FIrst 8K

[Rennur]

Doing my semi Jeffing again. Managed 8.3K. Took 77 minutes, but most important - NO INJURIES - hope I can say the same tomorrow. Not much strength exercises were undertaken yesterday. But I did paint my other front fence (and next door's part) with three coats - so felt quite achey this morning!

Will repeat the distance next week - maybe 8.5K as I will try another route so my 10K will only be delayed one week in the second week of May - touch wood.

Well done Rennur! Injury free is brilliant. And fence painting definitely adds to the exercise equation 😀. I cleaned my balcony yesterday but a blooming pigeon has already redecorated it grrrrr. All the best! 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️

Well done on doing 8.3 km after all that painting. Jeffing the way to go. Going that way tomorrow . Happy Easter 🐣

I would say that fence painting is an excellent strength work out for the arms 💪🏼😉

Well done on your first 8K! 🥳

Congratulations on that run. 😀👍I hope you didn't get too many runs in that paint! Could someone please tell me what Jeffing is?

mariapali.co.uk/what-on-ear... is run /walk. I have been experimenting as I had 12 days off through injury and wanted to ensure I wasn't running through injury.

Thank you, at last I no, I've seen several posts referring to it and they've just left me scratching my head.

Well done! I did my first 8k today as well. Felt like I could have kept going but also keen to avoid injury. Good work!

That adrenaline can play naughty tricks.

Well done Rennur

😀

That’s a great run Rennur👍Staying injury free is the most important thing. May is only a few weeks off and you will be completing the big 10k 😊

[RacingintheStreet Graduate10]

Well done on the 8K 💪 and most importantly staying injury free .I’m on a similar journey and keeping it gradual as I did not like the Injury Couch one bit 😂🏃🏻‍♀️

[Fionamags Graduate10]

That was great - sounded like you really enjoyed that!

Well done and that with more painting exercise in the body! Sounds like you have your own set off run-free-day-exercises, haha. How many fences are there in your neighbourhood? You might have to go to the next town if all is painted! 😉

I live in South London - there are plenty of fences here! I have been walking and then scarifying the patch(es) of grass in front of our gaff today.
