Does it count...

[BaddieThePirate]

...as fartleks if you run 0.7km to deliver a light bulb, stop and chat for half an hour, run to the allotment and water the plants for half an hour, then run part way home, remember you wanted to try a new footpath and you’re going the wrong way, turn round and run back up the hill you’ve just run down, and run home?

5km done. First in a while 😀

Well you covered 5K, does someone running, say a half marathon and stopping at a cafe, having a cake and coffee then continuing to run to the finishing line count as 'running' a HM, hmmm. 😊

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10]

Of course it counts Baddie! Any way to make fartleks enjoyable!! 😅😅

[Dexy5 Graduate10]

Of course it counts Baddie. You can do anything you like- you are a runner!

I hope your allotment is surviving the hot weather. 🌺🌸🌼🌻

Allotment is doing pretty well. I've hung up my old walking boots, filled them with soul and planted nasturtiums in them 😊

[BaddieThePirate Graduate10 in reply to BaddieThePirate]

Soil even!

[Dexy5 Graduate10 in reply to BaddieThePirate]

Beautiful

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to BaddieThePirate]

I rather like the idea of filling them with soul before planting..

[Sandie1961 Graduate10]

It definitely counts. Hey, you did 5k!

[Katnap Graduate10]

Defo!

[RunaroundSue Graduate10]

Yes, it counts.

[misswobble Graduate10]

Deffo! 😃👍

[Runningroni Graduate10]

Of course it does.

[Yogaandrun]

5k is 5k , with all those chores done as well, its multi tasking 😁

[Raspberrypink Graduate10]

In think it counts. It sounds a lovely run ! 👍🏼

[UpTheStanley Graduate10]

It'll be your new walking boots that are still full of soul, then

[Sybilw Graduate10]

Absolutely! Surprised you needed to ask. 😆

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate]

Sure it counts good for you

[Rungranny 60minGraduate]

I like your style. I managed my first ever 10k recently by running 5k to my son's house, going in for an hour for tea and flapjacks then running the other 5k home. So why not !! Its still 10k in the legs. 🦵🦶

[BaddieThePirate Graduate10 in reply to Rungranny]

Flapjack, yummy!
