Week 2 of the '10 is the Magic Number' 10K Plan 🤗

[roseabi]

Hi all you Magic Numbers!!

Here we are at the start of the second week of the 10 is the Magic Number 10K plan!!! I hope you are all enjoying it so far 😊This week you will be running 3K, 5K, and 6K!!!

As you may have noticed, I'm giving ju-ju- a hand this time, and today she has left for a week of much-deserved holiday, so here I am! I'm afraid I'm not yet brave enough to make a Ju-Ju style video (I don't know how she does it!!?), but I thought this one she made last time would be useful:

youtu.be/0GnpE54LVKs(Not working as expected?)

I like it particularly because she talks about motivation, and we just this week had the poll about that! I was very moved by some of the stories that were shared - go and have a read through if you haven't already:

Don't forget that in the 10 is the Magic Number plan you can do the weekly runs in any order, and join in at any time!

Hey you...

3K done yesterday... slow, steady, satisfying...5 K Sunday... Welsh weather permitting !

Had the all clear from the Consultant yesterday... and typically an email saying there are likely to be spare places for the Tissington Half Marathon...( I was on the reserves list). I had to e mail back saying I will not be ready this year... but.. there is always next

Just so happy to be running again.

Happy and healthy running this week folks..!

[Hidden in reply to Oldfloss]

That's wonderful news Oldfloss. I'm so glad you are back at running and it's steady and satisfying. Lots of HM's to do and lots of time to do them in. Enjoy

[DebJogsOn in reply to Oldfloss]

Woohoo! Wonderful news Oldfloss. Enjoy 😁

[LoungeLizaard Graduate10 in reply to Oldfloss]

Great news!! Welcome back xx

[roseabi in reply to Oldfloss]

[Eiralas in reply to Oldfloss]

Fantastic news! Glad you're back out there, and I hope the Welsh weather is kind to you 😀

[Myrar in reply to Oldfloss]

Great news floss ..So happy for you ..Happy safe running 😊😊

I'll be resitting week 5 this week ….. did a Parkrun volunteering stint instead of running on Saturday, so with relatives visiting Mon-Thu was going to take a full week off, but when Monday afternoon saw us off to a nature reserve which just happens to have a handy 4k loop, I decided at short notice to do the W5 long run (8k). But at 4.5k something grabbed my left calf - I thought at first it was just cramp, but when it was still there after a couple of miles walk and a shower, I knew it had to be muscular. Maybe the result of a stumble on the roughish track, though I don't remember one? 4 days later, it's still a bit stiff, though I managed 3.5k alongside Dexy5 yesterday and intend to Parkrun at her pace tomorrow. Then we'll see where we go from there ….. those weeks in hand may come in handy

[roseabi in reply to UpTheStanley]

Ouch! I'm sure you'll be fine though!!

[telford_mike Graduate10]

Week 6 starting on Monday. 9k! Ooo-err. 😬

[roseabi in reply to telford_mike]

Go Mike!

[Equi-geek Graduate10 in reply to telford_mike]

Good luck tomorrow Mike 👏👏

[telford_mike Graduate10 in reply to Equi-geek]

Thanks. I have a feeling I'm going to need it 😵

[Hidden]

My plan for tomorrow is 8.5km although I've chosen a run that is probably a 10km loop. I reckon with a longish warm up and cool down, I'll do a slow run. I've eaten a huge dinner tonight so it may be possible that I won't be able to move tomorrow morning at all...

[roseabi in reply to Hidden]

How did it go?

[Hidden in reply to roseabi]

Slow because it was very hilly with lots of tree roots and stones. It was In a forest with lots of paths so I got lost and had to stop. I did it even though it took me an hour. I’ll try somewhere flat for my 9km next week 😃

[roseabi in reply to Hidden]

Well done, great stuff!!

[Tbae]

Love your numbers in the sky Abi and Julia’s determination.

Go the panther cubs.💥🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🐆💥

[roseabi in reply to Tbae]

💥💥💥!!!!

[icklegui]

Finally finished week 7 from the last round! No pressure to stick to the weeks here and most importantly I'm still running! Hoping for 5K tomorrow, and then ... maybe the big 10 on Monday?

[roseabi in reply to icklegui]

Well done, how did it go?, and good luck!!! 😊

[icklegui in reply to roseabi]

erk! It didn't - I just did my 5K today. Slippage! Good run though, I decided to really attempt to up my speed as I was pretty sure I could manage over the 5K to start a wee bit faster. Managed a pb but was expectedly tired by the 4th K! Slow for the next one

[Agelesslass Graduate10]

I’m doing 7 mile runs now but can I add my name to this list for motivation to continue please? Thanks

[roseabi in reply to Agelesslass]

Sure! Adding you now 😊

[ju-ju- Graduate10]

I do hope you are all enjoying the plan, I’m about to do a hello from Tossa!!! Xxx

[Empem Graduate10 in reply to ju-ju-]

There are a few if those around!

[Empem Graduate10]

Yay ...I'm on it....thanks for the encouragement. Have fun everyone.

[Crawlhome Graduate10]

Ive not been able to run for a week due to an old knee pain re-emerging. I'm booked to see physio this week but I'm going to try and run tomorrow without pushing myself. I will get to 10k, it just may take a little longer!

Annoyingly I got injured just when I was starting to really enjoy it😥

[roseabi in reply to Crawlhome]

Sorry you're having pain, take it easy! You'll get there!! 😊

[Pippatong]

I’m having to do week three again. My ankle was really sore after doing it the first time. I left a week to recover and have been doing calf strength exercises and lots of walking. So now I’ve one long run left of week three. I plan 7km on Tuesday. Fingers crossed I’m not so stiff after this repeat week.

[roseabi in reply to Pippatong]

Take care, and I hope it goes well!! xx

[HappyNoodle Graduate10 in reply to Pippatong]

Good luck 😍

[HappyNoodle Graduate10]

Think I am out this week due to injury but hope to be back at it next week

[roseabi in reply to HappyNoodle]

Sorry to hear that Rest well, you'll be back!!

[telford_mike Graduate10]

Did my 10k this morning. What a great plan, loved every minute of it 😀 Thanks Ju-ju and roseabi!

[HappyNoodle Graduate10 in reply to telford_mike]

Well done 😍! I’m having a forced break but will catch up soon hopefully.

[roseabi in reply to telford_mike]

Congratulations!!!!

[roseabi]

Helloooooo Magic Numbers!!!!

How's everyone getting on so far???

😁🏃🏃💪👍👌❤💥💥💥💥👠👑🐆

[UpTheStanley Graduate10]

Hi Roseabi …..

I've only just seen your latest post from 2 days ago, and I guess I'm the first to reply 'cos nobody else saw it either - there's no way of knowing a new post has turned up on the end of an existing thread, as far as I know? So I thought I'd better reply, as I wouldn't want you to feel unloved

Anyway, I'm doing OK as per my own latest thread, thanks, pretty much back on track after my niggle

[roseabi in reply to UpTheStanley]

Glad to hear you're back on track, well done!

Ju-ju yesterday put up the Week 3 post for Magic Number, it is here:

healthunlocked.com/bridgeto......

Which post of mine are you talking about?

[UpTheStanley Graduate10 in reply to roseabi]

The one immediately above mine ☝️

[roseabi in reply to UpTheStanley]

Oh the comment! Sorry, I thought you meant a whole new thread - I'm always getting so confused about terms these days

Thank you xx
