9 K - or was it?

Hi all, I ran this morning for 40 minutes, managing 7k. I then walked for 5/6 minutes and ran another 1k at a slower pace. Then walked for 10 minutes and did just over another 1k (all down hill) at a faster pace). So is it 9k ..... or not. Either way I’ve done my exercise for the day and over 10.000 steps before 10 am! 😊

Sure it was RP. You ran 9k and Jeffed like lots of people do (you’ve heard of the Jeff Galloway run/walk method?) So yes you did, definitely! Well done you. 👏👊😀

Sounds like more than 9k to me! When someone does a little jeffing on a marathon they don’t deduct the distance walked! Great job!

I was effing and jeffing on my first C25K run, then found out that it’s not the same thing

In the heat we are having at the moment your run with some walking was excellent . But if you are like me you’ll be happier to say you’ve done it without stopping. So, if you could run it in the cool and just a tad slower you’d be able to do it all in one next time. Coincidentally, 9k is repeated in the plan. Have fun.
