Run 2 speed run to the river

[SueAppleRun]

My neighbour walked, I did the second run of my HM plan. The weather was perfect and the view as I ran under the bridge beautiful. 5 min warm up, I walked and faffed about with music etc. 1 min run at 5k pace and 1 minute recover which I walked. 8 times then 30 seconds run fast and walk, I walked back to meet my neighbour then we continued so she walked 5k

Drinking loads of water

Have a good run or rest this weekend

That looks like a nice place to walk or run, and it looks flat. Well done

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Doris8]

Yes it's lovely thanks

[Sulley101 Graduate10]

That looks lovely Sola. 😁 I said I would never be interested in doing a HM, but your posts have tempted me to maybe give the NRC plan a go! I recall a while back that someone posted a link to a google sheet version of the plan. Wondering if anyone could point me towards it?

Good luck with your HM journey 😁.

[LottieMW Ambassador in reply to Sulley101]

the google plan is for the 10k…NRC for some bizarre reason don’t have their 10k plan linked. The HM plan is a proper linked plan…find it on the app under plans! 😊

I think the 10k is under pinned posts…

Edit: here’s the link…

Thanks for replying. I just love my spreadsheets and thought I could download the HM plan so I could track progress add lots of info on each run. I’ll just manually add into my existing spreadsheet run tracker. 😁

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Sulley101]

The app tracks what you've done, I made a spreadsheet though so I can see at a glance if I'm progressing or going backwards, with doing a lot I might just get slower and slower 😀

Plan

[Sulley101 Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

Thanks Sola. Not sure how I’ll cope with a speed run- I only have one pace, whether it’s 5k or 10k!

[LottieMW Ambassador in reply to Sulley101]

I suggest starting with “First Fartlek Run” with Coach Bennett…after a slow warm up run, you spend 10 minutes changing through all the different paces…or ‘efforts’ as CB likes to remind us!

[Sulley101 Graduate10 in reply to LottieMW]

Thanks. Will try that first.👍

[dijep Graduate10]

Great work, well done.What a view under that bridge 👍 It just makes me want to know what's round the bend.

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to dijep]

I went round the bend, and there's another bend but I went much further for the 10k and can't wait for the longer runs again

[Beachcomber66 Graduate10]

Great work Sola. The plan holds no terrors for you.👍

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Beachcomber66]

Not at all, I'm loving it

[Beachcomber66 Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

🥳

[LottieMW Ambassador]

The little speed runs are fun aren’t they? I like the mix of runs 🙂

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to LottieMW]

Yes me too I'm really excited about this plan

[LottieMW Ambassador in reply to SueAppleRun]

I did “just a run” yesterday from W3 yesterday…I’m hoping to run my 10K tomorrow…I’ll borrow it from W4! 😂

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to LottieMW]

That's great progress 👍 it's early days for me but this plan is great

[Roxdog Graduate10]

That sounds like fun. Just after I graduated, a friend made me do speed intervals with him and it definitely helped me a lot. Maybe I'll join you!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Roxdog]

It's a lovely adaptable plan I love the speed runs

[MissUnderstanding Administrator Graduate10]

Great run for you! Those intervals are challenging but so much fun. I always get such a grin at the end-maybe that’s relief that it’s over! Hoping to try that run this week too. I’ll think of you!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to MissUnderstanding]

I too was grinning I walked the recovery parts and so enjoyed it, enjoy yours

[MissUnderstanding Administrator Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

I always walk the recovery part unless it’s a hill workout where running downhill doesn’t feel so much of an effort!!! Thanks for the good wishes-I’ll post about how it goes.

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to MissUnderstanding]

Brilliant, I'd forgotten about the hill repeats, last time I found the steepest hill I could, ran up then walked back down, again and again, and got further up the hill the more I did

[Irishprincess Graduate10]

Great view 😍 Well done on your second run ✅

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Irishprincess]

Thank you, it's beautiful

[Sandraj39 Graduate10]

Well done you! Beautiful day and great view.😍

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Sandraj39]

Thanks it was great 😃

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate10]

Super location... super run... well done you!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Thank you it's been a busy day 🙂

[johnt46 Graduate10]

Well done Sola, I take my hat off to you!! I admire your tenacity, and I know you will come through with “Flying “ colours. If I ever get off the IC, I will certainly look at that plan, it has been my intention to do a HM for the last two years, but injuries keep getting in the way. Will look forward to your progress!!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to johnt46]

Thank you, I just get out and plod on

[Beatlesforever Graduate10]

Ooooh I remember that run on the HM plan! I thought I'd get a bit bored with so many reps but I actually really enjoyed it. Hope you're enjoying your HM training 😊

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Beatlesforever]

I'm loving it thanks, the good weather helps,

[Folkylass Graduate10]

Well done Sola! Beautiful weather and that looks so lovely and flat!🥰

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Folkylass]

It is a little less flat than it looks but you'd only notice if you were running 🤣Thank you I enjoyed it very much

[Folkylass Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

👏👏🥰
