Graduated! ππ
Brilliant - and to do it at this time of year, too..... Brrrrrr!
Excellent, well done! Onwards and upwards! I just ran for 30 minutes for a couple of weeks then started increasing by 10% each week for my 'long' run, I still do a 30 min slow run and a fartlek run as this seems popular. I'm working towards 10k, not for any particular reason except it keeps me motivated to have a bit of a plan!
Thank you and well done too π what's a Fartlek run?
Thanks! It's interval training or running/walking fast and slow, alternating through the run. I do a 30-20-10 version which is fun: greatist.com/move/10-20-30-...
I don't push myself really really hard though as I dislike gasping for breath, but I do a sort of sprint as it's only for 10 seconds at a time!
Thanks for that, looks interesting and doable π
It's worth a try! Actually I prefer this version as it's a bit longer but involves light jogging in between, not walking or stopping which seems a bit extreme and inviting injury to me:
