W1R1 done (2.54k)

[TallTeal2020]

Hi,

So today I started my bridge to 10k journey and ticked the 2.5k run off my to do list.

Knocked nearly 40 seconds off my average pace and gained a 1 mile PB of 9:39 which is 21 seconds faster 😁

I am obviously chuffed with this but I had hoped to do one minute intervals and wondered how I go about doing this as my mannual checks of looking at my watch every 20 seconds only lasted 3 mins before I gave up and just ran...

I have a Garmin Vivosport so it's maybe not even possible? Any advice would be ace.

Thanks in advance.

Great you've now started the magic plan.

As for setting up intervals on your garmin, if you type in to Google your make of watch and how to set up intervals there is usually step by step instructions and even some YouTube videos. Good luck 👍

Thanks, great idea! I'm a bit of a dinosaur when it comes to technology.

Great new PB for you today, well done for starting the 10k plan. Happy running 🤗

Thanks grannyhugs. Treated myself to a new running jacket in a sale today so i can embrace any weather now 😀

Brilliant, all set for autumn when it comes - we’ve been practicing autumn rain in Scotland for a few weeks, even the trees are tuning 🤔

It’s coming early isn’t it! The blackberries in my garden are ripe and I’m sure that’sa month early!

[Grannyhugs Graduate10 in reply to Workingathome]

Really early but yummy

[TallTeal2020 Graduate10 in reply to Grannyhugs]

Yep I'm in Scotland and so hence the new jacket ⛆ luckily I kind of like running in the rain though as I find it quite freshing

[Workingathome]

Well done that sounds like an excellent start! Can’t help with your question though, sorry

[TallTeal2020 Graduate10 in reply to Workingathome]

Thanks. I'm happy to have another plan and goal to focus on

How long do you want to do the intervals for? You could always just redo week 1 and get those prompts. I’ve tried that occasionally running fast/slow. You can chose if you want 60 fast or 90 fast too.

[TallTeal2020 Graduate10 in reply to Sybilw]

Ah yes this is a great idea - thanks! And I'd get to hear Jo again 😁

Team Sarah! You’re doing great pet!! 🤣
