Longest run ever 🤩🤩🤩

[Buddy34]

I've been adding on small amounts once a week and today I ran just over 7k in 47 minutes. I am so pleased , when I got to 5k I thought I would just stick to that and then reading posts I thought I would give it a try to go longer and I'm glad I did.

I'm soaked my trainers are wet and my socks but I'm so happy.

So thanks to people on here still posting you made me push myself further.

😊😊😊

nice one and thank you, you give me hope that if I trundle round my 4k often enough i might go a bit further i am very pleased for you.

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Brooko]

Thank you . 😊😊😊

[Slothgoesrunning Graduate10]

Very pleased for you Buddy - very inspiring too!

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Slothgoesrunning]

Thank you. It's reading other people's posts that inspire me to try to go further 😊

Whoop whoop! 🎉🥳 Check you out! A little bit of determination and look at what you can do! Very well done 👍🏼

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

See you've changed your avitar.

I honestly didn't think I had any more than 5k in me . But reading posts on here makes you think ' can I do more ' . Just a wee bit every 2 weeks and it's working.

How is your ankle ?😊

[Hidden in reply to Buddy34]

New trainers = new aviator 🤣 It’s much better thank you! Rest and strength exercise works wonders. Back to it tomorrow hopefully 🤞🏼

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Good keep us posted😊

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10]

Well done 🧡

[Cantstopmenow Graduate10]

Fantastic. You'll be doing 10k before you know it 🏃‍♀️👍😁

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Cantstopmenow]

That's the plan and I'm not going to rush it as I don't want any injuries. 😊

[pete1212 Graduate10]

I can only dream of doing 10k think 5k would be my limit 😂well done to you 👏👏👏

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to pete1212]

I thought 5k was my limit. Then at the beginning of c25k I thought 60 seconds was going to kill me 😂. Just a little added on each time 😊

[Grannyhugs Graduate10 in reply to pete1212]

Never say never, once the run bug bites ...

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10]

Excellent run and time for you this morning Buddy34, despite the rain you had a really good run, was the run on the same course as Drumpellier Parkrun? onwards and upwards to running an 8K.

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

Thanks AlMorr, my run was out on the pavements near me not at Drumpiellier but when I get nearer 10k I may use the parkrun course and double up on it 😊

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Buddy34]

Once again, well done, I suppose I am a bit lucky, I have a small park only 3 minutes away from my home, off road route linking it to Broadwood Loch, it was there that I gradually every two weeks by 1K increased my distance to 10K, I don't fancy running on the pavements, you probably know that in Cumbernauld there are no pavements in the traditional sense, it's all paths off road, a good place to walk, run and cycle away from traffic.

[Grannyhugs Graduate10]

Great effort, fantastic distance and time. I’ve 7k at the end of week and was thinking nearer the hour mark with my HR monitoring still ongoing. 8k next for you?

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Grannyhugs]

Yes, will do maybe another 7k next Monday then 8k.

[Grannyhugs Graduate10 in reply to Buddy34]

Are you on ju jus 10k plan or just having fun running?

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Grannyhugs]

I'm adding roughly 1k every 2 weeks

[Grannyhugs Graduate10 in reply to Buddy34]

Perfect

[FatterPenguin Graduate10 in reply to Buddy34]

I may do that when I go back to it - do you just add 1K to one of your weekly runs?

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to FatterPenguin]

Yes I'm adding 1k every 2 weeks on a Monday .

How is your knee ?😊

[FatterPenguin Graduate10 in reply to Buddy34]

Oh how sweet of you to remember about my knee! It's much better, though a friend told me I ran Park Run on Saturday with a limp 🤣 - that was the first proper ru I have done in a fortnight - really been missing it!

I ran 5k today as well, and all was good. I'm slower than I was, but hopefully I will speed up. 🏃🏻‍♀️

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to FatterPenguin]

Keep it slow to build back up. Good luck 😊

[UnfitNoMore Graduate10]

Great job... That 10k is calling you, and you’ll love it!!

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Yes it is. How's your legs after your HM

[Nymahchai]

Well done! You’ve got the mindset to just go for it! Get warmed up and enjoy the post run feeling!

[NearlyMan]

Brilliant effort Buddy. Well done!

[Sp81 Graduate10]

[Tinker5393 Graduate10]

Well done buddy, very speedy, 10k not far off for you now 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

[Sparkey5000 60minGraduate]

Great stuff....you were always encouraging over on C25K so nice to be able to share your journey over here. I’m still struggling on a consistent 5k but got out last night in the rain too. I’m struggling to keep going. It’s a mind thing. You’re doing awesome!!

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Sparkey5000]

Once you've done a few weeks of 30 minutes try something new .

A shorter faster run , new music and my favourite, new routes 😊

[Puppy-love]

Well done, Buddy. Worth the wet feet. Great time too. 👏👏😊

[Over62]

[Vegout25]
