B210K - W2R2

Consolidation Run 22 🏃‍♂️

B210K - W2R2

Weekly Virtual 5K

(not) ParkRun

5K 🎯

I’m not sure if it was the three 🍻 last night or running a short 1 mile yesterday on my rest day but my body was achey today 😖

Because of this I decided to have a rest day today but after popping on here and seeing everyone’s efforts I changed my mind. Everyone is pushing through with their runs whilst dealing with all kinds of things in their lives so I can get over a few niggles 🤭

I knew I needed to be pushed by my music choice so I opted for a 167BPM playlist 🎵 and had told myself I’d be happy with a sub 6 minute per K and a sub 30 minute 5K.

Although my body was aching and I felt like today was a bit of a struggle the music must have down the trick ✅

I’m really really happy with this run and I will be treating myself with a lovely long hot soak in the bath 🛀 followed by some (naughty) nice food and a relaxing film 🍿

Happy running all! 🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♂️

That is so fast, we can only dream of those sort of times

Thanks WillowandSola 🙏🏻 I have a lot of stress to run off!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to PhoenixRise]

Me too but it comes with a heap of exhaustion at the moment

[Jools2020 Graduate10]

Awesome run! I have to admit I will only ever be that fast in my dreams (8:40 was my average today, fastest split 7:58). You definitely deserve that long hot soak!

Thanks WeavingWonk 🙏🏻 Congratulations 🥳 on your 6K today! I plan to ease off the gas a bit once I start going above the 5K 😉

[WeavingWonk Graduate10 in reply to PhoenixRise]

The best I can do for short sprints is about 7:00. It's funny because I am 6' and all leg, and my cadence is about 170spm. So I must just be taking very short steps! I suspect i will go further with each step once my glutes etc are stronger. Without changing anything other than that pushing off will carry me further!

I’m 5’6 (on a good day! 🤭). I’m sure the Ave. Pace will naturally come down filling the B210K plan what with the mix of shorter interval runs and the longer runs 🤞🏻

Many thanks GTFC 🙏🏻 Congratulations 🥳 on your marathon! Amazing work! 💪 A long way off for me but maybe one day 🤞🏻

Hope you’ve had a relaxing evening. You will probably be in trouble later if the admin get wind of you running two days in a row😱. Good job done anyway. 👍
