Second 10k Magic Plan run

[Yesletsgo]

I was feeling keen yesterday so decided to go straight to the 30 minute run and ignore the 15 minutes.Today I'm going away for a few days and realised how unlikely it is that I'll be able to run so haven't packed my gear. I really don't want to lose my momentum so was wondering if I could sneak a little run in.I had a couple of last minute things to do which involved going to the Post Office, nearly 1km from my house. Time was pressing, it was a beautiful morning so why not combine my errands with the 15 minute run?

I ran to the Post Office, paused the run, popped into the doctors opposite to sort something out then restarted the run and set off home. It was downhill all the way so felt really good in the freezing sunshine.

Got to 15 minutes and decided to carry on just a bit further to reach 2km. Fantastic 😁

It may have only been 16 ish minutes but, with the long uphill slope on the way there, it was DEFINITELY a run worth doing!

Every run counts! Sounds good to me 👍🏻

This one felt a lot longer than it was! Funny, every other 15 minute run has felt way too short, I suppose it was because this one had a definite goal and time constraints.

We are so worried about distance all the time but you fitted in a run that’s an achievement so go and enjoy your break !

You're right. As a slow runner the longer runs all seem to take so long. Finding 90 ish minutes to do a 10k is a really long time for me. If my goal is 60 minutes it really takes the pressure off and feels way more achievable.

A run is a run wherever you do it. Well done on squeezing that one in. Enjoy your few days away

Thank you, really glad I managed it. I couldn't have run even if I'd bought my kit - pavements are treacherous with ice!

Congrats for squeezing a run on that might not have happened…those are extra worth celebrating!

It certainly felt that way. Definitely worth it

My husband was impressed with how quickly I got back. Usually I stop and chat to people but luckily today I was a woman with a mission 😂
