RunLEJOG: delights all around

I had another delightful run this morning, running again with Laura and now with her Speed podcasts! And as the speed sections at 165 BPM only last 1 min, with a recovery minute at 155 BPM, and repeating this 6 times, it is actually doable!

Back in LEJOG land, I was scuffing picked berries, watched owls, bought some roses and learned how to survive in the wild 😜!

And I’m soon to hit the 50k mark! Slowly but surely!

Happy running everyone!

Lovely post CBDB sounds like you had a great time! I’m trundling along quite happily and I’ve just gone past the 100 mile mark. See you in virtual John O’Groats at some time in 2021πŸ™‚πŸ‘

Nice run for you today CBDB, good to know that you are using the +C25K podcasts with Laura during your Lejog runs including the speed podcasts, so you are learning to survive the wild, good for you, onwards and upwards to 50KπŸ‘πŸ˜ŠπŸƒπŸΎ

I’m enjoying the speed podcast too and find the slow bits do let you have a nice little rest πŸ˜‚ No surviving in the wild for me though. Sounds like β€˜virtual’ fun.

Yes, I can see why the speed podcast seems to be the most popular of the C5k+ podcasts. I’ll do them another two times... and then I’m in free-fall again (without a training program). πŸ˜‚

Yes, learned to run with Laura as part of the Str & Flex, as I was a Jo Wiley runner at C25k. πŸ˜ŠπŸ˜€πŸ‘πŸΌ

Hi CBDB!! Cornwall is certainly looking beautiful 🀩🀩πŸ₯°! Very nice!! 🀩

I know some are just counting runs, but do you know that you can add your daily step count in LEJOG too? I do and being able to do that has made a big difference to how much walking I do each day.

Loving seeing all of your adventures!! Enjoy! 😁❀️

😏 (whispers: I am) 🀣

I am super slow but that’s ok. My condition has made me rather β€˜outwardly big’ - as my son used to say (e.g. overweight) - so I’m pretty chuffed with how it’s going but have to take it slow.

Also due to working full time, I just don’t walk very much apart from runs and workouts.

But thanks for asking πŸ™
