W4R2. Half way there. Had to stop to pick up after the dog half way through one of the five-minute runs, so tacked another 5 minute run onto the end. Felt good.
Misty rain, couldn't see much through my glasses, but pretty sure my ten-year-old dog was laughing at this being my idea of a running speed.
By the time you reached Graduation the dog will be fit enough to run the whole thing with you. Hope so! What kind of dog is it? Not a labrador I hope.
Well done by the way! Keep going, slow but sure. Yes this rain does play havoc with our specs, and make it difficult to see our gizmo's but we manage.
Good luck with the next run!
She's an old mixed breed, ten years old and about the size of a Cocker spaniel. I suspect that she can trot for half an hour at my current running speed with no problems. She comes on Highland hikes with us. I'm keeping a careful eye out for any symptoms of strain or exhaustion in her though.
Oh yes, that's good. We don't want to overtax our beloved dogs. I watched a clip on here yesters of a runner carrying a tired doggy 🙂
My husband used to run with our little terrier but they are only fit over a short distance. He had a heart murmur so we had to be v careful with him. He loved it though and was only a good lad when well exercised 🐕
Ok! May I ask what is wrong with Labradors please? I have two!
I wear a cap and find the peak helps keep rain off glasses and sun (when it's out) off the face, there's also just a visor peak, they also help keep sweat out of the eyes..
Nothing, if you follow the thread, I was alluding to the owner having to carry the dog, hence I hoped it wasn't a labrador. I'd rather NOT carry a labrador! If I had the choice I would choose a chihuahua. That's all. I was not having a pop at labs
Far from it, I love dogs! All of em
No no. Not pick up the dog. Pick up 'after' the dog. Dog poo. Bags.
Ha ha 😀🙂😆🐕
Your post has inspired me. I'm at the start of week 4 and after attempting run 1 and run 2 and failing miserably to complete them I have decided to stretch week 4 out over two weeks! I can do the first five minute section but the last bit defeats me. Resting tomorrow and I'll have another go on Tuesday...
Sounds good. Or dropping back to the week before - I don't know which is better for building stamina.
After work 10k, plus a bit
