I thought to run 20 minutes today to give my calve still some slack. But that was not taking into account my stubborness. 30 minutes it became, I just wanted to finish my challenge so much!
I also added some fartleks and combined with some rain it gave me a fastest mile and a fastest kilometer. In 30 minutes I did 3,63 km, which is indeed a longer distance than I normally do in 30 minutes.
So my Conqueror challenge Mount Kilimanjaro is finished! So proud of myself and now I can start waiting for my bling! I also decided to do next the shorter distances of Conqueror so I can fill my medal-box a bit and when I have done all the challenges below Kilimanjaro, I'll continue with the longer distances coming behind Kilimanjaro.
Oh right, my calve was a good little boy and did not give a peep. So me happy. I also ordered a foam roller, both for the calve and my nasty piriformis.
Well done Evy, that’s brilliant. And you get bling! Foam rollers are fantastic, I swear by them, I have a smooth one and a knobbly one which is hard going sometimes but it really helps. All the best 😊🏃♀️👏🏼👍🦶🎉
Thanks! I ordered a knobbly one as I saw those being used on internet most. So I thought it might be better. I might find it too painfull though. I'll know on Monday!
I ordered one (should arrive on Monday) because I saw/read about you and Instructor buying one. I bought a knobbly one because I saw that one being promoted the most. Don't know if it won't be too painfull for me though...
I guess I better not put my full weight on it at first. Tried my calve with a can of deo this morning. Ankles crossed and full weight on my calve. Thought my calve was dying!
Had not seen it yet, will keep it in mind. But the side part might be too much for me. People can't even tickle me because it hurts me instead of feeling ticklish. Yeah, I am weird 😁
Well done Evy glad your calf didn’t play up. Have got a foam roller but I think too big it’s a smooth. Is a knobbly one better for piriformis or smooth👏?
I honestly don't know. I bought a knobbly one (medium hardness) because that was what I saw when looking them up. But I don't know if it won't be too painfull for me. I am rather sensitive, haha. It should arrive on Monday, very curious...
It is not real, just in case you would think so. It is a challenge of running 97 km in a time you set yourself wherever you want. You get virtual postcards with information of where you virtually are. And when you reach the chosen distance, you get a medal. This time it was the Kilimanjaro challenge, next time maybe Gizeh, I don't know yet.
So you can do it too, get information about the tracks and such on Kilimanjaro. 😉
