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 ๐Ÿ˜œ!

And Iโ€™m soon to hit the 50k mark! Slowly but surely!

Happy running everyone!

Lovely post CBDB sounds like you had a great time! Iโ€™m trundling along quite happily and Iโ€™ve just gone past the 100 mile mark. See you in virtual John Oโ€™Groats at some time in 2021๐Ÿ™‚๐Ÿ‘

Nice! We can all meet up in Virtual John Oโ€™Groats! Iโ€™m sure there must be a nice pub somewhere in town....๐Ÿบ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ˜€

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 50K๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿพ

Iโ€™m enjoying the speed podcast too and find the slow bits do let you have a nice little rest ๐Ÿ˜‚ No surviving in the wild for me though. Sounds like โ€˜virtualโ€™ fun.

Yes, I can see why the speed podcast seems to be the most popular of the C5k+ podcasts. Iโ€™ll do them another two times... and then Iโ€™m in free-fall again (without a training program). ๐Ÿ˜‚

Yes, learned to run with Laura as part of the Str & Flex, as I was a Jo Wiley runner at C25k. ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ

Well done CBDB! Running in Cornwall at this time of year must be โ€˜virtuallyโ€™ lovely!

Awwhh ๐Ÿ˜ thank you. Yes, this forum is better than a book! (And thatโ€™s saying a lot as Iโ€™m a book ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ“š lover!) But I just love reading everyoneโ€™s small and gigantic successes! Happy running to you both! ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Hi CBDB!! Cornwall is certainly looking beautiful ๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿฅฐ! Very nice!! ๐Ÿคฉ

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! ๐Ÿ˜โค๏ธ

๐Ÿ˜ (whispers: I am) ๐Ÿคฃ

I am super slow but thatโ€™s ok. My condition has made me rather โ€˜outwardly bigโ€™ - as my son used to say (e.g. overweight) - so Iโ€™m pretty chuffed with how itโ€™s going but have to take it slow.

Also due to working full time, I just donโ€™t walk very much apart from runs and workouts.

But thanks for asking ๐Ÿ™
