A thank you and an update

Thank you so much to everyone who replied to my ‘I totally can’t breathe and run’ post....very helpful!

I’ve been trying the ‘go even slower than you think’ thing and it seems to be working. The daft thing is I don’t seem to be going much slower but mentally it helps 😂😂

Did Parkrun No4 today, a very good mate ran with me both this week and last week so I’ve now ran 100% of 3 out of 4 of my park runs. Super happy with that!

Also super happy today that where my Garmin puts my heart rate into ‘zones’ today I was mostly in zone 4 with equal amounts of time in both 3 and 5(highest one) where as on run No2 I was almost solely in zone 5. So very very chuffed with that.

So thanks people for all the advice - so appreciated 😁😁

I’ve said I’ll do Ju-Ju’s next magic 10 so the next stage of my running is commencing. Kind of excited, who knew!

Well done DressageRider33. Yes it took me a while to get to grips with that too but slowing down really works for the lungs and heart. This is especially important when doing the longer distances. I’ve just finished the B210K and my pace is over 1 minute per km slower than my parkrun pace . It’s a great plan - enjoy 🏃‍♀️👏
