Back to the training 🥳

[sparky66]

Ooh I'm so pleased to have managed my 10K run this morning, skipping injury hopefully behind me now 🤞

Set out slow and the first 5K was tough, I think I was overthinking..will the ache come back.. felt I was running a bit tenderly.. but once I got into the second 5K things got back to my normal and I managed to pickup pace a little on the last few K's 🙏

Can't tell you how happy I am to have got a longer run in, and back on track with the HM training plan 💪

Feeling good after my shower, no aches.. and my new trainers are feeling great 🏃‍♀️👏

Happy Running all 🙌🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Well done Sparky, I didn’t run this morning as I had backache all last night. Hope to run 2morrow.

Brilliant, well done on that 10k! 💪 And no sign of injury 🥳🤸‍♀️🎉👍

[Dups Graduate10]

That’s great. No aches . You do tend to go careful at first just to make sure you feel ok, and you obviously did and had a great run👍I bet it felt good in your new shoes. What is your training plan for the HM?

[sparky66 Graduate10 in reply to Dups]

Thanks Dups 👍I had got up to 10Miles the week before my injury,

wasn't really following a plan as such , I had just been increasing my distance by a K or two every week,and a less mileage week once a month..

I'm going to try 12-14K at the weekend if my midweek 5K goes ok and I'm sure I've no effects of the injury..

So dropped back a couple of weeks, just to build up again 💪🏃‍♀️🙏

How's your running been since your 10 Miles ? 💥

[Dups Graduate10]

So just increasing slowly. I sure you will build back up quickly 👍My running has been great. A PB 5k and a PB 10k yesterday. Didn’t enjoy the 10k, I had my new shoes on for time and went off way too quickly and at was really warm. So even though it was a PB it was awful. I’m used to running really early in the mornings but I was too eager to try the shoes. Lessons learnt 🥵

5k early in the morning hopefully. Does everyone do a HM non stop? I did for the 10 miles but I don’t know if I can for a HM🥵

[sparky66 Graduate10 in reply to Dups]

I know you've been doing brilliantly!!! Enjoy your 5K in the morning, mad how we call it a short run now 😂

When I run a longer run the only time I stop is for a quick drink..

I'm sure as we progress further, maybe a few more drink stops.. especially on the warmer days.. 🚰

That’s so good, your 10k is brilliant

[Wisekat Graduate10]

Well done Sparky - I did 10k this morning too and feel great for it

10k across Shiplake and Harpsden

[sparky66 Graduate10 in reply to Wisekat]

Woo woo brilliant!! Ten K is such a great distance not too short and not too long 💥

And very satisfying 🏃‍♀️
