Magic Wk3, Run 2 - just wow ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

I did my short run on Monday with a friend and then Fate played its hand and my new running club had an option to do 7.5k at steady pace, mixed ability tonight. I nervously joined this group hoping that the steady pace meant slow enough ๐Ÿ˜‚. It was sunny, hot and with a cooling breeze. The pace was 12min miles and I can honestly say I enjoyed all of it, hills included. I feel I have definitely crossed a barrier point as Iโ€™m consistently feeling pleasure on my runs rather than only after them ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿคช. Just my 5k run to do at the weekend then ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ

Happy running to all my VRBs ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ

That's so cool, well done you x

Don't think I'm every likely to run that fast over 75m let alone 7.5km ๐Ÿ˜‚ Breaking those barriers is such an awesome feeling Great job ๐Ÿ‘Š

I thought that not so long ago. I find it so much easier running with a group than on my own like I did on the C25K. Donโ€™t think I could have done the magic plan on my own ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Im thinking I may join the run club in the autumn to keep me going through the dark winter months. But generally I'm not a very sociable soul ๐Ÿ˜Š

Wow, well done! That's really brilliant - if you have done 7.5K , then that must fill you with confidence for next week!

I don't run in a group right now, but couchpotato2 is my real life RB when we can make it work. It really helps the run to go faster, I'm glad it's working for you!
