Fabulous450 Does Faffing So Well, But Day 3 Move for Mind Is A Must!😉❤️

[Fabulous450]

Hi Runners

Well what a lovely sunny day!! 😁 It’s really getting hot out there now! Yesterday, I did a 5.7k walk on Day 2 of my Move for Mind Challenge.

I did some award winning faffing today. I was dressed for a run from 8am and created quite a few unnecessary obstacles for myself (we won’t go into it! 😂).

I was meeting a friend for coffee at 12. So, by 11am (yeah 11! 🥴), I was heading out to do Day 3 of Move for Mind! By the time I was ‘ready to go’, the run options on the app were already narrowed down for me, based on time. This couldn’t be a leisurely long run. So, it was intervals in the little park near home 😯. 17 minutes in total (45 seconds recovery between each split) and nicely named “On the Move”!! 👌🏽.

The App says it starts with you fast and ends with you faster! 🤨 I wasn’t convinced I could do fast, but quick was what I needed. 🤓

After the 5 mins warm up, I did have a 5:35 split and the last one 6:09, so not faster at the end, but very fast for me. It was quick and that was very rewarding indeed!! I was back in time for a quick shower and then straight out again. Perfect. It was a burning platform, but that got me moving. And we’re done! ✅

Little Park is perfect for intervals. And I had the park to myself too. I didn’t think I’d enjoy the faster pace, but because of the 45 second intervals (to catch your breath😛), it works really well. It’s over before you know it and I’d do it again too. 😁👌🏽

Happy running Runners! ❤️

Well done with that fast split 😸

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Katnap]

Thank you 😀! It’s not sustained for very long Katnap, but it was nice to see it can be done. 😯I was pleased by it. ❤️

Well done you...! I did my first intervals yesterday too - loved it! I call myself Anxious Annie on account of thefaffing I do to avoid actually getting out and running!! May I ask what the app is that you use? I like that it makes choices for you!! X

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Kertesz]

Hi 👋🏽 👋🏽! Thank you!

I use the Nike Run Club App. You can create a programme with a target and it makes the choices for you. Or, you can choose from a range of various types of guided runs. You can check the duration and type of run and just choose what suits from that. I’m doing the latter at the moment because I’m really focusing on getting out regularly again, rather than a specific goal. I love the way there’s always something to suit the mood. Including a “Don’t wanna run, run”! 😂 The coaching is specific to the one you select. It really works for me. 🥰❤️

[Kertesz Graduate10]

Thanks so much for this - ‘Don’t wanna run, run’ - count me in!!! 😂. X x x The whole app sounds like a party pack of runners delights!! X

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Kertesz]

Yes, I find as long as you get the kit on and go through the door, the rest is taken care of nicely! 😁❤️

[Bridget007]

Well done ... and that’s fast 🚀 although now my back is feeling better me and fast are not going to be new friends but me slow are going to be ongoing friends 🐌 and great cause too 😍

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Bridget007]

Oh thank you Bridget! 🤗 Honestly the splits are very short. 2 minutes is the longest and that’s at a 10k pace. I wouldn’t (and couldn’t) run 10k at 6. anything. 😂, but I guess it’s good practice if you want to learn a bit more about how to pace yourself. I enjoy running slow when it’s long. I’d be unrelaxed if I was going fast 🥴. I’d rather the last minute burst, if I’ve still got it in me.

I do like to think of being on a track in intervals. Missed out on anything running related at school ☺️. I stuck to other sports, like netball and field sport. I know now that I might have been ok at it if I was brave enough at the time. Still I can make up for it in my running adventures now! 😆😆❤️
