Just ran for 60 minutes for first time!

I started using JuJus plan and found it challenging but kept at it. This morning we (dog and I) should have ran week 9, 55 minutes but kept going the full 60 minutes! Didn’t manage 10k but I honestly didn’t believe in myself that I would ever manage it 60 mins. We did have a wee stop after 5.5 k as my dog needed a rest, well i will say that anyway :-). We ran against the wind and got caught in heavy showers but pushed through. Am so chuffed and so is my dog

That’s a great milestone - well done!

Congratulations on running non stop for 1 HOUR, looks better than 60 minutes, next 10K, you probably have ran about 8K, well done. 😊 🏃

[Hidden in reply to AlMorr]

Thank you! It was almost 8k today and you are right 1 HOUR does look and feel awesome!! 🤪

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Recently I have been using a metromone app at 162 steps a minute and practicing slightly longer distances, the first was 5k,that about in 37 minutes, the next week it was 6K, about 44 minutes and the most recent was 7k, about 50 minutes, I was going to try 8K today but I was at a parkrun yesterday and did not think it wise to run on consecutive days, instead I went on a short bike 🚲 ride,

[Hidden in reply to AlMorr]

Thats a great idea with the metronome. Yeah best not to overdo it but it seems to be addictive!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

👍 🏃

[Buddy34 Graduate10]

60 minutes non stop running is an amazing achievement. You should be very pleased , oh and well done to your dog also 😊🐶

[Hidden in reply to Buddy34]

Thank you

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10]

Well done to you and your dog! 👏👏👏🐕🐕🐕 I run with mine too for the most part, and love having her come along. 😀

You’ll soon reach 10k, but now you can relish the amazing achievement of running for a whole hour. 🎉🎉🎉 Really well done you! 😀👊

[Hidden in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Thank you. My dog is like a powerball jumping up and down and runs like crazy lol. Yes 10k is in sight!!!!

[Oldfloss Administrator 60minGraduate]

Massive well done you! And dog too

[Stephen_UK Graduate10]

A huge well done to you. And to your dog!

[kpnuts53]

Well done, I'm just starting JuJus plan, really want to run 10k one day

[Hidden in reply to kpnuts53]

You will do it, stick to the plan and enjoy!

[JaoJao Graduate10]

I am thinking of joining the next round of Ju Ju, did you do this in your own time or with the rest of the group? Xx

[Hidden in reply to JaoJao]

I did it on my own as I seemed to miss the group, would like to redo it though with the group and this time focus on distance

[Snailspeed Graduate10]

Amazing!

[Knittingrunner Graduate10]

That’s mega. Very well done. 60 minutes is a huge achievement. I still smile when I remember my first 60 minutes. You will get to 10k eventually. Like C25k most of us can’t do 10k in 60 minutes. 👏🏅🏃🏻‍♀️😊🎉

[Hidden in reply to Knittingrunner]

Thank you. Its amazing, am so chuffed with myself but also for this group and the plan. 10k here I come! Are walking breaks allowed like in C25K?

[Knittingrunner Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

I guess so. It’s jeffing so why not.

[poohbear2608]

Mega impressed! Well done you. I seem to be stuck at 5k or 35-40mins running but I’m ok with that considering I didn’t run at all until January this year but thanks to C25K I’m running 3 times a week and I will be 65 this month.

[Hidden in reply to poohbear2608]

Thanks. I was stuck too at 5k for 40 mins then it went down to 37 and 36 mins for about a year! I made my mind up To do JuJus plan myself and noticed how my stamina was getting better. I am still slow (54 year old) but that doesn’t matter. Enjoy the feeling of finishing any jog, you are doing fantastic! 😁

[Raspberrypink Graduate10]

Well done

[Teresa1632 Graduate10]

Well done! 👏👏👏

[Run46 Graduate10]

Wowee, that's amazing Anna, a big well done🏃‍♀️👍...I just started Juju plan last week and currently the thought of running for 60 minutes seems mental 😳😂

[Hidden in reply to Run46]

Thanks, it won’t take you long to be mental too haha

[Run46 Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Haha, I look forward to it 😂

[Beachcomber66 Graduate10]

Lovely run annabsnanas. The wet windy runs feel the best; once you have finished anyway! Flat white and bonio called for 😊

[Franglaise Graduate10]

Fantastic....well done.
