Another 3k, another plan

Having hardly run at all this month I was determined to get one last run in so that my monthly total was above 10km. So off we set, to the damp and misty fields for a final 3k.

I am feeling the need to hold myself to account so had a look at the NRC plans. I didn't want to do the longer distances -10k, HM, - I know I'll fizzle out once I get somewhere around 6-8k depending on the weather and my travels.

I didn't want to do a 5k plan, it seemed too basic, so I settled for the Get Started plan. Basically a couple of shorter runs a week plus a very short one. I know I can add in another longer run instead but as long as I do the 2 bigger runs I'm ahead and it's only 4 weeks.

The only annoying thing was that at the end of today's run the app wouldn't let me continue once the guided run finished so it only recorded the 2.36 km I ran in the 20 minutes instead of the full 3.1 ish km I actually covered. Never mind, it's not really about the numbers is it?

At least 12.25 km is in double figures and 4 years ago, before I started running, I'd have been most impressed with myself 😂

You need to be most impressed with yourself, I'm impressed, in fact so impressed I'm off to look at that plan and see if the runs are short enough for me to attempt 😁

Well the short runs are 5, 7, 10 and 12 minutes...the long runs are quite a bit longer than that :)

I've had a look and it'll give me something to follow even if I walk most of it 😁 so I'll probably start it tomorrow

I absolutely love a plan for getting on track. I haven’t done that particular one-hope it’s fun. Looking forward to hearing what you think of it. Hope the tech plays more nicely next time!

I think I worked out what the issue was with the app, hopefully the next run will record in its entirety.

I'll keep you posted on the plan :)
