I just don’t know how anyone gets negative splits, todays run was 4.83k easy 1.8 harder and .61 harder still, well we started off easy and weren’t even breathing hard, at the 2k mark Willow broke into song and it sounded awesome, not at all breathless and he had a cigarette during our warm up walk . Me I sung on and off just because i could
Now run harder well heart rate went up legs worked harder but it wasn’t very negative, now harder still, now we are breathing harder but not much left in the legs. We are done 6.44k our longest run on the plan so far, walk to the car grinning, stretch, and home
I bought a new water bottle so filled it with half a litre of water while i made tea
It wasn’t fast but.... average speed faster than last weeks 5k which was faster than the week before 4.8k, so something is working.
and we both ran all the way, 😀😀😀
for everyone running enjoy your runs, for everyone on the injury couch, rest and heal well
Oh and I ordered a skipping rope and foam roller this morning 😂

Love it! Foam rolling is ace too. That is a good run for you and so many happy parts to this! Well done to you both. You deserve to enjoy moments like this 😊
I’ve read people love them, I’ve just ordered a cheap one as since we are running longer distances and 4 times a week not 3 my calves are a bit tight
we are loving following a plan again and I’m amazed that Willow sticks with it, he only ran 5k once then stuck to 3k waiting patiently for me to finish, but this is week 3 of the plan and he’s run a 4.8k a 5k and now a 6.44k which is huge
I bought mine in TKMaxx. They often have cheap workout stuff.
Back is feeling much better, so I can be more mobile again. I’ve started joining in with a 20 minute wheelchair based exercise YouTube video, which really is making my arms burn.
I read once that hula hoops were very popular - but for one year only!! It lead to warehouses full off excess ones - might have been the early 60s. I had one for that original outing I think!!
Thanks Floss, I thought of you when I felt a spring in my feet and all the heel raises I still do from your strength and flex post all those months ago
We are a funny couple, we’ve been together just over seven and a half years and still waiting for the newness of our relationship to wear off lol
Willow was a reluctant runner on week 1 run 1 and I wanted to do it but didn’t expect him to, by about week 3 I would stagger home from work with aching feet thinking we could put it off until tomorrow to find him with my cup of tea made and raring to go so in the middle where I might have given up he kept me going
Now it’s just part of who we are and we both like being on a plan again
Yeh, I laughed when I read your bio and you said he was off like lightning, after initially not being interested! 😄And I love that it’s such a source of joy for you both, together. Your positivity really radiates off the page! Thanks for spreading that joy! 😊🤸♂️💕
He’s a musician and a bit of a hippy, all cool calm and yeah man lol, i never expected him to run but i really didn’t expect him to turn into Mr Grumpy cursing and swearing but once we started he found he loves the freedom of running and really enjoys being the faster of us two
