WK7 run 2 completed

[Bonsaiboy]

Found this run reasonably comfortable. Yes I was glad when it finished but found out all of a sudden I have a steady rhythm (however slow). Also found out today that in the park opposite me they have a 5km run every Saturday. That must be fate surely. Hopefully ill be able to join in sooner rather than later.

Thanks jiggles7. I had my final run of wk 7 yesterday. Was odd felt I was struggling a bit with heavy legs in the last half. Then with 4 mins to go I though what the hell and ran at twice my usual speed at least all the way to the end. My legs felt fine running faster. Have I been holding myself back trying to go slow and carrying heavy legs? not sure what to do now for the first 28min. do I go slow again? do I try speeding up?

Ahh I’m afraid you are ahead of me a week so you may want to ask advice from the forum on that. Michael said I was allowed to speed up today w6r2 which is easier on my legs but not so much on my lungs so I kinda did a combination of faster and slower and faster again. Maybe you could try that half way through the next one and see how you go? Or probably the second 28 run after you’ve done the first slow and steady.

Good advice. ill switch back to Michael as a trainer as I didn't get that slow quick slow advice from the others.

Great run. Every Saturday at 9am by any chance?

[Bonsaiboy in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Yes its 9am. There is a website and apparently over 200 people have their times logged on the site.

They’re all over the place and very friendly. I didn’t know there was one in my town either until I got interested in running.
