W10CR1 - easy / short consolidation run

[IgaT]

Speed training trial (30-20-10) & ju-ju's Magic 10 (W1R1) - 2.5K

So often adventures are happening. Today, my dog decided to go crazy and get involved inthe dog fight / argument during our running session. Yes, she was off lead. We were running on our usual football field. She went to greet new dog, but the dog didn't want to be greeted. The other owner didn't know how to act. But I got there in the spee of light and took my dog away. Of course, I had to pause my session. I took my dog home and continue from the beginning of 30-20-10, but I did not reset the distance.

It was my first speed training and i was damn exhausting, but not boring. What I was to do qas 30 sec slow jog, 20 sec moderate pace, 10 sec sprint / full speed. Repeated 5x. Then 2 min relax during very slow jog. I did about 1.5 sets. I got quite sweaty and happy At home added 7 min abs workout and some short 5-7 min stretching.

Happy running! Keep going!

Congratulations! Great Run! Great start for 10K! A brave runner! 👍

[IgaT Graduate in reply to lusmo]

Thank you, slow and steady apart from the time I am told to sprint

[UnfitNoMore Graduate]

Nice one, sounds like a fun run to me!

[IgaT Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Part of it was really fun

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to IgaT]

The sprints?

[IgaT Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

The sprints and seeing what my body is capable of During last 9 weeks I was avoiding thoughts about speed, so it is nice change. And keeping the run short was a nice change as well

Take it gently .. well done you !

[IgaT Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Today was less than 19 min, 2.6K with a solid pause in approx. 1/3. Tomorrow no workouts, no running (hopefully buses will wait for me). And then on Wednesday... Will see. Aiming at slow and steady 30 minutes. Curious what distance I will cover without any pressure

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to IgaT]

You're doing brilliantly x

[IgaT Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Thank you

There's no stopping you now IgaT! Great to hear you're back out there already, wow that does sound like an adventure, both with your dog and the run 😁

Mine is very similar - he thinks everyone wants to play and has a real look of confusion when he isn't greeted with the same enthusiasm! Those speed sets do sound a bit daunting, I think I would get very confused with what I was supposed to be doing and probably run into a wall 😂 Looking forward to giving Ju-Ju's plan a shot though too hopefully, keep hearing many great things!

[IgaT Graduate in reply to sHAYM4N]

Without the app I would have no idea what to do as well

Apparently 30-20-10 is type of Fartlek - speed interval / speed play, and I heard many people recommend Fartlek.

I think my way of doing ju-ju's plan will be a bit off in the beginning, as I need more consolidation and being comfortable with 5K, not only 30min. So this week I plan to do 30 min Wed and 33 min Fri. So Friday, I should be close to 5K.

Well done, you're braver than me. I looked at the bridge to 10k plan and have decided to keep running for 30 mins or 5k three times a week for a few more weeks. I look forward to following your progress 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

[IgaT Graduate in reply to Running-nana]

I have no idea how I will manage. I don't want to push to hard so I may be repeating first 1-2 weeks several times. So probably I will join ju-ju fully in couple of weeks.

[Katnap Graduate]

It's nice to stretch your stride and put on a turn of speed.

It's not always about for how long or how far you can run.

Give IgaT! 😸

[IgaT Graduate in reply to Katnap]

That's 100% true
