Start October as I plan to go on

[61Lady]

Yesterday I sat and worked out a plan for October based on JuJu’s distance schedule. I’ve done this routine a couple of times before but quite sometime ago so looking forward to building distance again gradually.

Plan said do 5k today so I did 👍 very 🐌 like but I’m not bothered - been doing 3’s and 4’s for a few weeks so pleased to get a 5k under my belt again all before 8am on a Sunday too - unheard of for me 🤣

Jury still out on nose breathing 🤔

Feeling very smug now with my tea and toast (weekend treat) and already done my 10,000 steps for the day 🥳

So day 1 of my plan complete ✔️ let’s hope I can stick with it for the whole month 🤞

All the best to my fellow VRB’s 🏃‍♀️🏃🏻‍♂️🏃‍♀️

Awesome. Nose breathing? Do you find that difficult or does it slow your running too much?

I do this for recovery rows (indoor rowing) and works well there. Running, I used to be able to do this on my recovery runs, but am nowhere that fitness level currently. A bit more work to do on this.

Very much a novice at nose breathing and definitely more work to do… find myself forgetting now and then - too busy looking at my surroundings 🤣

I think it probably is slowing me down a little at the moment - hard to say for sure as I’m very much a 🐌 anyway but apparently it will level off my heart rate and as I understand it, pace will increase if I can persevere
