🥶🥶🥶🥶 I was forewarned by fellow runners reporting very cold runs!
👩💻And after 5 day rest due to a heavy late-night-work week at work, but which also benefitted my knee niggles, I ran my first ever real interval 5k (apart from the stepping stone podcasts)
🏁This is part of the preparation for the 10k Race at the Easter Festival of Running by Runderwear which have designed their own working plan : runderwear.co.uk/pages/fest...
❄️ I am a week behind dijep but today I finally started. It was very cold and icy 🥶🥶🥶 (see picture of icy stream I ran alongside) and as an ultra slow runner 🐢 I feel that my bandwidth of different speeds between jogging and sprinting is probably much smaller than anyone else’s. So I assume what is my 3/10 and 7/10 is somebody else’s 3/10 and 4/10.
🧟♀️ But it was fun, specifically as I programmed the intervals into my ZombieRun App, so I had Zombies chasing me as well!
🚀 But I did run one of two fastest 5ks. So it must be working.
🏃🏽♀️On RunLEJOG I’m finally entering Wales 🏴!
🏃🏽♀️ On Hadrian’s Wall I’m half-way at Muckle Moss and love that name!
Happy running everyone!

Well run CBDB it’s certainly cold out there today! 🥶 I planned a route that would give me at least a bit of protection from the biting wind down towards the seafront. I did at least have the benefit of the wind behind me for the final 2K so my plan sort of worked!🙂👍I finished my 5K in 31:16 so I was pleased with that😊
It was far too chilly to walk back from there, so I did a slow 2.2K jog so I wasn’t too tired but didn’t get too cold either. It’s a fine line between those two!😀
I’m doing LEJOG4 and I’m just north of the Cairngorms National Park in the virtual world, so under 150 miles to go!🏃♂️
I’m also doing the Runderwear Festival at Easter so I’ll see you on the virtual start line for that😊
Ohh nice, so as far as I know it’s you, dijep and me doing the runderwear festival. Have you seen their Instagram feed where they drop videos of Pilates for runners and other things?
Thanks CBDB, I haven’t seen that as I’m not on Instagram, but I think they emailed me about anyway. I’ll see if I can find their email and have a look! 👍
Yeah, I know I was a bit greedy, but I have to admit that after seeing so many runners getting their bling, and the likely scenario that I wouldn’t be able to finish LEJOG in the allocated 1 year time and thus not getting a medal, I just needed to enter a race for that very first runner medal!
(I did get a first ever medal a few weeks ago as I indoor-rowed the English Channel, so yes, greedy 🤣🤣)
It's certainly very cold out there today, I'm glad I went yesterday. Well done for getting out and on your speedy 5k 👍I decided to use my HR Zones as the "effort" that the plan suggested and programed them into the workout on my watch.
I really will have to try the Zombie run sometime 😉🏃♀️🧟♂️
Yeah! Zombies are good fun. I don’t monitor my HR Zones, as I don’t have a Garmin. Just my smartphone. But I can tell from my breathing pretty much where I am, I think, and this is probably easier as I don’t have such big difference in speed between slow jogging and sprinting.
I'm going to have the seat on the IC well warmed by the time I'm able to run again 😬 hip properly suffering from overdoing it on the hill training- what a way to learn 😥 I'm going to need that patience- thank you for sending me some! 😁👍 I will continue to cheer you on through my rehab 📣😁🤗
