Wow the Quest forum really works 😂

[Setters]

After posting on the new March quest forum that one of my goals for March was to actually run 5k, I only went and blooming well did it! 🍾🥂🍾🥂😎😁 and dare I say it in a not too shabby time for an old girl. Cannot believe I actually did it, but everything was going so smoothly this morning it just seemed attainable, and when I got back to the car and saw I had 5 mins to go and was 4.2k I just had to give it a go.

Very, very happy

Wow, great work!

I like your app, which one is that?

[Setters Graduate in reply to sofiaO]

Garmin connect on my iPad, I bought myself a Garmin Forerunner 35 when I graduated.Love it, so much info about a run 🙂

[sofiaO Graduate in reply to Setters]

Thanks. It does look really great, I haven't found anything that works well for me yet. Maybe I'll reward myself with a garmin at the end of the quest!

[Setters Graduate in reply to sofiaO]

It’s really easy to use and read whilst running. II have set it to vibrate when I get to goal times, distance and it also tells me if I keep to the pace I want. I think it is one of the cheapest running watches, and I went for one with a white strap on Amazon as that was the cheapest option, and because I use a the cheapest Fitbit to count Steps and distance, the strap colour was not important to me as I only wear it whilst running.

Easy to use and accuracy are essential, although I am still mostly doing my running on a treadmill so I don't think I really need one just yet. Trainers first!

[Setters Graduate in reply to sofiaO]

Trainers always first, then sports bra, everything else can wait IMO 😉

Love my Garmin Forerunner 235. A couple of button presses and you are running, easy to read the screen, and I do love a statistic or two. Also battery life is excellent, I’m wearing it all the time, running 3 x 5k a week and only charging it once a week... 🙂

Wow... nailing it on day one! Congratulations!

[Setters Graduate]

Was very surprised but run so comfortable just seemed inevitable somehow, not planned at all. Probably the best way. Thought zi would get to 5k when running time was 40 mins or so, so very happy.

[ktsok Graduate]

Well done Setters! That’s brilliant. And I’m envious of your low bpm whilst running 🙂

[Setters Graduate in reply to ktsok]

My resting is 60 so start from a lowish place!

[ktsok Graduate in reply to Setters]

My RHR is sub 60, occasionally as low as 54, but as soon as I run I’m in the 160s. Really annoying!

Well, may you be setting the tone for all of us this month! 👏🏼🎉

[Setters Graduate]

Well if I can do it.................

Hey, well done, Setters! Keep breaking those records! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😊
