Well I graduated Sunday and thought I would see how near I could get to getting to the illusive 5K.... well I did like an advert for the next red nose day as I was slightly warm and sweaty when I finished - but I did it in 39 mins and 53 seconds - Hubby said well that's 40 mins then...... errrrrrrrrrrrr no I said its sub 40mins hehe
Time for a sleep now me thinks
Ok now I have done it - I might step back a bit and do some shorter bursts of running for 10 mins run, 3 mins walk x 3 to work on my speed and then do a longer run once a week What has other people done when they have completed and want to keep on running but not necessarily for long runs each time x
Wahey, Well done Jude ! You don't let the grass grow under your trainers that's for sure ha ha !
Yes youre right, definitely a sub 40 min 5k
I kept with running for 30 minutes 3 times a week at first, I wasn't sure what to do to be honest. I missed the discipline and the routine so now Im doing a 10k plan. 2 short ones during the week and a longer one at the weekend.
Theres the speed and stamina podcasts with Laura , but there is a mixed reaction to them , some people love 'em and some don't like 'em but Ive not tried them myself xxx
hehe well that is the beauty of running indoors PP, no grass to grow
I have heard people talk about the speed and stamina podcasts and as you say mixed reactions, so not sure about getting into another program that might not work for me.
I did stick with Laura for most of my run, just so that I could here her let me know what time I was as, I know I could just look down at the screen on treadmill, but try not to keep looking.
Thanks PP xx
