I got up this morning determined to try my best to get to 5K on my first run of Week 8 and I've just fallen short ... so close ... but feel really good about it . This is probably the furthest I've ever managed to run. I'll attack it again on Thursday and again on Sunday before W9 starts next Monday.
Hope everyone running today has a good one !
Well done, that's a very good distance for Week 8
Many thanks Run 2 is tomorrow - fingers crossed it will go well !
Keep it slow and steady..get the 30 minutes in comfortably and just let it evolve
best to reach the podium injury free and let the distances follow
That is a great distance!
You must heed YodaFloss, young paduwan.
Your bone development is only in week 4 and your muscle development week 6 making you more prone to injury.
These things I have learned in my enlightenment to the ways of the slow! 🐌🐌🐌
Thanks Simon for the commends - I will take it a bit easier tomorrow as I don't want any injuries. On non running days in the week I just have an early morning walk and again when I finish work to give max opportunity for recovery. Looking forward to the next 28 minute run (hopefully get the breathing better) .. then all being well finish week 8 on Saturday morning - ready for week 9 on Monday .. a long way to go so must keep injury free !
I did the same run this morning and managed 4.3k which I'm pretty happy with. Who knows if I'll make it to the magical 5k by the time I finish but as long as I do actually finish I'll be happy!
Well done 28 minutes is huge - and yes getting to week 9 injury free has to be the goal then consolidate and finally take on the stamina and speed 5k+ exercises - good luck with run 2 !
