Week 6 completed

[B0bP]

Hi everybody,

Well that's week 6 completed this morning.

For some reason W6R1 was the hardest for me, I felt like it was harder than I was expecting considering the run before it was 20 minutes straight.

W6R2 went ok and my Fitbit said my best time for a km was 6 mins 50 seconds which I felt quite happy with. I seem to be a averaging between 4.6 - 4.7 kms per run at the moment (including my warm up and cool down walks). Not the fastest or longest but it's nice to know what I'm doing so I can see when I get faster or go a longer distance.

So up at 6am this morning with a cup of tea and a small bowl of bran flakes. I left it an hour to digest and started W7R3 at 7am.

As I've seen others post I found the first 10 minutes the hardest, then I seemed to settle into a nice run. At around the 15 minute mark I noticed a slight pain in my groin but not bad enough to slow down or stop.

Then before I knew it there was only 60 seconds to go and I found I had enough energy left to up my pace a bit.

I'm really pleased with my progress so far and I'm amazed I can run for 25 minutes without stopping.

I'm off on holiday tomorrow and stopping at Morpeth Castle for the week so I'm looking forward to a few runs somewhere new and hopefully scenic.

Roll on W7 I say

Well done on completing another week - I'm at the same stage. The weeks are just flying by aren't they! Morpeth a Castle sounds scenic, enjoy!

Only three weeks left eh.

My Mrs asked me what I was going to do to treat myself on completion of W9. I haven't thought about it to be honest.

Wow.. go you.. and a Fitbit and a castle... how swanky is that ?

Take it slow and steady and don't push yourself too hard at this stage...but then, my mantra is slow and steady for all my runs

Enjoy your scenic routes and those wonderful Northumbrian skies!!!!!!!!!!!
