First park run tomorrow

[ZoomZoom]

So, my Saturday sessions of Zumba are no more (instructor has quit) so I find myself available to do some park runs.

I am really excited. Can definitely run for 25 mins (and cover 3.6-8km) although next run is 28 minutes (w8r1), I estimate that I'll need 33-35 minutes to do 5km.

So do I try and run as long as I can, or just cover the 28 minutes????

Why don't you do the 28 mins then your fast cool down walk, then walk the rest

I agree with Helcl. You have done well on the plan. why not stick with it.

Okay, thanks, that is what I shall do. Time to get up and make my way there - it's a good warm up walk away

Good luck with your Park Run. I agree with Helcl - run what you can and walk the rest. Enjoy. Best wishes.

I did it - and I ran the whole 5km. I lost Laura again but mapmyrun told me I had done 4km in 26m20s and I thought 100s left - okay I'll just carry on till I can't and I was coming to the final slight incline ... A lady overtook me slowly but I just did my best and then there was a slight decline right at the end and I did a sprint, just beating by mm's that lady who sprinted too. I was so chuffed I forgot to switch off my app for probably a minute, but the time from the app was 34m22s but hopefully the official time will be better. I am so on cloud 9. Can't wait to do it next week again but will do my official 2nd & 3rd 28m runs during the coming week

Congratulations! You must be feeling so good now, but make sure you take the rest day tomorrow, as you pushed that bit harder, but brilliant going!

[ZoomZoom Graduate in reply to helcl]

Thanks, going to have 2 rest days actually
