WEEK 2 POST HERE: healthunlocked.com/bridgeto...

Hi there, Magic Runners!!!

Welcome to Week 1 of Ju-Ju's Magic Running Plan! We will be working together through an 8 week training plan with the goal of running 10 km, OR for a total time of 60 minutes!!!!

★ YOU CAN START THE PLAN AT ANY TIME - please comment below if you would like to join in the fun!

I hope you're all feeling excited about the next 8 weeks - it's going to be great 😊😊😊

💥 I will be posting each Monday, and will include a link to a pinned post containing all the MAGIC PLAN INFORMATION:

healthunlocked.com/bridgeto...

We've had a marvellous response to last week's post, and I have made a LIST of all you Magic Runners here:

docs.google.com/spreadsheet...

I hope you will join in the discussion each week with your questions, advice, and support - and keep one another accountable 💗

Let's get right to it 😄

💥 This week's runs:

Distance runs ( to be completed in any length of time, and in any order you wish)

★ 2.5k

★ 5k

★ 5.5k

Timed runs ( for those not yet ready to do the distances in the 10k Plan. Can be run in any order)

★ 15 minutes

★ 30 minutes

★ 35 minutes

💥 This week's STRENGTH EXERCISE:

Each week (except for Week 5, where we will take a well-earned break!), I will introduce a new strength workout for you to try. These are optional, but I strongly recommend you give them a try!!! Including regular strength work in your routine will help you become a better and healthier runner.

💥 This week's exercise is... THE PLANK!!!

I suggest you give planks a try this week! The plank is an amazing exercise that works the whole body, but particularly the core - including the back.

Planks are not easy, so if you are new to them I suggest you start small and build them up as you get stronger.

★ When should I plank?

I suggest that you do your planks as soon as you get home from your run - you'll be nice and warmed up, and dressed appropriately, and when you've finished you can have your shower and feel really awesome 😊😊😊

In later weeks, as we have gone through the other exercises, I am going to provide options for putting them all together into a more extensive strength workout, which you may wish to do on a non-running day.

★ How do I plank?

You'll need a stopwatch of some sort (I'm sure there's an app for that!), and I recommend you get something soft to put under your elbows. Working on a yoga mat is a good idea if you have one, but I find I manage fine just on the carpet with a thin cushion for my elbows.

I have put together a simple plank workout with illustrations that can be viewed here:

drive.google.com/file/d/10V...

★ TRY TO HOLD EACH PLANK POSITION FOR 30 SECONDS. IF YOU ARE STRUGGLING TO DO THIS, SHORTEN THE TIME UNTIL YOU FEEL STRONGER ★

💥 A word from Ju-Ju- about the Magic Plan, Plankety-Planks, and treats 😄

For any of you who don't know her, Ju-Ju is the admin who started the Magic Running Plan. She is currently taking some time away from Health Unlocked due to work commitments, and I am looking after the Magic Plan until her return.

I will share one of her lovely videos each week - regarding this one I'd like to add that Ju has upped her planking game considerably in the months since she posted this 😊

Happy running all!!!

Foodbaby and BandEi - welcome to the Magic Plan!!! I have added you both to the list 😊😊😊

LilianasGran• in reply toroseabi6 years ago

I would like to join the magic plan too. Already started week one.

SeeJillRun60minGraduate6 years ago

Looking forward to my first run later 😁🏃‍♀️

roseabi• in reply toSeeJillRun6 years ago

Have fun!!! xxx

RunRunRun13Graduate10• in reply toSeeJillRun6 years ago

Me too Jill - good luck 🏃‍♀️

SeeJillRun60minGraduate• in reply toRunRunRun136 years ago

And to you! Enjoy! 😃

RunRunRun13Graduate106 years ago

Let’s get this party started - good luck everyone 🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♂️

roseabi• in reply toRunRunRun136 years ago

Good luck to you too xx

Jogunlikely6 years ago

Really looking forward to starting the plan tomoz (Pilates class tonight) the plank not so much 🤣

Good luck everyone x

SeeJillRun60minGraduate• in reply toJogunlikely6 years ago

It’s not so bad if you do the half plank. Good luck!

