Boom! Boom! Start of 10k with added extra “ The plank”.

13 Replies

Well I did it and braved the rain, managed to get round and did three planks when I got back home. Not sure how many Ju Ju wants us to do. Anyway I did three and an added added extra was Myfanwyi our youngest black lab. She chose to lie beside me and watch, I did think that she might have joined in instead of eyeing me up and down with that “ I think mam has gone absolutely bonkers now” look on her face👀🤣🤣🤣

Anyway hope everyone else is doing ok!🤗🤗

I did 43 planks yesterday. I'm also an inveterate liar :)

🤣🤣🤣🤣 !

Good job Peggy59! Bonus points for you post run planking too, good work... Must be lovely having an audience when you’re mid plank! 🤣

I think I might have a go at the 2.5K next, the interval runs sound quite good, looking forward to that one 👍 (not loving the planks tho 😬)

Thanks ThunderSloth. Yes they are Hardish.I think I did them right from what I can remember when I used to do the occasionally a while ago. It’s the squats I’m not looking forward to😳😳

Good luck with your2.5k.🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🤗🤗

Well done on the run and the planks. At least your pooch only watches. I was doing elbow planks in leggings and a very baggy top a long while ago when my then kitten decided that the inside my top was a good place to settle down 😮. Managed to get out of it without squashing her.

🤣🤣🤣 that’s so funny Annie! I’m pleased Myfanwy didn’t try that one. So I need to do 5.5k and 5k next aswell as more planks.

Anyway Annie thanks for your kind words🤗🤗❤️

At least she lay beside you Peggy and didn't jump on your back 😩 Mind you, that would be a good weight though wouldn't it? 😂

in reply to Irishprincess

Yes she is quite good really and for a Labrador she’s very slight,proper lady like. Ha! I’m pleased she didn’t get on my back.That would have been a plank and a half wouldn’t it? Our other lab who is her uncle is bigger,so I’m pleased he didn’t try.🤪🤪🤣🤗

Great job, Peggy! Are you following JuJu’s Magic 10 plan again? 😃🏃‍♀️❤️

I don’t think I’ve ever done more than 1 plank - I thought you just did them for longer? (My record is 4 mins, but that was a daft competition that I’m not planning on ever repeating!!! 😂😂😂)

in reply to mountaindreamer

Hi mountaindreamer! Yes I’m doing ju jus plan again. I did start it ages ago. But I thought I’d give it another go as I’m going to do some 10k races next year. I did three planks but not for as long as you did🤣🤣🤣.

Anyway how things with you?. Sorry this is late as I’ve not been home from work long.

Happy running and keep safe🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️👍🤗🤗

Well done! How you count planks? How long do you hold the position?

Hi iga! I count to maybe 10 and I really just hold the pants until I can’t do it anymore. Which in all honesty is not long at all. So today I’m going to try and hold them a wee bit longer.🤗🤗

How are you doing? I’m still not finished the first week yet. Work just gets in the way !😩😩
