Jump into Summer Quest week 2 - Feel free to join.

It's the second week of the June Quest - please feel free to join

What is the Quest?

The aim of the Quest is to help you find a focus or goal that you would like to achieve by the end of the Quest period.

The Quest takes one calendar month. You can join at any point during that time.

I ask that you are a C25K Graduate before joining the Quest. The reason for this is that pre-graduation your week is very much structured according to the C25K programme, and I wouldn't want the Quest to interfere with that.

Most popular goals are:

★ To run three times a week

★ To slowly increase distance

★ To train for a specific race

★ To add Stretch and Strength exercises to your weekly routine

This is a personal challenge, so it's completely up to you! If you want to join, all you have to do is comment below with something like:

I would like to join the Quest, or, count me in! I want to ..............

At the end of the Quest, there will be a certificate for you to download and keep!!

Wishing you a wonderful week of running! 💥

Last week went well for me a couple of 5kms, swim and gym with a long walk with MrRfc. The end part of this week is manically busy so I am toning things down for that part of the week, i am still doing my move everyday in 2019 so at the end of the week and beginning of next I will just run or race Walk a mile a day. Alternating between run and race walk.

Have a great week everyone.

Hi fellow Questers,

qiute pleased with June so far. I went for three runs last week and am just over 8 miles on my way to the moon. Only one keep fit session which was aerobics.

I am going to start adding my exercise activities on non-running days to Strava as an incentive. It will be nice to have a proper record of having done it..

Hopefully this will get me doing my core work.

Good luck everyone 😊x

What are you doing as core work bluebird? I’m not doing much unfortunately

[Bluebirdrunner Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

I thought that Pilates was good for the core (there are pelvic exercises and sit ups in the video healthunlocked.com/api/redi...

In the aerobics there are squats and you have to balance, so I think that works too. I'd rather do an exercise routine than just static repititions, as I know I'd never get round to doing those! Also the instructor does take you through a warm up and cool down which is important.

You must do core work in your pilates class?😊xxx

I have a sore bum today to prove that I do

I too have had a good week. I did a 10km In a good enough time on a hilly trail. Did a fastish 5km around a boggy lake. So I did 20km last week! I’m trying to do my stretching at lunchtime. Sometimes in the Loos, sometimes outside (i ignore curious looks) So I’m hoping to do a reasonably fast 8km this week In preparation for my race. I’m off to Pilates now. Feeling good and strongn👍

[Bluebirdrunner Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Nice work Paula👍...is your race in France?

Hope pilates was good.😊xx

[Hidden in reply to Bluebirdrunner]

Yep. It’s in France on a causeway with the sea on both sides. Pilates finished with us lying on the floor with our legs straight up against the wall. Very relaxing 😌

I’m already in xx

I’m doing 3 runs a week, although this weeks weather in Southern England may upset my schedule 😪

[Getfitok]

I did 2 runs & 2 s&f, Iwas going to run on Sunday but went on the village walk instead, I found this quite hard because they kept up quite a pace (after childminding for 26 years I am a leisurely walker😊) but am pleased with my week.

Target #1 ✅

Long slow run extended to 16k. With my pacemaker otherwise occupied, it wasn’t as slow as it probably should have been at the start. But I managed to keep it together to complete in just under 1 hour 40 with almost identical 8k splits. So now at least I know I can still run 10 miles, 22 years on 👍

Onwards and upwards!!