Jogunlikely• in reply toSeeJillRun6 years ago

🤣 I know from Pilates but I have a no cheating rule for this plan. I will folliw the instructions to the letter. If I let one area slip the rest soon follows 🤦‍♀️

I may not get the full 30 seconds to start with but i may surprise myself 😁

roseabi• in reply toJogunlikely6 years ago

Modifying with knees down is suggested as an option, but if you are struggling to maintain the correct position for 30 seconds set a shorter time to start with xx

SeeJillRun60minGraduate• in reply toJogunlikely6 years ago

I don’t consider the half plank to be cheating. I can’t manage a full plank quite yet but I can manage a half. I plan to use the half plank as a stepping stone to the full plank

Jogunlikely• in reply toSeeJillRun6 years ago

Sorry hon was not suggesting it's a cheat for anyone else 💕 we are all at different stages, shapes, sizes and abilities. I know I can do full plank (not for very long) I just don't because I'm fundamentally lazy and don't like doing things that require effort on my part. How I ever got bitten by this running bug is a complete mystery to me!

SeeJillRun60minGraduate• in reply toJogunlikely6 years ago

I may be better at the full one this way as it’s using forearms. I struggle with it in yoga as it tends to be with hands n my right wrist just can’t cope. I’m up to 50 seconds of half plank so when I get to 60 I’ll try a 30 second full n see what happens

Stephen_UKGraduate106 years ago

Looking forward to doing this. For clarity, are all posts for this week to be posted in this thread?

roseabi• in reply toStephen_UK6 years ago

It doesn't matter! It's nice if you join the thread, but if you'd like to make your own post that's also great 😊😊😊

I hope that answers your question?

Stephen_UKGraduate10• in reply toroseabi6 years ago

Thanks. Can the main thread be pinned to the top of the forum each week? Otherwise it will vanish below all the newer threads.

Most other forums seem to work in such a way that any new post brings a topic to the top of the list, but this one is ranked by first post rather than latest post – although it's very possible that I'm just viewing the forum wrongly...

roseabi• in reply toStephen_UK6 years ago

It has been pinned, but where you will see it depends upon which device you are using - it may be in the RIGHT (edited!) sidebar or down near the bottom of the page.

Yes, you are correct, and yes it's a pain 😄

Stephen_UKGraduate10• in reply toroseabi6 years ago

Thanks. So it's not deliberate, then?

roseabi• in reply toStephen_UK6 years ago

It has nothing to do with me, I am a volunteer admin 😊 If you have any comments or queries about site design, please contact Health Unlocked:

support.healthunlocked.com/

Stephen_UKGraduate10• in reply toroseabi6 years ago

Not trying to cause any trouble! Honest!

roseabi• in reply toStephen_UK6 years ago

I see you... 😄😄😄

backintimeGraduate10• in reply toStephen_UK6 years ago

You can sort in different ways, latest, unanswered, recent activity, the sorts buttons are at the top when you are looking at all the posts.

Hope that helps

Stephen_UKGraduate10• in reply tobackintime6 years ago

I know. But by default it does not prioritise new replies. Only new threads.

Will shut up now.

backintimeGraduate10• in reply toStephen_UK6 years ago

haha, yes, latest by default, but it's just one leeetle click to make it "Recent Activity" first

Stephen_UKGraduate10• in reply tobackintime6 years ago

One leetle click to you, maybe, but over a lifetime all those extra leetle clicks add up...

Now I really am going to shut up before I’m either banned from the forum or sent to the naughty corner for a week of plank exercises.

backintimeGraduate10• in reply toStephen_UK6 years ago

But just think of the calories burned by clicking it all adds up

Oh lord, a week of plank exercises

roseabi• in reply tobackintime6 years ago

😄

Dottie_DGraduate106 years ago

Looking forward to starting later. With the planks, what do you recommend starting time to hold each 😳

roseabi• in reply toDottie_D6 years ago

30 seconds - this is stated in the left column of the document, but I will add it elsewhere to make it clearer 😄

Dottie_DGraduate10• in reply toroseabi6 years ago

Sorry didn’t see that 😂. Must try harder 😜😃😂

KerteszGraduate106 years ago

Hi Roseabi - thanks for this - love JuJu’s motivational video! Is there a ‘prescribed’ amount of time/reps for the planks? I couldn’t see this anywhere, but might’ve missed it... x

roseabi• in reply toKertesz6 years ago

It is 30 seconds per plank (left column in the document). I have also suggested that you may increase the time as you feel, but in reality it is much better to do a shorter amount of time maintaining the correct position.

To challenge yourself more, you may also like to try taking a five minute break and then going through them all again 😊

Also, and I'll be talking about this next week, you can include the planks as part of a more comprehensive strength routine.

