Week 2 complete - 6k in the bag πŸ˜ƒ

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 πŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒ

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

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

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!

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.

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.πŸ‘

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

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 ⭐️⚑️⚑️

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