenge.
It has been magic, just like everything else to do with running and this forum.
My chosen route/circuit/ is 4x1.2k + 200m Mobot finish🙈😂.
The grandsprockets have been visiting and returning to London on this morning’s train into Euston.So had to get back to taxi them all to the station, two runs, do not have four baby seats available here at present.
As I did each circuit I thought of each of them in turn, who they are now and what they may do with their lives.
They were with me, one at a time and each circuit in turn, I guess I will call each circuit, James, Lewis, Isabelle and Myles.They range from nearly 2- nearly 5.
So it is my JLIM Woodland Coastal Park Circuit on Holy Island.
My grandchildren got me around alright and handed to me my first ever sub 40 min 5k.
I do hope they will find the gift of running, and it takes its place in their lives as it does now in mine.
Of course it is everyone’s personal choice and certainly that is part of the magic also.Finding it for yourself.🌟
There can never be an end to thank you’s to this running forum and never an end to the enjoyment of running.
Got to believe this is magic.
So many light bulb moments on C25k, Bridge to10K and Marathon Speed Challenge.
There will never be an end to the continuous improvement and joy either.
Relax, Start Positive, Stay Positive and Enjoy.💥💫🏃♀️🏃♂️💫💥

Oh my what a heartwarming post. 😍 Loved reading it and so pleased it gave you a PB - how rewarding for you!
I agree with the joy of running - wish I’d found it sooner. But not sure I would have enjoyed it as much without all you beautiful souls on this forum. xx
Oh, what a lovely post Tbae ...your grandchildren are so lucky to have such a lovely, caring Grandad...who’s enjoying his passion for running & passing it on to them, and everyone on here...it’s lovely to read your posts, your enthusiasm shines through I look forward to hearing from you...you are such an inspiration on here...thank you x
I hope you are good and able to arrange your busy schedule and your responsibilities to keep pursuing your running dreams Bev.🌟
Your amazing journey and kindness and the challenges you have overcome to arrive to this point is truly remarkable.💥
I would die for your pace and now your distance.🌟👏👏
Perhaps I may rethink my present plan and repeat 10 the magic number 10K plan and delay my HM plan by 8 weeks.In other words a further 12 weeks on JuJu’s plan.🤔 I have had a lovely diversion on the speed challenge.👍
Children and grandchildren are such a blessing and running is such a gift also.💥
Take good care of you.💫🏃♀️💫
Come on England.👍👏👏🏆
Bless you for introducing us to the grandchildren. Fantastic to hear they got you your first sub-40, must've been the extra enthusiasm they've brought with them!
After a few hours in the dark room, you'll miss them 😆
I wonder if you'll share "Roseabi's Speed Challenge". I've never heard of it before and am intrigued.
I did Laura's Speed podcast tonight. No idea how it went, speed-wise, Strava broke so I had to rely on my OH's stats but he did the same distance, not the same podcast.
Joined the Magic 10 bus just recently after tentatively running alongside for a bit 😀 My OH is determined not to increase so I've decided to squeeze a long run in on my own to enjoy both the training plan and his company.
Had a quick squint over the hedge to Marathon, looks good. Will probably start lurking...🤫
It's great to hear your journey and that this programme really is for anyone at any stage in their life and fitness. That's an amazing feat.