KerteszGraduate10• in reply toroseabi6 years ago

Ah, thank you! For some reason the left hand column isn't visible on my phone or iPad... 🙄

roseabi• in reply toKertesz6 years ago

Hmmm can you see the other two columns?

RunRunRun13Graduate10• in reply toroseabi6 years ago

I can’t see the left hand columns either x

roseabi• in reply toRunRunRun136 years ago

OK, thanks both for your input - I will revise my plans 😊😊

roseabi• in reply toroseabi6 years ago

NB if you can see the description and the images that's all you need.

One more thing (and I really appreciate your help with this!) - are you unable to move the document around the screen with your fingers?

KerteszGraduate10• in reply toroseabi6 years ago

Can see the centre and right hand columns thank you - and can see all three when I log on via laptop. And no, on my iPhone and iPad I can’t move the doc with my fingers - the left hand column is literally invisible (I tried holding devices portrait and landscape) and if I try and move the page it simply snaps back to its original position.

(Going forward, I can just look on laptop anyway... and besides, all this faffing is helpfully putting off the inevitable - which is actually DOING the darned planks!!) x

roseabi• in reply toKertesz6 years ago

Thank you, that's so helpful xxx

Ha 😊😊😊

roseabi• in reply toroseabi6 years ago

Have replaced the doc with a pdf and tested on an iPad - should be viewable now!

Thanks again for all the help xxx

KerteszGraduate10• in reply toroseabi6 years ago

It’s perfect! Thank you...

Julia187Graduate106 years ago

I've started!! I opted to do the longest run first off and then work in reverse order so hoping after a shorter final week 1 run my legs will be in good shape for week 2 and the next longer run at the weekend (if that makes sense!)

roseabi• in reply toJulia1876 years ago

Sounds like a plan 😊😊😊

E27M14Graduate106 years ago

I was planning to start tomorrow but seeing this has got me enthused so I might start with the short one today! Hoping to make it through to the end in the eight weeks this time 🤞

roseabi• in reply toE27M146 years ago

Awesome!!!

Good luck and have fun xx

OldflossAdministratorGraduate106 years ago

No run until the all clear..but exercise will commence...Go everyone!!

roseabi• in reply toOldfloss6 years ago

All the best, Floss!!! xxx

RunMitchRunGraduate106 years ago

Currently traveling in Japan & completed the 30 min run on the streets of Osaka earlier today. Feeling good!!

roseabi• in reply toRunMitchRun6 years ago

Wow! Well done 😊😊😊

• in reply toroseabi6 years ago

Did the same as Julia187 and did the 5.5k today as my last run was Friday. So far so good! Good luck everyone

backintimeGraduate106 years ago

Silly question alert, pollen permitting, I am trying to transition from treadmill to outside. Doing some reading on the web I found suggestions of doing part of the run outside to gradually allow muscle groups to get used to the difference (which would have been gradual if I could have done the c25k outside, but would now be a sudden change).

If I set my treadmill ready before I go is this doable while following the plan until I get the whole run outside. Like do 1k outside and run in the house and hop on the treadmill to finish it off ?

I did 500m outside yesterday, and it was ok-ish, I felt the difference in my legs, and I don't want to get injured by suddenly doing 5k outside.

I feel like a wimp.for asking but better to be safe than sorry

roseabi• in reply tobackintime6 years ago

Absolutely! Sounds like a good idea too xxx

Looking forward to seeing how you get on!!!

Good morning all!.. I’m in the middle of packing my house up and up to my 👀 in it🙈... but I got up early and off I went... intending to run 2.5k but felt good so completed the 5k run 😍. Moving day is tomorrow so that can be my rest day🤣🤣🤣 and I should be good to run 2.5k on Tuesday, happy running 🏃‍♀️ folks😁

roseabi• in reply toRsooze6 years ago

Excellent!! Hope all goes smoothly tomorrow xx

Myzinnyboy60minGraduate6 years ago

Did the first run today with walking to make up my time out. The plank, my poor body is not happy. I think I shall have to try again with them!

Roll on Wednesday 30 minute run.

roseabi• in reply toMyzinnyboy6 years ago

It's worth the effort 😊 Yay - roll on Wednesday!!!!

