RunLEJOG4 and a beach run!

After slow-smashing both my 5k target ceiling and reaching my 60min run target this morning ( see post in C25k forum healthunlocked.com/couchto5... ), in RunLEJOG I find myself on the beach near Loggans Moor with other fellow runners of the C25k and Bridge210k community.

And yes, now I have to just add a beach run to my bucket list! πŸ– 🏝 🌊 πŸƒπŸ»β€β™€οΈ

Well done, I have only run very briefly on a beach as part of the Scapa Loop 5k (ish) run on Orkney. I fancy trying a proper beach run. Maybe next month in Bamburgh.

Oh nice! I love Orkney but only cycled at that time! But running on that beach sounds wonderful! I can feel my whole vacation plans shifting in my mind... now how to persuade my family?

We went to Bamburgh Castle last year and explored Northumberland. How long might one be able to run on the beach? Is there a 15 min stretch?

Thanks again! Let’s keep running! πŸ™β˜ΊοΈ

We should have been going to Orkney and Shetland again this summer to do the two parkruns that started up since our last visits.

We have been to that part of Northumberland many times but I haven't done much running there, we do walk a lot though. I am not sure about tge beach but if the tide is right it should be ok for running from near the castle to some way towards Seahouses. You wouldn't want to run in the other direction because there are lots of rocks and beyond that the sans is very soft - hard going when walking.

Amazing CBDB, I was over the moon to read your 5k post, it's amazing, huge congratulations πŸŽŠπŸŽ‰πŸ₯³πŸ’ͺπŸ’ͺπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ…πŸ…πŸ…πŸ…πŸ…πŸΎπŸ₯‚

My comfy pace 5k takes me about 45 minutes, slow is definitely better, it means you don't run out of steam and finish your runs feeling good rather than exhausted and aching.

You are doing so, so well with the LEJoG tour too, enjoy your beach run 😁

Congratulations again on the 5k, happy running πŸ₯³πŸŽ‰πŸŽŠπŸ’ͺπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ’ͺπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ…πŸΎπŸ₯‚πŸ˜Š

Awwwhhh thank you!!! 😊 πŸ™πŸ₯° So nice!! Comfy paces are my favourite!!! So I’m lucky that it still is the only pace I have. 🀣

Next week I’ll start the c25k+ stepping stone podcasts, but I’m not sure I can run to 165, or even 155. I might just about manage 150 but I’m sure it’ll be fun!

Thanks so, so much!!! We will run on!! πŸ˜πŸ™πŸŒπŸƒπŸΏβ€β™€οΈ

5k , 60 minutes of running. Well done you. Oh to try a beach run , it would be brilliant. I see other people's runs along by the sea and it looks amazing.

Good luck with your LEJOG challenge πŸ‘πŸ‘

Thanks 😊 ☺️ yes, the time to just imagine running on the beach will hopefully be replaced by the real thing soon!

Aren’t you doing well? i’m loving watching people progress in this, I ran on the beach and it wasn’t as flat and smooth as it looked from a distance I got very wet

πŸ˜‚πŸ€£yeah, maybe it’s one of those things which always looks so great but once you do it yourself .... you realise all the things that weren’t in the picture. πŸ–Ό 🌊 πŸ– But just the thought of running whilst smelling the sea.... mmmhhh...
