Very interesting!
I shall now stop feeling inadequate when I don't meet my weekly running targets and console myself with the fact that although slow, I should live to run for longer! Lol. 😂😃🍾

Yes yes yes! Im good for this one....... but maybe fewer miles .....didnt expect to ever say that!
I know.. it was just the, live longer, that excited me
If we go slow enough they will never be rid of us, result! 🏃🏻♀️👏🏼
My sentiments exactly!!! I had such a slow run this morning... wet and soggy and very muddy...it was fabulous... and now, I know... it was good for me As you say... result!
The rain this morning was.....WET, but Im glad I got out as I had a grand run! So quiet every where, loved it. Slow steady and marvellous! 😀🏃🏻♀️

Yay! That is what I am running (well, I was until I tried to find out if I could bounce!).

As the token man on this thread, can I point out that it doesn't say what anybody died from..............they might have all got knocked down by buses.

Brilliant news! Thanks OF. Before reading this hot news, I'd just downloaded the '10k in 8 weeks' training plan from Women's Running and found it just gets you up to being 'out there' at whatever pace for 50 mins or so. Well I can already do that thanks to c25k - but I only cover 5k in that time (loneliest snail in parkrun). So that training plan is a bit silly IMHO - at least badly named. Also, since graduation, I am really enjoying little runs - like running to the beach for 20 mins yesterday for a (very little) swim. so - onward and shortward for me (for now). PS, I had an e-nail end of last week and used t-tree and some tubey toe protectors and it's fine now. X
All sounding very positive!
I did the 10K revisited plan from Women's Running.. it was great... it did not improve my time on my first 10K, but taught me a heck of a lot! It was very disciplined... There was a 10K for beginners, plan in the same magazine issue... that did get you running to 10K...
I will message you re-that
I like the e nail joke!!!

Haha, well, fancy that? 😂
Slow is my middle name from now on, lol. There's nothing wrong with snails, steady, but sure. 😁😊
Thanks for that!
What a relief, certainly takes the pressure off. No more worrying about Parkrun times for me!

Thanks, just what I needed to hear...I had a disappointing (to me) finish last wknd at my first "real" 5k. It was a small field and I finished 3rd last even tho my time was not bad for me. I've been talking myself back round to a positive attitude as I am 59 and have progressed from a totally sedentary lifestyle to running 3 days a week. Gremlins begone!

Nice to see someone agreeing with my approach at last. Refuse to be chivvied into going faster/further than feels right, and don't some people love a well-meaning chivvy :^)

Thanks for that. It kind of makes sense. The slower you run, the less strain on your heart, which can only be a good thing, combined with a whole food, decent, healthy diet as we all reach old age.

There's only one snag with this Floss. You don't run that slowly 😏