Dingle7360minGraduate6 years ago

Completed 15 mins early this morning 👍 I’ve only just read the ‘in any order’ and should’ve done 30mins or 35 first - oh well!

roseabi• in reply toDingle736 years ago

Not to worry xx

madaboutsaffron6 years ago

Please can you add me to the plan (time). Thanks

roseabi• in reply tomadaboutsaffron6 years ago

Welcome to the gang! 😊😊😊

backintimeGraduate106 years ago

how many planks should we be doing? sorry if this is written somewhere, but I did look and can't find it

roseabi• in reply tobackintime6 years ago

It's not written anywhere, I am leaving it up to your good selves 😊

But as you ask, I suggest you try running through that set of three, take a 5 minute break, then do them again.

Chris9RGraduate10• in reply toroseabi6 years ago

I managed a sorry 2 30 second ones! 🤣

RunRunRun13Graduate10• in reply toChris9R6 years ago

Ditto Chris ! 🤣

DebstonGraduate106 years ago

I fear that I have already messed up. Forgot I was supposed to be starting this today, headed out for a 30 minute run, struggled in the heat and gave up after 3km. Realised when I got home and looked at my calendar that I SHOULD have been doing my 2.5km run today anyway. Can I count this as my 2.5k? Even though it was a bit over? Am feeling very cross with myself! 😂

roseabi• in reply toDebston6 years ago

Of course you can count that as your 2.5 km run xxx

Remember you can do each week's runs in any order too!

DebstonGraduate10• in reply toroseabi6 years ago

Phew, thank you! I'm giving the distance plan a go and if it all gets too much (am slow), I will switch to time instead. Now to get my head around planks... 😅

Chris9RGraduate10• in reply toDebston6 years ago

Great idea.

SeeJillRun60minGraduate6 years ago

Did my 15 minute run today. Not sure why but it was horrible, I wanted to stop after 10 minutes n that’s never happened before. Pushed through n did the full 15 but I think I must’ve looked like I was coming to the end of a marathon by then, my form was non-existent 😂😂 Taking at least 2 rest days before I do my next one

Not been brave enough to try the side planks yet but managed 55 seconds of half plank (have been planking for a couple of weeks now). Maybe next time.... 🤔😉😂

roseabi• in reply toSeeJillRun6 years ago

Well done!! Sometimes runs just are terrible xx

SeeJillRun60minGraduate• in reply toroseabi6 years ago

I thought my last run was hard work, this was beyond anything I’ve experienced before. So glad it was only 15 minutes 😂😂😂 Ah well, it’s done now xx

Chris9RGraduate106 years ago

Aha here’s week 1 👍🏻

Run 1 done. A hard 5K today. Feel free to follow me on Strava if you like we can motivate each other?

Is there a Strava group for B210K?

roseabi• in reply toChris9R6 years ago

Hello again 😄

Not to my knowledge.

Hi 😁

Anna6756 years ago

Count me in (again 🤣) I only got to the end of week 6 last time before life got in the way.

roseabi• in reply toAnna6756 years ago

Welcome!!

RunRunRun13Graduate106 years ago

5k done and 2 x 30 second planks ! Just call me “shaking Stevens” 🤣😅 I did find putting a thin cushion underneath my elbows helped !

Chris9RGraduate10• in reply toRunRunRun136 years ago

Snap!

RunRunRun13Graduate10• in reply toChris9R6 years ago

Aren’t they just delightful ! Look like I’m having a fit 🤣

Chris9RGraduate10• in reply toRunRunRun136 years ago

Tell me about it. Think I’m going to give them a go before the next run 🤪

RunRunRun13Graduate10• in reply toChris9R6 years ago

Going to try and do them daily ! Soon we will have abs of steel ! 😂 🤥

Chris9RGraduate10• in reply toRunRunRun136 years ago

Might be able to manage an extra one on none run days 😬

roseabi• in reply toRunRunRun136 years ago

That shake means your muscles are working hard 😊😊😊

SnailspeedGraduate106 years ago

Done the 2.5k tonight. I don’t if it was because I knew I was only doing half my usual distance but I shaved 20s /km 😂

Managed the first plank for 30s but the other two were a disaster lol.

