Week 8 run 3

[RunningForBroke]

By all accounts a good run. I wouldn't classify it as easy but I ran 3.25k today consecutively. my best distance run (and best distance overall). I started pushing my speed when running downhill instead of using it as a break and shaved about a minute per km off of my speed. Feeling very happy right now. Goodbye week eight.

P.S. The site will probably flip my photo again, but what a pretty sky. Yep. Flipped again. Face meet desk.

Excellent running Well done you!

I found I was able to increase my distance a bit by running with a group....not a park run necessarily but a gang of folk who just trot out together!

But it's all about enjoying it ..... And when you are outside looking at a sky like that what is there to grumble about?

Good luck with Week 9... Will watch out for your graduation post! X

Oh yes, I love the outdoors part of running. I'm so lucky to have my workouts outside! As for increasing my pace - I am signed up for a 5k at the end of the month 😃.

Thank you!!!!

Oh yes, use the down hills to make up time! Well done x

[RunningForBroke Graduate in reply to Curlygurly2]

Thank you!!!! 😃

[Curlygurly2 Graduate in reply to RunningForBroke]

BTW, the best bit of advice I got from someone here, is to lean forward on the down hills, I was sort of leaning back in an attempt to not go too fast, but that's very hard on your knees....you can recover going down hill. xx

Everyone posting pictures of Australia :O)

[RunningForBroke Graduate in reply to Zev1963]

I see. I guess Wisconsin looks a bit like Australia? That's a picture of the park I like to run in.

[Zev1963 Graduate in reply to RunningForBroke]

It's the orientation, sky being down, and grass being up ;O)

[RunningForBroke Graduate in reply to Zev1963]

No matter what I do, this website seems to flip my photos. It may not be Australia, but the sky is "down under".
