Hardly any running this week and it’s been driving me crazy. My car was booked in for a service today and rather than book a courtesy car, I thought I’d get a bit of exercise in. Biggest thing to come out of this, apart from happier legs, was that I can now visualise just how long my HM will be! Kept all miles between 18 and 20 minutes, apart from one which came in at 20:05... take that Active 10!
Getting rid of the taper blues: Hardly any... - Bridge to 10K
Getting rid of the taper blues
Wow, that’s one way of avoiding a courtesy car. I’ll bet not many people turn up at the garage then run off! Sounds like you smashed it 😀
Clever way to combine that pesky taper with checking out the feel of the distance. 👍👏🏼 Must speak time our garage about hot drinks provision....🤔🤣
Just got a little 2k jog in too... so that’s just over 14 miles on foot... I wanted to run tired to simulate the end of my event a little, it felt so good!
When I bought my first car off these guys I was there for ages while the sorted everything I wanted on it, would have almost been as expensive if I’d been in Costa that long 🤣. When I got the second one they said to call in for a coffee any time, so i go and have one every time I’m actually passing them and have a spare 20 minutes!
Maybe you did enough Active 10 for half the week! ?
I turned up in running gear for a service during C25K but the run home was too short. I got lost trying to extend the run and discovered a lot of places I hadn't been before (or since).
Decided to avoid that route again. I run further now so can bypass it. Best to.
I planned my 1st 10K along Middlewood Way but ended up along the canal as I forgot which way to go. Nice run though. I have no sense of direction. 1st ever parkrun I took a wrong turn.
Flip that’s almost a days calories you ran off well done that’s a huge distance
Brilliant.. a dastardly and clever plan!!
What's your predicted HM time??
Some time around lunch 🤣. I have no idea... Nike reckoned 2:30 but then recently I did 10.25 miles in 1:30... cut off is 3 hours so 2:59:59 will do me
That's one heck of a walk UNM, and a lovely calorie deficit unless you stopped twice at Maccies on the way 😅
Bet you were tempted to run a bit of it though 😉
