Goodness Me! I've done it!

Such a lovely morning here in Norfolk. I decided to get out and make the most of the last day of summer.

I tried a slightly longer circular route through the fields. There's one bit where the footpath runs right across the middle of the field which is now ploughed - including the footpath 😑. So I stomped as much as poss over other people's footprints to make the path clearer.

When I got back home my watch said 62 mins. Hurray! I've got to the end of the timed magic plan! You could have knocked me over with a feather (particularly as my legs stopped holding me up when I stopped πŸ˜‚).

So I'll be moving across to the distance magic plan. That's going to be even harder and is going to need some repeat weeks I think.

But today, I think I'll just bask in my current victory. And maybe find a nice sunny place in the garden to rest my poor old legs 😁.

Congratulations on an epic achievement! An hour on your feet is really something. Hopefully you are delighted 😊😊😊 have a great rest of day too. You'll be fine with the distance plan. Just go steady and a slow comfy pace more often than not.

Thanks GTFC. I'm not very good at judging my pace and often set off too fast but it's all part of a learning curve isn't it.

in reply to Lifluf

Absolutely! You're doing brilliantly. Try some runs now (especially longer ones) at a purposefully slower pace. It seems strange at first but if you can do this the benefits are enormous.

I'm already really slow GTFC. I was just a shade off 7k in 62 mins. But I think I need and can start slower - it's my only hope to get further.😊

Congratulations 🎊 πŸŽ‰ 🎈

What a lovely day to achieve your 60 minute running goal well done 😊 πŸ‘ πŸ‘

I know that feeling when the farmer ploughs the path and the field 😑It takes ages to tread back into a path.

Hope you found some sin for your legs to enjoy πŸ˜‰

Thanks djep. Just finished my day in lazy fashion pottering in the garden. Don't think my legs could have managed anything more strenuousπŸ˜‚

Fantastic, you superstar! So good, and you will be great on the distance plan Juju’s plan isn’t β€˜magic’ for nothing 😍πŸ₯³πŸ€©πŸ₯‚

Thanks HappyNoodle. I think it will take me a bit longer than she says. I'm going to slot into week 3 as a consolidation week and see how it goes.

Well done on cracking the 60 minute run barrier! That is really some achievement. 7k is perfectly respectable as well - well I say that because that's what I did in 60 mins as well :)

I'm sure you'll enjoy moving over to the distance plan and will be at 10k before you know it. I'd give you a medal but I'm on my laptop and it doesn't do emojis....

Thanks. Yes I'd have laughed if someone suggested I run the distances I am doing now. I think the next stages to 10k will take me a little longer than the magic plan design but I'm in no rush.

Well done Lifluf on your 62 minute run! ⭐🍾 I am a Norfolk girl too so thought I'd say hi. I bet you enjoyed that little bit of stomping! How lucky are we living in Norfolk ☺️. Happy running!

Thanks Runjilly. Yes I'm very lucky with the choice of footpaths and quiet roads to run and enjoy the space and countryside. We are definitely in a good place here in Norfolk.
