Wow, youโ€™ve done 50K already! I had a quick tally and Iโ€™ve only done 35 k! Thatโ€™s brilliant, well done ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

I've been able to run, every other day so far, weather for thur not looking good! ๐ŸŒง๐ŸŒง๐ŸŒง

Well done that man!- you're certainly knocking those 'K's' off pretty fast- well done๐Ÿ‘

Wish I was up to doing 7k each time I went for a run- I've challenged myself to do 35 miles on Race at your pace this month (did 28 in December) - but it's looking dicey atm!- good on you for getting through the 'K's'

Peter44 profile image
Peter44Graduate10 in reply to Teresafaith

56km will be a good total, i'm not at work right now, so have loads of time to run. The first few km's of my runs, are still quite hard work ๐Ÿฅต and dont really have any hills to climb either! ๐Ÿคฃ

Teresafaith profile image
TeresafaithGraduate10 in reply to Peter44

I only do one 5-6k a week and two shorter 30 minute runs- went out today in horrid mist rain and wind and was SO much slower than the 6k I did on sunday. I'll get there whenever, just hope i can get the 56k done this month๐Ÿฅด

Peter44 profile image
Peter44Graduate10 in reply to Teresafaith

Well, just going out in that rain/wind today, is good, i remember a run like that, and could barely see where i was going! ๐Ÿคฃ apart from one major soaking i got, i've been lucky with the weather, from the start of c25k.

Teresafaith profile image
TeresafaithGraduate10 in reply to Peter44

Decided to go out in that weather today because since 'lockdown' began, my run route has been packed with people I've never seen before in my life!!!!- not a soul to be seen today in that weather ๐Ÿ‘

Peter44 profile image
Peter44Graduate10 in reply to Teresafaith

I know what you mean, keeps them inside, i was having to do alot of people dodging along canal on sundays run, some who are very put out that we run past them!!! ๐Ÿคฃ

Teresafaith profile image
TeresafaithGraduate10 in reply to Peter44

Tell me about it!- haven't seen ANY of them at all on the route in the past 6 months and I run and walk along there on a daily basis, and no-one will stand aside on the extra wide pathway so I have to run out in the road. Hey ho, the 'human condition' - very worrying! ๐Ÿค”

Peter44 profile image
Peter44Graduate10 in reply to Teresafaith

This lockdown bringing them all out, it's ironic for me, as i was only walking, during last summers lockdown, quite often along the canal, where i'm now running, but i was always polite, and friendly with the runners! ๐Ÿคฃ

Teresafaith profile image
TeresafaithGraduate10 in reply to Peter44

Exactly the same for me- walking all year where I now run, and I always stood aside for runners and waved out to them - and the runners were always so thankful . Nobody EVER stands aside for me when I'm running - I just get a look of abject 'defiance' that says "I ain't movin for no-one" ๐Ÿ˜ค

Peter44Graduate10 in reply to Teresafaith

What can we do! ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธYou must have started c25k, about same time as me, I was 7th sept. ๐Ÿค”

TeresafaithGraduate10 in reply to Peter44

Yes I was around that date too- but you are doing way more mileage than me now- and faster, too๐ŸŒโ˜น๏ธ

Peter44 profile image
Peter44Graduate10 in reply to Teresafaith

Mainly because i'm of work atm, with schools shut, otherwise i'd be doing late, dark, evening runs, so probably not so long, and i'm still pretty slow, but happy with my pace. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Thanks, well the target was 50k, so will push on through rest of jan, see where i get to. ๐Ÿค”

GrannyhugsGraduate10 in reply to Peter44

I challenge you to 100k, as you've reached 10k previously as long as the snow and ice hold off you can do it ๐Ÿ™†โ€โ™€๏ธ try, I know it's hard, to go slower at the start.

Peter44 profile image
Peter44Graduate10 in reply to Grannyhugs

Accepted, 100k it is then!!! ๐Ÿ˜Š

Oops, sorry. I'm in this with you. I've reached 100k for the last 11 months so this is an important one for me. Let's go carefully

I enjoyed Laura during c25k but have run unplugged ever since, other than my monthly target I like to run my own runs

I'm afraid i also ditched laura ๐Ÿคฃ now just use nrc to map runs, tell me splits, my music, and more recently, chatting with my daughter. โ˜บ

Amazing! You've done it and we're not even half way through Jan ๐Ÿ’ฅ๐ŸฆŒ๐Ÿ’ฅ๐ŸฆŒ That is really impressive and you should feel so proud. Some serious running km's achieved so far..I am looking forward to see what your end of month total is going to be! As you say, think about where we were through C25K and all those little milestones that felt like mammoth hurdles at the time, and now THIS ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’ช I am going to check Strava now to see how many km's I've done so far ๐Ÿคฃthis is a good game! The 5km I thrashed out this morning was very much a maintenance run and a case of getting out there and getting it done.

Thatโ€™s great to have got to 50k already, youโ€™re really into it now-when I look back at the first posts I can believe how far weโ€™ve come and that we didnโ€™t really start following each other until the dreaded week 5 run 3- so weโ€™ve definitely done well! I need to get out tomorrow for a run !

Peter44Graduate10 in reply to Bambi2020

Very well done. I am trying to do 5K everyday for January, and I am walking one day running the next. Walking as fast as I can I am around 44 minutes and running I am aiming for 30-32 minutes. I am aiming to do 155K by the end of the month. I have 51 k done so far and will do my run this evening.But you have ran 50K, that is fantastic. You are right we have come a long way since starting C25K.

Thanks Damien, that's a fast pace, for your 5k walks, i've actualy been walking too, in between run days, although i missed saturdays walk, went to sainsburys, but cant really count that ๐Ÿคฃ 155k will be a great total, i've stopped using strava for my walks atm, as it automaticaly adds to my pan can total, and wanted it to be just running.