Bring on the next run! Quite excited!

roseabi• in reply toSnailspeed6 years ago

Awesome 😊😊😊

Curly44Graduate106 years ago

I did the 5k run today but I got a horrid pain in my upper abdomen in the middle,it didn’t feel like a stitch(which amazingly I haven’t had at all when running) so I just wondered if you had any advice on how to stop this?

roseabi• in reply toCurly446 years ago

It's hard to say, because we don't know what it is, and we're not doctors of course 😊

Could be an acid stomach, in which case you should consider the timing of your run with food, and/or taking an antacid. Could be abdominal cramp - strengthening exercises may help with this, or possibly salts (jury's out on that one), or even pickle juice! Time to experiment. But I hope it doesn't happen again, sounds nasty xxx

sTrongFuseGraduate106 years ago

Because I'm totally out of sync with everyone, having started the old plan a few weeks back, I've just done the W4R3 8k run (in 1:01). So that's 59.5k done, 72k still to run...

Resting up tomorrow and then it's on with W5.

Anyway, Good luck to everyone setting out on this journey.

roseabi• in reply tosTrongFuse6 years ago

Well done, and that's a different way of looking at it! 😊😊😊

Dottie_DGraduate106 years ago

OK, so I plan to do distance and went out with my new running club to do 5k tonight.

Wow it was a good turn out with lots of people in each ability group. 14 people in my 5k group and I managed to largely stay in centre of group, and even looped back with the front runners to rejoin the back of the group.

Hence I actually did just over 5.5k. I am delighted, especially when I can say I really enjoyed it (that’s a first during a run 😂).

That leaves a short 2.5k mid week then 5k on parkrun on Saturday. I’ve also done my planks, 30secs face down but only managed 15secs on the sides; they are tough 😳🥵.

Good luck fellow magic VRBs, we can do this 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

roseabi• in reply toDottie_D6 years ago

Wow - how fabulous!!!! Well done xxx They are tough, but you can do them 😊😊😊

a1swGraduate106 years ago

5.5k run this evening and planks. Nor an easy run. It was warm today and also tired after the weekend park run and bike ride yesterday - but I did the long run to kick off week 1 😀

Rest day tomorrow with some more planks and stretches.

roseabi• in reply toa1sw6 years ago

Lovely!!

Emski101Graduate106 years ago

2.5 run done yesterday yay! Shockingly busy day at work, thought I’d never get a run in then realised that it was ‘only’ 2.5. I’ve always thought it’s got to be at least 5k to make it worth my while. This plan has got me thinking already! Glad to have got started and looking forward to the longer runs later in the week 🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️

Good luck everyone 😘

roseabi• in reply toEmski1016 years ago

That's great!

Stephen_UKGraduate106 years ago

Still not decided where’s best to post, but put my run 1 report here: healthunlocked.com/bridgeto...

Thank you xx

Have just started a series of personal training sessions with this plan incorporated as the straight cardio sessions. So first gym session Monday, 5k Tuesday, more gym Wednesday (planks included), 2.5k intervals on treadmill Thursday, rest day Friday, gym session Saturday and 5.5k Sunday. Phew! 😪

My PT is a runner so the gym exercises are intended to supplement the running and hopefully all will go well.

Oh and I also have Achilles stretches and foot mobility/strengthening exercises to do each day.

All I can say is - lucky I'm retired or I'd never fit it all in!!

roseabi• in reply to6 years ago

It is time consuming 😊 Well done, that all looks fabulous!!!

KerteszGraduate106 years ago

Anybody else set their planks timer to minutes instead of seconds...?! 😳🙄#asifitwasnttoughenoughalready

roseabi• in reply toKertesz6 years ago

Oof! Did you do a 30 minute plank??? 😄

KerteszGraduate10• in reply toroseabi6 years ago

Of course I did(n’t)!!! 😉

roseabi• in reply toKertesz6 years ago

😄😄😄

DebstonGraduate106 years ago

Planks... 😔 Yesterday was awful, I could hardly manage 10 seconds of each. Today an improvement at least, I managed on my final go to hold the downward one for 30 seconds. The sideways ones were still terribly short though! Two twin pregnancies have left me with no muscle or core strength at all, clearly! Oh well, the only way is up I guess!

roseabi• in reply toDebston6 years ago

Looks like some pretty amazing progress to me! Remember to take some rest if you need it xxx

DebstonGraduate10• in reply toroseabi6 years ago

Thanks, it was torture! 😂 Are we supposed to be doing the planks every day for the whole 8 weeks? Or do we stop when the next strengthening exercise comes along?

roseabi• in reply toDebston6 years ago

Just three times a week after your run. You can replace them with the next exercise, or do both as a mini-workout - as you feel!

DebstonGraduate10• in reply toroseabi6 years ago

Thanks!

