RunLEJOG: delights all around

[CBDB]

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 2021🙂👍

Nice! We can all meet up in Virtual John O’Groats! I’m sure there must be a nice pub somewhere in town....🍺👍🏼😀

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 50K👍😊🏃🏾

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

Thank you, yes I can just about see the 50 mile mark!

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

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to Frizzbomb67]

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). 😂

Glad you're enjoying the podcasts with Laura. Happy running to you to😊😊

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to Buddy34]

Yes, learned to run with Laura as part of the Str & Flex, as I was a Jo Wiley runner at C25k. 😊😀👍🏼

Well done CBDB! Running in Cornwall at this time of year must be ‘virtually’ lovely!

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to Oldgirlruns]

It is, especially at 145 BPM (my favourite pace)! 😀😊👍🏼

That’s great, I’m loving seeing these LeJog posts,

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

Awwhh 😍 thank you. Yes, this forum is better than a book! (And that’s saying a lot as I’m a book 📖 📚 lover!) But I just love reading everyone’s small and gigantic successes! Happy running to you both! 🏃‍♀️ 🏃🏻‍♂️

Yay, another great run.

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to Overweightandunfit]

Thank you! I have yet to experience really awful runs! 😀🙏😊

Hi CBDB!! Cornwall is certainly looking beautiful 🤩🤩🥰! 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! 😁❤️

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to Fabulous450]

😏 (whispers: I am) 🤣

I am super slow but that’s ok. My condition has made me rather ‘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 🙏

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to CBDB]

You’re doing great CBDB!! The thing about running is it doesn’t care about size and we just love to do it!! Onwards LEJOG!! We’re getting there and seeing some amazing places on the way too!! 🥰🥰❤️

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to Fabulous450]

Absolutely! And having a lot of fun!!! Especially running with this community! 🥰🙏🏃🏻‍♀️
