Wk5 run 1

Enjoyed that! Explored a new route suitable for running in the dark and found a good flat circular route I think! I found the middle run harder than the last one! 🏃‍♀️

Good job. I like the sound of flat and circular, fine recon! I found the same... I think the last run always feels good to be in.

I never thought of it like that but yes, more relaxed by the last one I guess

Well done! I did it today. Found the last 5min tougher though. I was thinking how on earth am I going to manage 8min on Sunday, never mind 20 next week!

[embobs Graduate in reply to SubterraneanAlien]

Well my thoughts were very similar! I’m walking 8 miles for a charity walk tomorrow so I’m having a rest day on Sunday and running the next one on Monday. Let me know how you get on on Sunday!

[SubterraneanAlien Graduate in reply to embobs]

Walking 8 miles? Fantastic! Don't get confused and start running! Which charity are you walking for? Hope you have lovely weather for it.

Forecast is okay. It’s a moonlight walk for the local cancer care hospice. Doing it with some girls from work. I think it will be hard not to want to run some of it just to speed it up! 😂

Well that sounds lovely and for such a great cause. Enjoy then walk and I'll let you know how Sunday goes.

Just to let you know, run 2 was brilliant! I did it with my sister-in-law and my 5 year old and I could have kept going! Even chatted a bit sometimes! She didn't mind going slower than her usual pace (she's done a 5k pb if 33min!) and it was great! Bring on run 3! X

That’s great to hear! My 8 mile walk was great and we had a decent pace (it took 2hrs 20 mins) I’ve had a proper rest day today and definitely felt like I needed it. Can’t wait to run tomorrow. I’ll let you know how mine goes! Xx

[SubterraneanAlien Graduate in reply to embobs]

Fantastic! I meant to ask how your walk was. Unfortunately, I seem to have succumbed to the lurgy that my kids have been harbouring for a week... Dosing myself up in hope of being better by Wednesday.

Enjoy tomorrow's run!

[embobs Graduate in reply to SubterraneanAlien]

Urgh, my other half has that but I’ve managed to escape it so far. Hope you feel better soon xx
