Magic Plan - week 1 Run 3

Started with 5k this week at parkrun then a tough and hilly 2.5k on Tuesday, and couldn’t get out again until today. That was a tough run, the hill back to my house is a killer, not sure if I’m pushing on too soon though and whether I should stick to 5k for a while

Great job glentoran, looks like you’re going great guns there! Well done. Ju-Ju said on the main thread the the plan wasn’t prescriptive, so I guess you can do it all however it all works best for you 👍

Happy running 🏃‍♂️

Great time glentoran! Maybe trying to go too fast? You may feel better about the longer distance if you slow it down a bit.

im not sure I can go any slower, that was me slowing way down from my usual (about 1 min/km slower than my last 5k run, I'm tall with long legs. Hills are a killer!! might keep the short runs in the plan for the hills and keep flat for the longer ones see how that goes

Wow, you are speedy. My normal 5k is 34-35 minutes!

28.18 was my last parkrun time. Totally flat though and that was hard going.

Not what you're looking for?
