Week 2 complete - 6k in the bag 😃

[Sandie1961]

I am baffled as to how this plan works, but it blooming does! I have never run 6k without stopping in my life before, but today I did. Breathing was easy and I felt as though I could have carried on. Nearly fell over looking up to watch the Red Arrows go over again (they are doing lots of practice at the moment) but averaged 7.24/km with almost identical times for each km. I was definitely in the zone. It’ll probably all go pear shaped on the next run, but for now I am very happy 😃😃

Thanks Floss! I am still buzzing

These runs are great..6K is the point where , once I've passed it... I feel like I can run for ever...

Just wait...your point will come...and you seem already to be reaching it...wonderful..!

[Bridget007]

Well done ... that’s a really good speed you got going on there too 😃

[Snuffy_T Graduate10]

Well done, very speedy compared to my time. I did it but a lot slower!

[Sandie1961 Graduate10 in reply to Snuffy_T]

It was quite a bit slower than my 5k time but I’d rather slow down and run without stopping (or dying from coughing!)

[Sadie-runs Graduate10]

👏👏👏 Good work, and well done! Such a lovely achievement, to run beyond 5k. The programme is magical. 😊 xxx

[Dexy5 Graduate10]

Well Done Sandie, if you carry on that pace for your long run you will be running 10k in a few weeks. Be careful about watching the red arrows while running though, we don’t want you to run into a lamppost.

I used to work in Cyprus where they trained on their new programme. The best!

[Sandie1961 Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

I would imagine they’ll be off back to Cyprus for their winter training soon, so enjoying them while I can. The weather is so lovely still - sunshine and blue skies! Not looking forward to the inevitable rain.

[Beachcomber66 Graduate10]

Good run and time. I find it hard to gauge starting pace when attempting a new distance so tend to be a bit conservative. Makes it easier to achieve PBs in the future though! I think that you have this under control.👍

[Sandie1961 Graduate10 in reply to Beachcomber66]

Thanks Beachcomber. I think today was just a pure fluke, but it’ll do me for now 😃

Sounds like you had a great run there Sandie. Nice that you found the zone and held it too. It is amazing how the plan really works... we’ll be running 10k before we know it 😁 Roll on week 3 ⭐️⚡️⚡️

[Sandie1961 Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

That seemed so unachievable just a few weeks ago didn’t it? Bring it on!

[Oggy2401 Graduate10]

Well done Sandie, good going. Just finished my week 2 also with the 3k interval run. Now looking forward to Week 3 x

[Sandie1961 Graduate10 in reply to Oggy2401]

Well done! Glad I did my long run yesterday in the sunshine - grey and misty today. Week 3 starting with parkrun tomorrow x
