Just run further and longer.

well as I graduated in June and did my R4Life last Sunday, decided its time I ran further than 5k, had got up to about 45 mins of running, tonight I decided to run my course all the way there and back!

Not pretty (My Style) and slow, I still struggle with pace. I managed to run for 1hour 5 mins and cover nearly 7K.

The return run on the course is slightly uphill which until tonight I had always avoided.

It still amazes me, what we can achieve if we put our minds to it.

I am still loving this journey from Couch to runner.X

Thank you, no I don't want to end on the injury coach.

I am amazed I have got to now without any injury, I think I got so far tonight and wanted to finish without stopping.

Think I will go back to the 10% rule!!

It's great isn't it - when you discover that you can still amaze yourself! Sounds like a great run.

Be careful not to push it too far too fast - but do keep pushing it! You'll continue to be amazed!
