The weekend is always my time for doing the longest run of the week. So today I set off with minimum faffage and a clear route in mind and inspiration from Kipchoge and his marvelous marathon 🏃🏿
Last week my long run was 8.9k in 59 minutes (the longest so far) and felt pretty good at the end of it. So, doing the same route today with a bit extra was a no-brainer. TODAY I RAN 9.46K 🤣🏃🏼♀️❤️
I took some photos along the way, not my usual wildlife/happy photos, but very sad tributes to riders who have died along this road 😪 These people kept me going today as I thought... They will never be able to ride this route again, but I can run it...so don't give up now!
I'm looking forward to next week when I will hopefully not only run for over 60 minutes, but also break the 10k barrier! 🏃🏼♀️❤️
Enjoy the rest of your weekend xxx

Good run for you today but that road seems pretty dangerous with the amount of people who have been killed, never a good idea to run along main roads, especially roads that are particularly dangerous,
Love the way your distance is gently creeping up! I am a bit behind you having only done 8k but I like your way of adding half a kilometre and might give that a go. It might stop me being quite so intimidated by 9k!
This is brilliant, well done on your long run. Next week will be amazing hitting 10K. Me too, it will be a wonderful acheivement and what a big boost! All the best
I am very careful and the road is much slower now with the 40mph speed limit and speed cameras in place! And I was out quite early before much traffic was on the road 😀🚗 xx
Have you took your new trainers out for a spin yet? 😊👟👟
I didn’t venture out first thing as I had planned - I’m just getting over a cold 🥶 but by the afternoon I was feeling better and temptation got the better of me 😜 did 2 miles just alternating a minute walking fast / running as I had not ventured out for two weeks resting my Achilles that had given me cause for concern ha ! But all went well thanx and felt goooood ! No excuses this next week for me not to be out there pounding away on the canal tow path !
Hope your having a good weekend, much planned ? Xx
Aw thanx x yes I’m feeling loads better - it feels really weird to be honest, it’s like week one but I thought I’d be out of breath really quickly but no, I’ve kept some fitness up which I’m quite happy with - so Monday morning I’ll go out and probably do a intervals of a few minutes and just increase up gradually again.
It’s a chilled out evening before work tomorrow. Catching up on a few emails & some of my fav music 🎶
Oh that's great! Yes, I have followed it very loosely. I think the major thing that I've done is strengthening and stretching excersises every day and PLANKS! Only 5 minutes, but it's made a huge difference! x
That's great - my strengthening has been concentrated more on my calves - which are thanking me - they still get tight at the beginning of a run, but no where near as much
I am very careful... Hi-Vized from top to bottom 🤣 Maybe that's why I don't like to go out when there are many people about, because I look a bit like an escapee from the rainbow factory!? 🌈😂
Don't you worry about how far you can run at this moment in time! It will happen when you least expect it 😉
