Coach Cory and 10k rows

Two short runs for me this morning. And two wins for me yesterday.

This morning, as planned for my consolidation period (post C25k the second), I put on the NRC audio-guided plan for beginners and ran the two 20-minute runs back to back, coached by lovely coach Cory. (Ohh, I do like Coach Cory!)

The fiddling in the middle of my run, switching from one audio-run to the other, also allowed me a little stretch, a bit of picture-taking and walk, so in the end, this run for me was 2 x 20 min runs! Felt good, as if I’m back to my regular running again.

And yesterday, I managed to get two firsts in my fitness journey, but in my rowing:

I reached 10k!!!!!

And for the first time, I continually rowed for 60min!

(But there is no 60min badge or 10k badge, nor any medals ☹️, so I’ll have to think of some reward for myself. Of course, I had already rewarded myself with a set of leggings…)

Those 60minutes and 10k row passed quite fast, as I joined in with a group of treadmill runners on Zwift, who ran a 10k.

So feeling good and strong!

Keep on keeping on, everyone!

Wow, that's a great acheivement CBDB!Love your idea of 2 x 20 mins easy too, I may copy that in a few runs time...

I'm going to try a 25 min one first, the idea of 40 broken into 2 is brilliant.

🏃‍♀️🌹💪xxx

Yeah, I’m actually really glad I thought of this. Allows me to go through all training plans in the NRC and maybe cover all “worthy” audio guided runs. 🤣 I’ll be running with Coach Cory and Coach Bennet for years to come!

Yeah, I’m so glad they didn’t put it behind a paywall! There is still some dedication and passion behind those big companies, it seems.

Congratulations on your rowing 10K and absolutely loving those leggings. I’ve recently started using the NRC app after having it on my phone for ages and I’ve yet to run with coach Cory. I’m looking forward to meeting him!

Yay you're on a roll 💪👏👏👏 maybe you should ask HU for some badges for the S&F, it seems unfair that only the running forums have them 🏅

Do you know what? We have the power to create new badges! Why did I not think of this!

I can put a poll together, as maybe we want some cross-training badges over at S&F? Ideas welcome!

Thank you!
