JuJu’s plan W2R1

[David_G]

Hi all, just finished my first run of week 2. I managed 6K in 42:00 exactly so 7:00 per K on average. I’m quite pleased with that in this heat and humidity. 😀👍

One day I’ll work out how to upload from Strava etc to here and start posting pictures! 😉😊

Next step is an unofficial Parkrun of 5K at work at lunchtime on Wednesday - we’ve got marshals and timekeepers so it’ll count towards my weekly target, then I’ll just need a short run of 3K later in the week to meet my quota. Since when did I start thinking of 3K as “a short run”? 🤔😂🤣

Take care if you’re out running this evening. It’s deceptively warm out there.

Enjoy your running everyone 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️. Keep hydrated, and make your runs slow and steady 😇😇

[David_G in reply to Ripcurlrana71]

Thanks! I was pleased with it in the circumstances. 🙂

[Ripcurlrana71 Graduate10 in reply to David_G]

A few of us are on Strava too - you must follow us. 😊

[David_G in reply to Ripcurlrana71]

Hi, thanks for that. I’ve followed you on Strava, an also found Sallenson and Sutsha and JuJu too and sent follow requests. 😀

[Ripcurlrana71 Graduate10 in reply to David_G]

Great! Welcome to the gang. 😊

[sallenson Graduate10 in reply to Ripcurlrana71]

Gang? Elite running squad surely? Xx

[Ripcurlrana71 Graduate10 in reply to sallenson]

Didn’t want to scare David_G off! 😊

[sallenson Graduate10 in reply to Ripcurlrana71]

David's not scared!! He is runner!!

[David_G in reply to Ripcurlrana71]

Ha ha 😂 I don’t scare easy! We’re all friends in our happy little gang! 😀👍🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

[Ripcurlrana71 Graduate10 in reply to David_G]

Yes we are! 🤗

Does anyone else get Strava requests from people they've never heard of? Happened to me a couple of times. Wish people would PM first if they're not obviously known...

[Ripcurlrana71 Graduate10 in reply to sallenson]

Yep me! I check who they follow/followers. If they have other C25kers on there i let them. Think you can set it as private.

[ju-ju- Graduate10 in reply to sallenson]

I have alot of followers and follow people I dont know on Strava. I always vet them and you cant PM on Strava so thats tricky. I treat it more like SM.

Me too, Steve Kendrick

[David_G in reply to Berksrover]

Thanks, I’ve sent you a request

Well done... slow and steady works.... getting faster only seems important to to me if you are a) in a race or b) running away from a wild animal

The enjoyment of the run and seeing everything around that run is what matters to me...

You are doing wonderfully... and enjoying it.... which is surely the point of it all

Wow that’s amazing pace!! Congratulations!

[David_G in reply to das_vikas]

Thanks! 😀

Hey David, well done on tonight's run! This forum is limited so the only way to share your Strava stats is to screenshot the Strava app. Then when you post you just add photo. Hope that helps! #kudos 😉

[David_G in reply to Hidden]

Ah, yes that helps a lot. Thanks 👍

[ju-ju- Graduate10]

Well done... if you wanted to post a pic of strava you could do a screenshot on your phone and then post that as a piccy on here?
