Has anyone taken part in any of the LoveSwim run events? I can do 6k so far and the longest run is 11.5k with a swim of 3.5k in Llanberis. Bit worried if I’d be able to do it or not! It’s next June 🙂

Well you’ve got time to train 💪😃.

Running wise, it’s safe to progress by 10% a week. Slow and steady 💪😃👍🏃‍♀️

Thanks! It’s the hills I’m worried about 😦

You tackle them oh so very slowly. “Small steps, small,steps, small steps” is the mantra 💪 You stop for a breather as required, before pushing on again

You’re breaking it down ! Chipping away at it.

It ain’t easy! You have to put the training in but you do it SLOWLY No need for heroics 😃

Not what you're looking for?
