Happy pace 12k!

[Sandie1961]

It was rather chilly and raining this morning so I dug out my fluorescent pink lightweight waterproof running jacket to put over my short sleeved t-shirt. Just the job! Sisters with Blisters playlist on Spotify and off I went. Anyway, not a particularly eventful run, but a time of 1:23 (6.54 av) compared with my first 12k run, which was on the exact same route, of 1:26 (7.10 av). Felt better than last week’s 10k too. Happy running peeps 🏃‍♀️🏃🏻‍♂️🏃‍♀️🏃🏻‍♂️

Wow Sandie, that’s a good pace. I think I’ve got the same jacket as you. Happy running

Decathlon? I’m certainly highly visible 😂

[BaddieThePirate Graduate10 in reply to Sandie1961]

Yep, that’s the one. We won’t get run over will we!

Well done Super Sandie! Prepping for a fantastic time at the GSR. 🏃‍♀️👏👍👊💪

[Sandie1961 Graduate10 in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Thanks Cheeky. I’ve put my predicted time as 1:50, which is about 7 mins per km. Nearly all my normal runs are between 6.45 and 7.15, so am hoping it will be doable 🤞

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to Sandie1961]

Wow that’ll be an amazing time to run it in. Better bring a book(s) to read while you wait for me at the finish! 😅😅

[Sandie1961 Graduate10 in reply to cheekychipmunks]

😂🤣😂

[Katnap Graduate10]

That's really good for your easy pace! 🏃

[Sandie1961 Graduate10 in reply to Katnap]

Thanks Katnap! Doesn’t seem to matter what I do, I always end up roughly at this pace. It feels comfortable for legs and lungs, which is the main thing 😀

[TailChaser Graduate10]

That is a good pace Sandie, that’s one of my favourite training paces too. As for the weather, does anyone know what it is doing at the moment? It can’t decide if it’s autumn or high summer here 🤔

[Sandie1961 Graduate10 in reply to TailChaser]

I’m seriously thinking of flicking the heating on for an hour I am so cold. Still managed to arrive home this morning though like a sweaty tomato, albeit with soaking wet hair!

[TailChaser Graduate10 in reply to Sandie1961]

Yep, did that Saturday! Then yesterday I threw water over myself during the run I got so warm followed by wearing little kitten’s fleece jacket I got so cold. It’s that annoying in between stage 🥵🥶

Well done on that speedy 12k Sandie. You'll be well ahead of me at the GSR too. You can keep Stanley company waiting for me and cheekychipmunks . Yep I put the heating on for an hour last night too.

[Sandie1961 Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

I think Stanley will be back well before me!

[Windoze Graduate10]

Great running Sandie 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️😎😎🥳🥳

What an amazing pace... I'm still working on getting to 5k regularly, and have to go VERY slowly to get my achilles fitter! So I've gone from a 'best' pace of 7:30 down to 10... but at least I am still running!

[Sandie1961 Graduate10 in reply to primaballerina]

It’s taken me 18 months from starting C25K to get here and no injuries thank goodness. As the lovely Oldfloss would say “slow and steady” and you’ll get there. Main thing is you are still running 🏃‍♀️😊

[GoGo_JoJo Graduate10]

Nice run! 👍🏻💪🏻😁 it is cool on and off now. Our heating has been on more than once! 🤣

Wow that’s a great distance and time.
