50 minutes!

[Rigpig]

Well that’s week 4 of magic 10 done with quite a few personal bests this week. The 50 minute run this morning was very slow but a bit easier than last weeks 44 minutes. My 30 minute run was a lot easier and quite a bit faster this week, not sure if I enjoy the longer running length yet but I’ll persevere and hope that it gets easier 🙂

Happy running everybody

Your last 19 words sum me up entirely!

Hang on in there - it does get easier! And well done on your 50 mins! 👍🙂

[Buddy34 Graduate10]

Congratulations on completing wk4 Rigpig and running for 50 minutes. 😊😊

Good run for you today, you also come from New Zealand, so does lexi6, I am also doing JuJu's Magic 10, still to run the 50 minute run but it will have to be delayed as I am running 30 minutes next Thursday as part of the Vitality Running World Cup, I will have to run at least 3 kilometers in 30 minutes to qualify, I am fairly confident I will do that as I usually run 5K on average in 33 minutes. 😊 🏃🏾

I come from Yorkshire originally, I’m just an interloper with the colonials 😀

I’m signed up for the World Cup also and should easily manage the first round.

Good luck!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Rigpig]

This VRWC is to do with a country and team on how many kilometers the team members can run, rather than speed, I would suppose if team members can run 10K or more that country will progress to the next round, to be honest I am not sure how the rules are after you qualify on running at least 3K in 30 minutes.

That’s a good run, i love longer runs and want to just carry on

[Rigpig in reply to SueAppleRun]

I’m ok once I get running, I’ve started to be more affected by the toxic 10 than I used to be but just run through it. I was actually doing ok until the last 10 minutes which were tough. I listen to a good selection of podcasts which really help.

I had terrible music this morning but just kept going and the longer i ran the longer i wanted to run the rain was getting worse and worse though and was soaked when i got home, i just go really really slow for the first 10 minutes

You're flying! Excellent going!

[Rigpig in reply to RunningMigster]

Hardly flying but I am improving 😁

[lexi6 Graduate10]

You’re going well Rigpig 👍

[Raspberrypink Graduate10]

Keep going . You’re doing really well 👍🏼

Keep on keeping on! More importantly enjoy it.. repeat runs or weeks if necessary... you don’t have to do it in a set time. Take the pressure off! You are getting physically fitter with each run even one that doesn’t hit the target.. & mentally stronger when you do hit the target..no matter how long it took!

You are stronger than you think!!! Well done on the PB’s

[Rigpig in reply to Annieapple]

Next week is the same as this week, ‘I’m following the plan to the letter and I feel great but the long runs really take it out of me and I feel tired all day, maybe I should do the longer runs in the evening 😊

[Womangolfer Graduate10]

Well done on your run.

[Leosmit Graduate10 60minGraduate]

50 mins?! That’s fantastic. Well done. That’s like 50 times longer than C25K week 1 day 1!!

[Rigpig in reply to Leosmit]

Felt like it as well 😂😂😂

[Mum22boys Graduate10]

You're doing so well, just keep doing what you're doing 😊
