Recovery 3K

Hiya,

After my 14K (2h) on Saturday, I did a slow recovery 3K today. Long since I did such a short run, felt a bit useless to dress up for such a distance. But I did it nevertheless.

Am thinking to do a 5K on Wednesday and then take rest until Saturday / Sunday when I will try for my first 10 miles.

Cheers, Evy

Nice short run for you today Evy, like you I will run a 5K on Wednesday but only another 5K, not 10 miles on Saturday.

Enjoy your 5K!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

The 5K on Wednesday will be my 76th (not) parkrun, the Saturday 5K will be my 31st official parkrun, you are allowed to run both in the same week.

A shorter recovery run is good, and sounds like you have a great plan

I still dress up for my 3km runs.

[Hidden in reply to nowster]

I was wearing clothes 😉

[Yesletsgo Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Bit nippy otherwise 😂

I don't know about you, but people tend to object when I don't. 😜

Well done Evy, I enjoy recovery runs! There’s no pressure and we can just pootle along 😁😁😁.

[Hidden in reply to Frenc]

It was hard not to go faster, my second km was fast but I was able to slow down in my third again.

What a great way to start a post. "After my 14k......". Just brilliant 😀

Good luck with your 10 miles Evy 👍

Here hoping next week your post will read "After my 10 miles ..." 🤞🙂

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

If my 10 miles happens (big if), I will take a week off from running. Give myself a short rest 😉

[Instructor57 Graduate10]

Always nice to do a short recovery run , nice and gentle with no pressure or targets .😁👍

[Hidden in reply to Instructor57]

True ☺

Nice wee 3 km run for you. I dress up leggings etc even on my walks too hot in jeans. Good luck on your 10 miles

[Hidden in reply to Doris8]

Thanks, I did dress up. Just find 3K so little now 😂. If you told me that a year ago...

[Doris8 Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

You’re doing “brill”

[Raisemeup 60minGraduate]

That sounds like a good plan for a strong and confident runner - congratulations on all that you have achieved so far. I think we will soon be reading of your completed 10 miles and I wish you another great run. No advice needed as you seem to have a realistic, sensible, winning approach - best wishes ☺️.

Thanks! 😊

Great short run to recover. Looking forward to next weeks 10 mile post. Good luck take care and enjoy.

[Hidden in reply to Scruff55]

No pressure 😂

[Scruff55 60minGraduate in reply to Hidden]

🤣none whatsoever 🤣🤣

I think 3K runs have got a bad press. Once I get to doing a longer run at the weekend I will force myself to go less than 4K. Good thinking Evy.

[Hidden in reply to Rennur]

I indeed never do 3K. A short week run is for me 5K. But after a long (long) run it can be good to keep it short for a run.
