Managed to get out at last and did 6.5k today so hopping back onto week 4.... here I come. 🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️

[ju-ju- Graduate10 in reply to Wimborne]

well done!

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10]

Right, tomorrow it’s going to be 8k outside! Don’t fancy that on the treadmill thank you! 👎😅 The snow better have melted. 🤞🤞

Then I have my gait analysis on Tuesday (and probably new runners 😀) and hopefully the chance to try out my new trail shoes later in the week too. What an exciting few running days. 😀😀

[ju-ju- Graduate10 in reply to cheekychipmunks]

I do hope the new runners are doing well?

[Anren Graduate10]

What a lovely picture! I'm also slightly envious of that lovely flat sand

I did my 8k this morning and loved it!! It was 8.5k when I got home. I did waddle a little on the ice bits and stopped a couple of times for snow photos but ran all the hills I think the slippy snow has taught me I need to go slower for hills.

I couldn't find the post last week so I didn't do the hopping skipping and jumping so I'll pop that in this week. Surprisingly finding squats less awful than I thought.

[ju-ju- Graduate10 in reply to Anren]

Oh wow well done, hop skip and jump posts a bit delayed- sorry.

[Westierunner Graduate10]

Went out to do my 8k this morning. It was icy and I had to walk part of it - so decided to go a bit further to make up for it. Ended up doing 12K (but not all running!) But it was a sublimely beautiful run.

[ju-ju- Graduate10 in reply to Westierunner]

superb, well done

[Motiv8me1978]

Did 7.1k today, and 5.4 and 4.4 mid week. Looking forward to week 4!!

[Dexy5 Graduate10]

Sounds like you needed your woolly hat in that wind juju. 🌬🏃‍♀️

I’m on W5 this week but it’s just hit me that it’s only 2 weeks before skiing hols. ❄️⛷❄️🎿❄️. So I’m going to play it by ear with the running during this week, maybe doing some gym work to strengthen knees and thighs. I’ll do parkrun on Saturday but maybe just a slow 8k - we’ll see.

Enjoy your runs everyone. You can do this.

[ju-ju- Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

well done, and yes it was really windy!!!!

[Dragonet Graduate10]

Did parkrun yesterday followed by a further 3km (fewer runners so no queue for barcode scanning) - hope that counts as 8k.

Cold and frozen snow 😱 but got a good 5k time, last km was the fastest (that’s a first) so this training must be doing some good 👍

[ju-ju- Graduate10 in reply to Dragonet]

well done

[Whatnog]

Finished W3 yesterday with 5 km and planning to start W4 tomorrow with the intervals. Good running week to everyone!!🏃‍♀️🏃🏻‍♂️

[Scepticalrunner]

I was out of action all last week due to a bloomin' virus completely wiping me out 😪😪. I spent Tuesday to Saturday mostly in bed. Yesterday, I decided that I was going to go out for a 5k run but only managed 2k before all of my energy was sucked from me and my sinuses were jarring with every footfall, so I walked the last 3k back home. I was so gutted and frustrated 😢😡😢😡. So now I'm wondering as to whether to go back and repeat my 6k week (putting myself back 2 weeks) or whether to just start my 7k week with the shortest run tomorrow evening and try from there. Any suggestions from anybody ? I sometimes feel that my running journey is a case of '3 steps forward, 2 steps back, as whenever I make some nice steady progress, something comes along to sabotage it.

[Knittingrunner Graduate10]

I did the 20minute run to a run program on the WW app. Well I was surprised as I can run faster than I thought for 20 minutes! 😊 I been doing planks and squats for a while but was worried I wouldn’t be able to do the jumps ( I had to learn to walk and then run after a brain tumour) as I haven’t tried them for decades but to my surprise I managed little ones with a bit of a wobble. So going to practice them daily. Going for the 30 minute run tomorrow and will try to go a bit faster. Bit worried about 50 minutes but I’m sure I will do it. 😊

[Susietirzah78]

Here’s to week 4! Now the snow has gone thankfully, didn’t fancy running on snow and ice!

[Teri669 Graduate10]

Wasn’t feeling well at the weekend so set out to do a 3.5 mile run but surprisingly managed 5 miles 😂 roll on the rest of week 4

[Bridget007]

I’m hanging in there 😃 just got the 8k left of week 4 ... just the 8k😲 😂😂 thank you for your brilliant plan I can’t believe I have run for 7k and am now am going for the 8k soon 🏃‍♀️

[ju-ju- Graduate10 in reply to Bridget007]

that is super, huge well done to you

[Vix_yp Graduate10]

Completed week 4 with no problems and looking forward to consolidating with the same runs in week 5! 🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏽‍♀️

[ju-ju- Graduate10 in reply to Vix_yp]

superb well done

[Vix_yp Graduate10 in reply to ju-ju-]

Thank you! 🤗