Smee223Graduate106 years ago

If we're doing distance, do we do a 5 min warm up walk and cool down walk that we don't include in the distance, or do we include that in the distance? Or do we not do a warm up walk, just jog gently to start with? Thanks

roseabi• in reply toSmee2236 years ago

We recommend that runners continue throughout this plan with the 5 minute brisk wu/cd walk, not included in the distance, and also to ease into the run gently. As you become more experienced you may use your own judgement about this.

If you are going to be running speed intervals, or fast runs, a longer and more thorough warm up should be done by any runner. We'll be getting into the subject of intervals next week.

Smee223Graduate10• in reply toroseabi6 years ago

Good advice, thank you.

Cosmo5016 years ago

Very excited to be getting underway this week! Have ticked off and enjoyed the 2.5k and 5k... now to push on to the 5.5k tomorrow. Big step for me!! I may progress through this a little slower than most, I think! But I'll try to keep up

roseabi• in reply toCosmo5016 years ago

Excellent start - well done!!!

Glynis1Graduate106 years ago

Hi, started my plan on Monday morning. I’ve now completed my 15 and 30 minute run with the 35 minute to do on Friday morning. I’ve even managed to dodge the rain. 😁😁😁🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️😁😁😁

roseabi• in reply toGlynis16 years ago

Awesome!

ChocomomGraduate106 years ago

If I am already running for 30 minutes, why would I only do a 15 minute run?

roseabi• in reply toChocomom6 years ago

Because we don't know what you are doing after finishing C25K, but we assume around 3x 30 minutes = 90 minutes per week as a base. So for the first week of the Magic Plan you run 80 minutes including a 35 minute run which is longer than your longest ever run. After that you continue to increase your weekly running time but for a couple of cut-back weeks.

For a little more intensity, the short run may be used to include a few speed intervals, particularly when it increases to 20 minutes in Week 4. See next week for more chat about intervals 😊😊😊

SnailspeedGraduate106 years ago

W1R2 . A nice 5.5k. When 4K came and I was getting a bit tired , I had this terrifying thought: one day when I am running 8k, 4K will only be half of the run. How will I ever manage? 😱🥵🤬

roseabi• in reply toSnailspeed6 years ago

You can you it, and it's wonderful!!! xxx

Thesingingrunner6 years ago

I did a 5k ‘race’ run on Sunday and did my best 5k time- I’ve started the Ju-ju plan and done the first two runs but I’m so much slower than my race and the running is feeling more wooden! Maybe I overdid it at the weekend! Anyone else had this after a ‘race’ run?

roseabi• in reply toThesingingrunner6 years ago

Well done for the 5k! You may be a bit tired after that, but in any case you're not racing so you're likely to be slower xxx

Myzinnyboy60minGraduate6 years ago

Well it’s the 35 minutes tomorrow morning. My last day in Cyprus so it’s early start . Planks are hard !

roseabi• in reply toMyzinnyboy6 years ago

Hope you enjoyed your 35 minute run and that your journey home was smooth!

I ran for thirty minutes in 28°C heat this morning. Fourteen minutes at 7km/h, then alternating between 7.5 and 8km/h to the end.

I must be nuts!

roseabi• in reply to6 years ago

Phew! Jolly well done!!!!

Myzinnyboy60minGraduate6 years ago

Travelling now and looking forward to Monday week 2 . Squats must be easiest than planks.

At least it won’t be so hot !

roseabi• in reply toMyzinnyboy6 years ago

I think they are!

JoOnTheRunGraduate106 years ago

RunMitchRunGraduate106 years ago

Currently in Hong Kong - mid 30's & epic humidity, so did 35 min on treadmill in hotel gym today. Don't really enjoy treadmills but needs must. Back in Blighty next week pounding the prom at Brighton & Hove. Looking forward to some cool.

Natman80Graduate106 years ago

Week 1 done. Great to have a new challenge and something to work towards. Was planning to do on distance but think I'll go on time as not quite there distance yet but know it will come. First experience of planks and my body was not a fan but guess that means it must be working 💪

OldflossAdministratorGraduate106 years ago

A week behind... but got the go ahead yesterday, from the lovely Physio, for a slow and steady run... did 4K..? I have no idea why 4K.... 32 minutes... no twinges ...just a bit of an ache from running with the orthotic inserts... Not sure how this will pan out as I probably won't be able to get another run in before Thursday...But I am back running.. so hooray!
