W4R3 of Ju-Ju’s plan: 8k done

[BethMay]

Wow it's warm out there! Up and out by 8:15 but should have gone earlier. Really pleased to have completed it though and got a PR for the 5k element of it, as well as a number of PRs for Strava segments along the way. Still loving my running and hope everyone is taking care in this heat xxx

You, my love, are like a silent but deadly U-Boat, that suddenly pops up and shouts "Surprise, I've cracked it!!" with barely any murmur beforehand.

Well done!! 8K and no fuss. Just went out and did it. You should feel super chuffed xx

Cheers me dear. That’s a comparison I’ve not heard before but I’ll take it 🤣🤣🤣xx

My fingers occasionally just type things and by-pass my brain. What is it with you current crop of B210Kers? You get to around W4 and suddenly everyone does 10K? You're superhumans!!

Yay brilliant Beth - so close to the magic 10 💥!! Pb’s too?? You are a ⭐️ 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😬 xx

[BethMay in reply to Ripcurlrana71]

Thanks Rip. Couldn’t have kept going the way you did!! You’ve smashed 10k already 💪🏻There are a couple of nasty inclines close to home (that’s what comes of living in the Welsh Valleys) and they get me every time!! But I’m determined to get to 10k in a few weeks - I just need to go further on the outward leg- once I hit the incline it’s as much as I can do to stagger home 🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️

[Ripcurlrana71 Graduate10 in reply to BethMay]

You’re more hardcore than me - mines pretty flat. 10K is a long run... you hit 5k and you’ve only done half! I found once I past 6 the positivity came back as you’re on the down hill - so to speak. 😬 xx

oh wow! Well done - just did mine but I knew I had to go much slower to make sure I got to the end, so my personal record was slowest 5K today! You'll hit that 10K in no time!

Fantastic Beth, and very much agree with the “silent u-boat” comparison, where did that run come from! You are going to smash the Cardiff 10k. Very well done indeed.

And if you are using Strava, feel free to hook up with me/others that are in our sort of “virtual running club” 😄

[BethMay in reply to HoagyM]

Thanks Hoagy- and thanks for the Strava invite 😊. Happy running 🏃‍♂️ xx

Congratulations Beth, what an achievement. 😀

I’m just starting out on my B210K journey. Completed week 1 last week but can’t even contemplate doing anywhere near 8K yet. 😳

Hopefully it’ll all come together over the next few weeks. 🙂 I’ll just put my trust in JuJu and her wonderful plan. It’s been good to me so far so no reason to think that won’t continue 👍

Happy running 🏃‍♀️😊

[BethMay]

It’s surprising how quickly the distances build up David- just like the C25k programme itself. Just take it steady and enjoy your running 😊There’s no pressure!
