He shoots, he scores, back of the net 🙂! Nor much else to say really apart from 4.1km furthest yet 👍

Love your football metaphors Cfc55, well done on running 4.1km today with the completion of run 2 of week 4. Your next goal will be to score and complete hopefully not in extra time run 3 of week 4.

Not quite sure how you are running 4.1 K in Week 4???

Most folk don't manage 5K in Week 9 ...Just curious?

Week 4. For your 3 runs in week 4, you will begin with a brisk 5-minute walk, then 3 minutes of running, 1-and-a-half minutes of walking, 5 minutes of running, 2-and-a-half minutes of walking, 3 minutes of running, 1-and-a-half minutes of walking and 5 minutes of running.

Plus the 5 minute warmdown walk, well according to Runkeeper that’s what it said 🤷‍♂️Don’t know how accurate it measures.

I looked back at my 4:2 and I did 3.2km running with an average pace of 11'29"km so I imagine it could be possible with a faster pace. I run at snails pace and apparently walk it too 😂

Congrats for your run - sounds like you are going great guns. Don't be too tempted to push for speed yet - the increase in running time will be enough for your body to cope with. I very nearly ended up with an injury this week (end of week 6) due to pushing too hard.

I’m conscious of going too hard, had to take 2 weeks off after week 2 with dodgy knees! I don’t feel I’m going too fast when I’m running, breathing is ok etc. I’ve even tried to shorten my stride a bit, bit I’m 6ft5 so my legs will only shorten so much 😂

[Granspeed Graduate in reply to Cfc55]

Don’t want to see you with really short legs then. 😱 Guess the height difference helps explain why your W4 distance is about the same as my W7! 😊

[Cfc55 Graduate in reply to Granspeed]

😂 well would look a bit odd with long body and short wee legs right enuff 😂! Yes the stride length is kinda what I’m thinking too, as I really can’t go too fast with my dodgy knees 😂

[Pianism Graduate in reply to Cfc55]

I envy your long legs! Mine feel much shorter than they probably are. All the very best with progressing through the plan - you will be amazed at how much better you feel. It might even help your knee pain.

Thanks you too👍. Last run of week 4 tonight 🙂
