Wk9r2

[Nemota]

Just done wk9r2 on treadmill. Set a very steady pace with legs still stiff from my park run on Saturday, was prepared to not complete but after 10 minutes I knew I could do it. For the last 5 minutes I up the pace a bit then with every minute I up the pace again at 30 minutes I didn’t want to stop so carried on a few more minutes then did my warm down walk after a few minutes then looked and realised I wasn’t far off 5K do set off until 5K done. What a difference from Saturdays run.

I think I set off too fast on Saturday, I went with the first half of the group of runners and ran out stamina .

Really enjoyed this morning run , particularly after Saturday when I was a bit deflated after finding the run difficult

PS 7 minutes quicker for 5K today compared to Saturdays run.

PPS it’s my 57th birthday today 🥃

You’re an inspiration; I’m coming up 57 later this month and start week 3 tomorrow. Running is a new challenge for me so it’s great to read your story and spur me on. Tx 👍

[Nemota Graduate in reply to Christene]

Thanks. Yes had a day out after that, went to Hornsea and then to Beverley where we eat at a Brazilian restaurant, which was lovely. Now sat at home having a few brandy’s to finish off.
