I’m just thinking how wet my flat field is... I guess I’ll be doing this and then getting a shower 😂

Looks similar to the fartlek podcast except I didn’t have the planks. Looks pretty horrendous. Have fun 😬

Doesn’t it just! I like planking, I like running... never thought of trying them in the same workout.

You like planking? I thought you were a normal person, now revising my opinion... 😊

UnfitNoMoreGraduate10 in reply to Couchpotato2

Yeah... I can do 3 minutes low, and almost 2 in high plank. Not sure it’s the ability or the boredom keeping me at 3 low!

I don’t think I’ve ever been described as normal 😂

Tbh normal is quite boring. You must have abs of steel! I think I can do 20s but saying that, not tried in a while...

Somewhere I probably have... they’re protected by some real ale induced padding 😂

I think that one’s gonna hurt... I’m kind of assuming it’s in high plank 😂

That’s not what I figured... that looks easier than what I’d figured!

It’s the first in the series too... can’t wait for run and burpees 🤪

Aha! Incorporating core strength exercise with running

That's one way to find time to do both!

I just hope that when the upper body ones come they don’t involve running on my hands.

I downloaded the Nike running app and it's all set up to go when I get bored of what I'm doing, but I think all my paces are the same...!?

UnfitNoMore profile image
UnfitNoMoreGraduate10 in reply to BaddieThePirate

I think it would still be a tough workout... I haven’t done any fartleks yet but I’ve been doing a couple of paces... “this is nice” and “oh my god” are the voices in my head for all the ones I’ve got 😂

So we could te-name them:

1mile = OMG

5km = if I run a bit faster I'll get home sooner

10km = this is nice

?

Have you survived?

UnfitNoMore profile image
UnfitNoMoreGraduate10 in reply to Couchpotato2

Not done it yet... trying to work out when I can substitute it into my plan! I have a speed session scheduled next week, so that is looking favourite... but i need dry weather really.

Couchpotato2 profile image
Couchpotato2 in reply to UnfitNoMore

right, well you could be waiting a while then :-D It was so muddy for me today...

UnfitNoMore profile image
UnfitNoMoreGraduate10 in reply to Couchpotato2

I’m running tarmac paths at the moment... I need to buy some trail shoes!!!

Couchpotato2 profile image
Couchpotato2 in reply to UnfitNoMore

Mine are not trail. I reckon (probably wrongly) that with the amount of mud, neither shoe is ideal and that I probably would be better with wellies...

UnfitNoMoreGraduate10 in reply to Couchpotato2

There’s also cross country spikes... I don’t have any of them either... this could get expensive 😂

Couchpotato2 profile image
Couchpotato2 in reply to UnfitNoMore

well I did wonder about putting my crampons. Gosh I think I run with spikes when I was a kid, I've got a sudden flash back!

UnfitNoMore profile image
UnfitNoMoreGraduate10 in reply to Couchpotato2

I still have my track spikes... of course there’s no track for 6 miles so they won’t be getting too much wear.
