I took everybody's advice....and

[SueAppleRun]

I just ran a whole hour, no walk breaks, and enjoyed it. Slower than slow, listened to Simon and Garfunkel and left the NRC coaches at home, i wasn't going to run today but the sun is shining, its just too beautiful out there not to. There was a cool breeze on my face and shoulders as i meandered round the paths of our beautiful park, plodded round the lake, ran both sides of the little river and went a couple of times round the cycle track where C25K started for us. Happy Tuesday I'm off to collect granddaughter who asked me if I'd cut her hair today

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10]

Congratulations to you Sue on that just over 1 hour run, I am sure you enjoyed it without the NRC coaches and listening to your favourite 🎶 music ✔️🏃🏾👍

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to AlMorr]

What i enjoyed most Al was slowly running and not taking walk breaks and thank you

[Annieapple Administrator]

🍏That’s brilliant 🤩 & a few lovely memories thrown in, to make it extra special. I love the idea of running to S & G.. haven’t listened to them in ages!! Hope the haircut goes well. You are honoured to be asked 😊🤗💕

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Annieapple]

Ive cut both our hair and now dinner is on

[Jools2020 Graduate10]

You did it! Well done for slowing it right down. A good idea anyway in the heat!

Enjoying time on your feet, distance not important. Great running 👏👏👍

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Jools2020]

You are so right, i really did enjoy it more than rushing and having to take walk breaks

[Jools2020 Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

Keep doing it and you will find you speed up but still with the same effort!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Jools2020]

Im hoping so, my heartrate was mostly in the 140's which is low for me.

[Runninggirl59 60minGraduate]

Well done Sue what a great run. Plus bonus haircut, productive day! 👧🏃‍♀️🥘

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Runninggirl59]

Thank you, We've all had one now, i did my daughters the other day and mine and granddaughter today 😁

[CBDB Graduate10]

blue looks great on that route, but there is a fast red section at the lake? Any geese chasing you, by any chance?

Glad to hear the haircut went well! 💈💇✂️

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to CBDB]

I came down from a side path as a load of people were walking along the main path so hopped onto the grass and sprinted past them 😂

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

🤣🤣👏👏👍🏽💨

[Martlet76]

1hour non stop running, that's impressive (speed doesn't matter).

Well done

Thank you, i guess it doesnt really

[Gthants 60minGraduate]

Happy, happy Tuesday!! 🙌

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Gthants]

And to you too 😀

[Shake-and-run Graduate10]

well done, so impressed xxx when I discovered Chatty running ( slowing your pace down so you can talk in full sentences) it completely changed my running experience . I now run as fast (may be faster) than I did before I slowed down but without too much breathy panting and feeling like I’m nearly dying . Still not super speedy and still Jeff longer runs but it is almost a pleasure!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Shake-and-run]

Thank you, i just want to get back to longer time running without wearing myself out xxx

[Birdlady64 Graduate10]

Time on feet, that's impressive. Really well done!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Birdlady64]

Slower than slow but thank you

[Dexy5 Graduate10]

Great  SueAppleRun ! It got very hot today out of the sea breeze. I was glad I was out mid morning when it was cloudy and 18c. Well done to you for running in the afternoon, and completing 6k.

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Dexy5]

Thanks Dexy, it was hot out there, a little breeze too though made it perfect

[RunBrianRun Graduate10]

I think I said it already. But that’s an almost perfect run for where you are on your running journey Sue. Well done. 👍

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to RunBrianRun]

Thank you Brian, it was lovely just plodding on and not pushing myself. I've decided not to run parkrun on Saturday but its their 5 year anniversary so Im volunteering instead

[RunBrianRun Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

Good idea. Have a rest. I’m sure you’ll really enjoy it.

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to RunBrianRun]

Ive heard tell there may even be cake 😂😂😂

[Oldfloss Administrator 60minGraduate]

Lovely, lovely! Those long relaxed runs are just super.... just finding that happy pace and letting the legs take you gently on !!! Brilliant!

Well done you!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Much easier than trying to go faster

[JeremiahObadiah]

Hope you slept well after that long run. Impressed here. 🤩

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to JeremiahObadiah]

I did thanks 😀

[Frizzbomb67 Graduate10]

Well done! Slow ones are the best. Sometimes you just need to leave the coaches behind and do your own thing. It’s such a treat running to your own soundtrack. Sometimes I run with my audiobook - bliss.

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Frizzbomb67]

Thanks, im yet to run with a podcast but will try rhst soon

[Sulley101 Graduate10]

Well done for keeping up the running fr an hour in this weather. ☀️ Turned my alarm clock off this morning and went back to sleep so feeling guilty ☹️ and I must do better tomorrow !

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Sulley101]

Ha ha 😁, i didnt feel like it yesterday morning hence going out in the afternoon, im tempted with a swim in the sea today, dont ever feel guilty, the runs will wait

It was really good thanks

[Folkylass Administrator]

Fabulous Sue! You did it and brilliantly too from the sound of it. Now you have set your bench mark ! Go girl !👍😂😂🥰x

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Folkylass]

I love this really warm weather but it is hard ro run in

[Folkylass Administrator in reply to SueAppleRun]

It’s nice to run in this weather but I do struggle with it and I much prefer the autumn and winter ,that’s the best time for me 🥰x

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Folkylass]

Yes! Nothing like going out on a cold day and running until you are warm right through is there?

[Folkylass Administrator in reply to SueAppleRun]

Exactly ! I love it😂😂
