The magic plan doesn’t wait and week 3 beckoned, so there I was trotting along in yer typical OGR wind, well I say wind - it was a blooming gale really! And with a little bit of wind assistance (credit where it’s due😬), I managed 2 records - fastest km and mile so happy days! And today’s 3.5k was 1.5 minutes quicker than when I first did the plan in March and the 7k was around 3 minutes quicker, so I’ll take that thank you! Happy running
folks!

Wind, rain, uphill downhill it's what makes running interesting. Thankyou yes recovering well, hatching plans to do c25k again when I can. But getting some pressure from friends to get a Treadmill, boring!
Whoop whoop whoop OGR - you have found your wings. Wasn’t it fun though.?
I finally got out at 6.00 this evening and it was so exhilarating. I ran with the gale behind me and then turned around at 1.5k. Oh my goodness! Wasn’t that hard? 45-50 mph Pushing against us. My HR went up and my pace came down. 2.5k done on W1R2 of juju’s magic plan.
I hope you celebrated when you got home. See you at not parkrun on Thursday.
You’re so right - going east was brilliant but crikey, as soon as you turned round and headed west it was unbelievably hard!! But all good fun! Looking forward to breakfast, sorry (not)parkrun, on Thursday!
I ran this morning and it was still fairly breezy and surprisingly humid. I decided to make it a bimble round the trails on the common and it was lovely. 🏃♀️🏃♀️🐾🐾
Oh, must we?! My 3k was 27:14 (pretty good for me!) but hitting the wind tunnel for the end half km took it to 32:32. Which is pretty shabby for you speedy types but will do me for now! Best km was 8:52 - haven’t done that for a while!
It was a good’un wasn’t it? The sunny pic was a few days ago when there were people out windsurfing - the other one was yesterday when the water was in an entirely different mood!
In my drunk on tiredness state i read “It was only a little gate” and thought oh no OGR has fallen over a gate I hope she’s ok, but after a couple hours sleep I even remember answering you before
Fabulous job, well done on your PB's...it's been great fun the crazy weather we've been having. It either helps you along or most of the time acts as resistance training but it's never dull 😆
