Big week for me this week!!!

[Bazza1234]

From my Runkeeper log

Tue - 8klm easy non-stop (running club)

Thu - 19 klm run/walk (HM training)

Sat - 5klm easy non-stop Parkrun

Sun -- 6 klm easy non-stop (running club)

Sun --5 klm walk (Orienteering club)

Total - 43 klms.

All of it done at an easy pace between 7:00 and 7:30 mins per K. - this is in keeping with a <30 minute parkrun last week

Feeling quite strong - no aches or pains - bit tired though. Looking forward to some vin rouge tonight.

When I first started trying to run, I only ever wanted to be able to run one Klm non-stop. I don't know what has happened to me!!

That's very impressive Bazza ! It's amazing what we are capable of isn't it ? Who'dve thought you would be doing these distances from those early days of Wk1 R1 !

Well done ! :-)xxx

Bazza, you are a real inspiration for the rest of us who can't yet ever imagine calling 5k 'easy'! Well done. Your enjoyment of your new lifestyle really shines out.

The word "easy" refers to the effort I put in and is relative - it means easy to you personally. I guess that compared to sitting on the couch - there is no running that is "easy" It is still all hard to me -- but it is a matter of hard, harder and hardest - so out of those three, the first is relatively "easy".

So - everybody has an "easy" pace - it is the pace that you can "get along" easily and have a chat as you go - for most of us in the early days of our running , this can often be a combination of running and walking.

You can do a 5K at your "easy" pace!!
