Week 8 Run 2 in the bag

4 Replies

Getting better at the 28 minute run. I could honestly run that extra to make 5K but feel I need to complete the programme correctly. Nearly there.

Yeah, go steady. No need to push. It’s when folks push too far too soon that the whole thing can come crashing down

By going carefully you’ll finish the programme in good nick

Well done 🙂🏃‍♂️👍✔️

Thank you! It’s going well and I’m looking forward to moving up to 10K running closer to Christmas or even in the new year. I want to take part in the Manchester 10K Run.

Is that the one a certain Mr Farah will be involved in?

Good for you! The journey from five to ten kms is probably the best bit I ever did. I loved it. I git bogged down a bit but managed it eventually. Slow and careful be thy mantra 💪🏃‍♂️👍✔️ Cross training will be needed now

Mo Farah will be there but he’s doing to marathon. I’m doing the 10K. I’ll leisurely continue with my parkruns until I feel ready to start adding mileage onto my runs.

Not what you're looking for?
