Just coming up to 10K

[Jennyhare]

Hi there,

Nice to come across this friendly community. There seems to be a bit of no man's land between C25K and superfit distance running, so this group's existence is much appreciated.

Born with a club foot so have some challenges, but steadily building up my aerobic base.

I'm not into competitive running, but started out with a view to keeping up with illegal fox and hare hunts (they're on horseback!) - which I'm now managing to do. What I wasn't expecting was just how much I love running just for its own sake.

What else? I run in huarache (minimalist footwear) sandals because of my strange feet and I'm trying to figure MAF (Maximum Aerobic Function) and the rather grim business of combining the high fat/low carb MAF diet with my regular vegan one. Any advice/thoughts on this appreciated.

Look forward to reading and posting with you!

Jenny

This is such a friendly forum I hope you enjoy your time with us. I dont know about vegan diets but being slim I do know that there are times when I really need more energy food - I make oat cookies packed with nuts, chopped prodes and dates - gives me the boost I need. Happy running 🤗

I can’t offer you and practical advice, but would just like to say welcome.

You’re right, I have also found that running itself is such a great thing to do.

Wishing you happy running 🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♂️👍
