Hello everyone and welcome to week 4 of the 10 is the magic number 10k Plan/ How are you all doing? How are you finding planks, squats and jumps?

This weeks vid is filmed in Hayle on the beach, and apologies it’s hard to hear due to the wind. The pic is one that I took on that run.... I was all alone there, it was just amazing.....

Right, tomorrow it’s going to be 8k outside! Don’t fancy that on the treadmill thank you! πŸ‘ŽπŸ˜… The snow better have melted. 🀞🀞

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

I do hope the new runners are doing well?

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.

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.

Sounds like you needed your woolly hat in that wind juju. πŸŒ¬πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

I’m on W5 this week but it’s just hit me that it’s only 2 weeks before skiing hols. β„οΈβ›·β„οΈπŸŽΏβ„οΈ. 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.

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 πŸ‘

I was out of action all last week due to a bloomin' virus completely wiping me out πŸ˜ͺπŸ˜ͺ. 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.

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. 😊
