Consequitive Runs. Plans and Progress.

[Tbae]

Early days, but now have completed five days of short runs, max 3k, and if I include my woodland workout this morning , that is 6 on the bounce.

So far so good.Missing out on my gym strength sessions though, but got the garden to contend with.

Must say I do feel and am aware of my core and back weaknesses.No pain just wish I was stronger and know I could and should be.

But I am pleased if I can continue with cranking up slowly this plan.

When I get caught up with the garden will begin to increase on alternative days towards 7x5k per week.

Then review that later.

New class starts 10/08/18 and within the 20-35k weekly I will do 20% of that on hill repeats and 30:20:10 intervals.

Atb to everyone and your training and enjoyment.

We are here to help each other and see everyone achieve what they want to and that’s what runners do.💥🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️💥

Good post from you Tbae, I notice the word 'Graduate 10' and in some cases 'half-marathon' on the right-hand side of your name, absolutely excellent that you have ran those two runs. So it's back to the short runs once again and quite rightly so, in this warm weather no one wants to run much further, hopefully, if the weather forecast is correct, we are about to see the back of this heatwave. I don't have gym strength sessions although the push-ups, sit-ups, planks, kettle-bell exercises and yoga sessions I do at home could be sort of counted as "gym sessions". I have a garden but it's mostly just grass and I cut that once every two weeks. I noticed in one of your posts that you have a large hedge and hope to cut that between runs, no hurry for that.

I will be back in the dog house Alan if this 200 yds of hedge does not get cut.🤔🙈😂😂

Hope you are making good progress with your hip.💥🏃‍♂️💥👏👏

I have a cat, by the way, Tbae, black clouds in the distance and I have looked at the rain radar chart that the rain could get to where I live by 12 mid-night. Tomorrow morning I'll do a few gentle 3-minute runs with some walking breaks and see how my hip is afterwards. It is slowly getting better, however, If I tried to get to the pace of my graduation run and especially the first post-graduation run I think my hip would get sore again, slow and steady as they say here on C25K, it's not really too bad except when I try to run fast.

Have you thought about doing a kettlebells class once a week to build up your core strength? Since I’ve been doing it I’ve had fewer back problems. There are quite a few distance runners in my class who do it to build up their core.

Thanks Dave.

I need to look into that out of interest.

It’s time for me at present.

Normally I am OK.I have had a gym strength regime established for some years now , but between hedge cutting and running everyday, missing out on gym and I am hoping that I will strengthen further anyway.

I am just a novice runner at 75.🙈😂.Time permitting always up

for improvements.👍👏👏

Thanks for the tip.

Go you.💥🏃‍♂️💥

Yes looked at six of the best.Going to pursue this.Always known free weights are superior than individual muscle exercise on resistance machines.🤔👏👏👍

Thanks Dave.👍

Well done you, yes the strength work will help give your body longevity.... done forget in these early days to have at least 1 week in 3 doing half of what you normally do, or thereabouts. This will then give you the rest you need to keep going.... I hope the hedge miles are going well too?

Good advice.👏👏🌟

Windy and 🌧.

Get my run tonight.👍

Sorry cannot join your 3 challenges.
