I DID IT WOOOHOOO

29 Replies

Well I never would’ve believed it 9 weeks ago I’d be running for 30 minutes. I may not be fast but I get up and run. All thanks to your fabulous support and especially my fantastic inspirational coach aka my hubby, who today lead by example and did the Fleetwood half marathon and smashing his pb by 4 mins 54 to get a 1h55.28 time.

Pmsl jeez I’m only just covering 1.8 miles not including my 5 min warm up/down lol. I’m working my way upto a full 5k running for the mo I have no desire to even run a 10K never mind a half marathon.

Hey, you never know if you reach the 5K what lies after 🙂. I’m just thinking as you have a running buddy not a virtual one like I have (the C25Kers). Ha!

Congratulations! Hubby needs to be on his game, he could have some competition soon! Well done.

in reply to UnfitNoMore

Lol I wish, do not fancy being able to run that fast, I’ll stick to my 16-17 min miles for now not so eager to do a 8-9 min mile a bit too fast for my little legs lol.

The best bit of all this though...it goes on :) And the next best bit, we are all there with you!!!

in reply to Oldfloss

Thanks oldfloss. I’m gonna do a week of 30 min runs and then keep adding 2 mins x 3 runs mixed with a 15 min programme I have on my treadmill to try and improve my speed over a short distance as I’d like to try and get my mile time a bit better. Keeping it slow and steady. X
