Rain and multiple 5ks

[CBDB]

Two firsts for me:

- it finally rained heavily on a run of mine! So I can now also say: brill! Fun rain runs!

- my 5k run was the second this week, so this is the first time for me running two 5k runs in one week!

I’m getting there!

It is amazing how fitness encroaches on you! 😃💪🏃🏻‍♀️

[Elfe5 60minGraduate]

Fantastic! 👍🏻💪🏻😄

Long may the fitness encroachment keep encroaching! 😄

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to Elfe5]

Indeed! 😃 Thanks @Elfe5 !🙏

Well done - it's addicitive! I'm still not running again but I am managing a couple of 7-8k walks each week so it's something.

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to Overweightandunfit]

Yes. And this morning (when it didn’t rain) I was even thinking of replacing a run with a workout. But during lunchtime the sky finally clouded over (🤣) and I just thought, everyone else on HU has such fun in the rain, so I should try this out!

Sorry that you still have to be patient about running, but wow! 7-8k walks is amazing!! 🤩

[Over62]

That’s fantastic CBDB, all your hardwork is being rewarded in a greatly improved fitness level for you. Glad you had a great fun run in the rain🏃🏻‍♀️👏👍💦

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to Over62]

Yeah! I think my next phase will be about slowly (very slowly) extending lengths towards 10k. It just feels now as if this is feasible!

[David_G]

Lovely, well done CBDB running in the rain is great fun!

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to David_G]

Indeed! On my last 5k run on Sat I wanted rain, but it had stopped! 😠

[Beatlesforever Graduate10]

Brilliant, well done! 👏👏👏 it's amazing, isn't it, just a few weeks back you probably would've laughed if someone said you'd be doing two 5k's in one week! Long may it continue 👍🏃‍♀️ I'm having to take some time off because of my foot 👣😭 hoping to be back out there next week 🤞

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to Beatlesforever]

Absolutely! So true! I know that last time Juju started a running group with the magic plan (ca 8-9 weeks ago?) I decided to continue consolidating, but if a new magic plan group would be started tomorrow, I’d be the first to sign up as it suddenly feels doable! And just that feels great!

Hope you’re back running soon! I’m sending you ‘patience’.

[Beatlesforever Graduate10 in reply to CBDB]

Thank you, I do need that patience 👍 not my strong suit 🙈

Given what you've achieved already, you'll have no problem with the magic plan if you decided to go down that route. I completed it on my own and I thoroughly recommend it! 😃

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to Beatlesforever]

Took your advice, added my passion for planning and spent an evening collating a plan combining JuJu’s Magic plan with my workout plan. I finish with my current plan tomorrow so onwards to the new plan! (I’ll post it once I start) So thank you for the nudge! 🙏

Foot - in my internet and forum trawling I’ve come across quite a few sitting workout plans or workouts whilst on the injury couch. You probably have seen them, but if not and if you’re interested, let me know. 🤕🤒

[Beatlesforever Graduate10 in reply to CBDB]

Nice one! Looking forward to seeing your new plan 👍 😃

Oooh if you have any links, please do let me know, I've got some exercises for PF but it's good to have as many workouts as possible while on the IC 👣

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to Beatlesforever]

Let’s see if i can add all the links here, most of them are video workouts, the first NHS link is just guidance for runners to typical injuries.

Oh so pleased you had a fun rainy run & 2 5ks too! You must be delighted! Bring on the next frr! 🎉💥🤸

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to Blossom-]

I am! Come what may. Rain 🌧 , storms 💨 , snow ❄️ , sun 🌞 ! Bring on longer runs!

[MoliJ Graduate10]

Well done. Running in the rain is not too bad is it? Good luck with your quest to get to 10k.

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to MoliJ]

Quite fun actually, but then it was not too cold. I’ll see how it goes through winter, my first running winter! Thanks!
