W9 R1 parkrun

[Belindauk]

Today's parkrun challenged me right from the word go. I managed 1 lap and a half before I had to slow to a walk, to catch my breathe back. ( never been this bad) I did this a few times. not sure why it was so hard, just guessing after a busy week at work, plus running club and keeping on track with c25k I was knackered from the start. my time last parkrun was 37.48 when parkrun sent me my time I'd only gone and got a Pb of 37.43 so a sub 5 seconds ha ha. I could not believe it. So although I had to walk a few times, it's shows my pace and fitness has improved. So was not a bad run after all

[Gazter Graduate]

Well done!! you havent even graduated yet and you are out doing parkruns!

[Belindauk Graduate in reply to Gazter]

Thank you

[runningknitter Graduate]

Wow B, you always have so much going on. A good time for you though....especially when you were poorly not so long ago. (First run of week 9 for me tomorrow :0) )

[Belindauk Graduate in reply to runningknitter]

Thank you RK, that's one of my bad points I push myself hard all the time. Always coming up with bright ideas until I start them ha ha

Good luck with W9 R1 I will hopefully run W9 R2 tomorrow but I'll wait for R3 until you do yours

My plan is to do run 3 on Thursday. If you can't do it then, let me know x

[Belindauk Graduate in reply to runningknitter]

Thursday is fine by me. see you at the finish line

[misswobble Graduate]

Great Stuff Belinda! Slowing down works you see. Slow down, catch your breath (your heart rate comes down) and off you go again. Voile!

Not long to go now! Are you getting excited? We are!

[Belindauk Graduate in reply to misswobble]

It sure does, although I was a little hard on myself for walking. I just couldn't run the whole 5k yesterday my body would not let me. So I listened to it for a change

I will graduate by end of next week ready for a nice two week rest in Egypt

[MarkyD Graduate]

Well done B!

I was never brave enough to do PR in W9r1, so I think you've done brilliantly. Don't worry about the challenging run today... I expect you'll find that you went off too fast and tired yourself early. But a PB! How good is that??

[Belindauk Graduate in reply to MarkyD]

Thank you. This was my second parkrun, I done my first one on W6 so I knew I could do it and on the first one I ran all the way and came in at 37.48 so to run/walk this one and come in at 37.43 was fabulous as I certainly did not expect a PB

[Zeinab Graduate]

You should be so proud of yourself !

Its a huge improvement especially if you are not a graduate yet !

[Belindauk Graduate in reply to Zeinab]

Thank you if I can do it anyone can I could not run 60 seconds 8 weeks ago

[misswobble Graduate]

Yes Pops, I'm training for the half marathon (gulp). I have a 17. 7 k run later this week. Got to get myself a water bottle! I don't run with water thus far as I hate carrying anything. A bus ticket would seem like luggage!
