I would like to join the Quest, or, count me in! I want to ..............
Every week I will put up a new post and we can all chat about how we are doing.
It's been a good week so far for me, in so far as i have managed to keep my run frequency up higher than its previously been although i am a little busier now towards the end of the week and unfortunately working the bank holidays Ahh well.
Also today will be day 5 of my James Dunne 30 day challenge Strength and Mobility plan which i am doing along with several other forum members !
So, How’s it been going for you ?

Yes, we’re having a lot of ‘fun’ with James Dunne (it rhymes! 😁) over at the Strength and Flexibility forum, aren’t we? Although I still have to catch up on day 5! healthunlocked.com/strength...
My quests:
1) keep my 5/2/2, which is becoming my formula. (Minimum of 2 runs, 2 yoga sessions, 5 rows per week) . I think I have to be better at recovery days though, as I’m wanting to row or run every day!
2) my undisclosed fitness thing is going well at the moment, will post soon. (It’s not that big of a deal, but big enough for me to hold myself to account here)
3) progress on my C25k journey, Zombies,Run version: I’m now on Week 3 of 8, run 1.
And last week I started an additional one with you all on S&F:
4) continue the 30 day challenge by James Dunne for strength and mobility ( first sign-up link: healthunlocked.com/strength... )
That’s it. We’ll be having a wonderfully relaxed Easter with family at home. Hope everyone is having a great Easter!
Well, events have meant that the whole 'be sensible, recover' goal has additional salience as I have a proper streaming cold. I am not sure about the 'be sensible' element as I have been behaving a little like a person of normal health (I even went out one evening!) but I would much rather feel ill as a result of doing lovely stuff. And the bug I got at home.
The evening walks are starting to happen though, and I am going into the Festival of Chocolate and Simnel Cake at a lower weight than I feared. So whilst it is all a bit dull in terms of goals, I am happy.
Week 3 already? I’ve run and walked this last week so my quest is to run and walk again this coming week , off to the jolly old hospital on 23 and 26 and it will involve men with knives and a bit of a sleep so next week won’t be up to much but will have time to read posts
Thanks, flipping hope so but it won’t be the last time with the men and knives but I think the end is in sight, at least with all the tests they’ve done I know that every other part of me is in tip top form
Hi, Hope everyone is well and questing into spring. I’ve really enjoyed seeing the fruit blossoms in the little community mini orchard - especially joyful in the sunshine.
Since last week I’ve run alternate days: 5k, 6k, 5.5k (so that’s 5 runs since returning). My ankle is still feeling comfortable. I’ve been given the go-ahead to start to rebuild my distances - carefully and gradually. I’ve done a couple of strides to test how the speed feels - also good, but I’ll keep things gentle for a couple of weeks, I think. So, I’m not yet back on my NRC HM plan, which involves speedwork, but I’ve found something called the ‘April Stack’. I’ve done most of these coached runs already, but it gives me a little challenge to focus on while I resettle. Come May, hopefully, I should be ready to segue back into the HM plan.
I’ve got my physio exercises - now updated with lots of jumping variations while also continuing with some of the ‘essentials’. Plus, I’ve also joined the 30-day challenge on S&F; stage one complete!
Hi I57, still doing my best :)If I do the Parkrun tomorrow that'll be 3 runs this week. If I oversleep I'll do at least another 5k so that'll still be 3 runs this week.
Although this is Week 3 of the quest it'll only be the 16th tomorrow and all being well I should have run more than 25km by the end of the day so I'm on track for 50 km this month.
As for the elusive 10k...put it this way, it's not impossible, I'm just waiting for inspiration to carry my feet those extra km. I've done 8km in the past (months ago now) so know there's no reason I can't do another couple. I could blame Mr Yes, he just loves running for 5km so persuading him to do the extra distance is an issue. I suppose I could just carry on running and let him go home but I've sort of got out of the habit of long runs on my own.
Leave it with me. I'll sort it out I'll report next week
Where has the time gone! I’m YWA most days plus the JD for fun!! And should have done three runs but thwarted by a call from Dads careline yesterday so had to do a dash round there 😩 but psyching myself to go this morning I’ve downloaded a run so m nearly there!! Ps Dad had flooded the bathroom he said bathrooms are supposed to be wet !! Just a flood alarm shrieking and ignoring the careline speaking to him to alert him to turn the taps off !! Alzheimer’s is difficult !! Thank god for running 🙌🏻
Still here... Week 7 Magic Plan, not quite complete.
Run 3 should have been today but a tad weary and a tad achy so, I just ran... another 5K...it was enjoyable and for me, right now, that is just fine. Glorious morning and glorious views. The castle is still where it always is... just like in my other million photographs
Hopefully will do the 9K on Wednesday.
Happy, safe running all x
Criccieth Castle... still beautiful after all these years!
Hi, just checking in... I'm finding running is still very much on the back burner (not being done 🙄) I am finding time and enjoying YWA still.
Throat still uncomfortable and nasal drip thing going on which interferes with my sleep... a busy week spending time with daughter and family. Precious times 💙
My Quest is now to get better. I know I will run as soon as I get chance ( when Mr Bbr goes off to play golf) hopefully next week!
