Hello fellow runner beings

My consolidation route takes 24-25 minutes.

On non-running days I often walk it and that takes 40 minutes.

Today, to mix things up a bit, I walked/sprinted/walked using C25K Week One (nice to be back with Laura!).

Time 27 minutes and I finished feeling fine. That’s got to tell you something.

Was that a form of Jeffing? I must do it more regularly.

Happy runs 😎

I don’t know about bedding but it sounds an interesting experiment HF! Was Laura pleased to see you again?!

Bedding? I take it autocorrect got hold of Jeffing!! Laura was so nice: told me I was doing great, have some water and a day off. But not bedding!

Yes it should have been jeffing and I normally check before hitting send- predictive text is a nightmare!

Yes, the Jeff Galloway run/walk plans involve repeating intervals of running and walking in that way. Here's a pic I took from his book 'Training Programs' which shows a table of Jeff's recommendations for run:walk intervals for different paces:

People often work out their own ratios though, and using the C25K plan is a fine idea, whatever works for you!

Thank you for that roseabi - I’ll try it.

A friend has also referred to “Boy Scout running” as the fastest way of covering longer distances: 100 paces walking, then 100 paces running.

Wow! Counting your paces would also be a very 'mindful' way of running - a bit like Paula Radcliffe's counting to 100 tip bbc.co.uk/sport/athletics/2... I think it would be a bit TOO mindful for me though 😊

I learnt "Scout's pace" when I was a Guide. We had to memorise a message, then cover a specified distance and deliver the message at the end of it. My problem was that I'd get so stressed counting steps the message would go straight out of my head!

That must be what my friend was thinking of. Great story - and carrying two bits of information in our heads gets harder as the years go by. “Now why exactly did I come upstairs?” 🤔

Woo-hoooooo!!

Have you discovered the future??

Great run anyway 👏👏👏👏
