I’m back.....wk8 r1

[Peet999]

So been a little poorly so haven’t been running recent hence haven’t posted for 2 weeks. Now feeling that but better so Monday here I come wk8 r1.

Shall I just go straight into it or should i repeat the week before. Don’t even know if I’m going to be able to handle it. 🙈

Go for it just slowly tho

Slowly is certainly my way forward. Thank you for your words.

Hey Peet! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 Welcome back. You did the right thing. Now that you’re getting back out there the guidance is still the same! Go very slowly and if it’s possible go slower. It’s still very hot from very early, so bear that in mind too. I’m sure you can use W8 as post recovery runs, I would just aim purposefully to go slower. Let us know how you get on!! You can do it!! 😁❤️

[Peet999 Graduate in reply to Fabulous450]

Thanks hun. Yes I think I will need to be slow and careful. To be honest we actually trying for another brat sorry meant baby, had a pregnancy scare but flase alarm. Part of me was concerned that do I carry on running altogether and then half off me was so gutted that there could have been a chance I wouldn’t have been able to complete. My opinion now is to carry on what I’m doing and let’s see what happens. X

Carry on Peet! Just be gentle and don’t push too hard. Only do what comes naturally! You’re body is smarter than you think. Good luck with everything!! 😉❤️

Tap into your inner snail 🐌 and take W8R1 super slowly. Any discomfort, go slower still. You’ll be fine - it’s only 3 minutes longer than W7.

We’re all here to cheer you on! Report back with how it went! Remember, think 🐌🐌🐌

Good luck, you’ll smash it! ❤️😀🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️💪🏻

Go you.. gentle and slow and see how it feels... you should be fine, if you take it gently

Glad you are feeling better

[Peet999 Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Thank you! I will go slow and easy. Am proud of how far I have got but also need to look after myself. Looking forward

To graduating and then increasing time and distance covered.

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to Peet999]

You will be fine😊

I graduated then had a month off following an op. I waited until I felt ready and have now done 2 runs. Up to 2.5k, walked 1/2km then ran the rest...but all slowly. I haven't lost my aerobic fitness, but can see my stamina has tailed off. I guess we just have to build back gradually? Good luck!

[Peet999 Graduate in reply to Paulineeee]

You will do it. I think we just need to take it slow and sensible. We will get there! Keep me postedx

[Paulineeee in reply to Peet999]

Hey! Did the 5k nonstop this week. Hope you're back on track too?

[Peet999 Graduate in reply to Paulineeee]

Fab stuff!!! Well done you! I’ve had a good week too. I’ve completed wk8 and now onto graduation week!!! Wow can’t believe saying that!

Though think I did over do it as for my wk8 r3 I decided to do against a 5k parkrun. At 30 min I still hadn’t completed the 5k so I carried on running a further 12min until I finished!!! Boy I’m still aching!!! 😏😳

[Paulineeee]

But you still did it...need a rest day now! We are thinking of doing a park run. Would you recommend them?

[Peet999 Graduate in reply to Paulineeee]

I might need a few rest days! 🙈

No plan to go out tomorrow or Tuesday. Then get my graduation this week. As next week hubby away for week then hard to get out without no childcare.

Parkruns - yes!! There really good. Don’t get me wrong I always come towards the end but hey I’m running!!! Let us know how it goes x
