Whoops a day late... what is your week April wk 4

[Realfoodieclub]

Sorry for being a bit late. I have got all, out of sync with the holidays over the weekend 😀 Hope you have all had a great time

The numbers of folk on the forum increase daily.. and although it is tricky to keep up with everyone's progress... it is great to have a little fun post, so we can see who is on which week of the programme, and hopefully it will help everyone to feel more included on the forum.

We can support, encourage and generally help each other, in a positive and friendly way, with no thought of comparison.

Please remember it doesn't matter if you stay on the same week for a while, that is fine; it is a journey and it really doesn't matter how long it takes, it will be so worth it when you get to the final run.

If you have just graduated, also, this will be a great place to keep you motivated,and there is always the Quest on the Bridge to 10k forum also, for Graduates., and the new Quest on here too...launched last month !

One of the best things about this weekly chat is that you can talk to each other, support and encourage each other and find folk on the same week or run as you.

So, please do come and join the fun.... Let us know how it is going

Busy week for me, lots of walking with one run. Some weeks go like that but as long as I’m still keeping active it doesn’t bother me. 😀. I think I covered a total of over 40km all in all but only 7km was running.

Have a great week

All being well I should graduate tomorrow 😬

[Hidden in reply to Julia187]

Good luck! You’ll do great 👍

[Realfoodieclub Graduate in reply to Julia187]

Good luck. An exciting day. Rfc x

[Julia187 Graduate in reply to Realfoodieclub]

It is, I did it!

[Realfoodieclub Graduate in reply to Julia187]

Congratulations and well done 🥂⭐️🏃‍♀️🥇

End of w4 for me!

I promised myself proper running shoes if I got this far. My faithful old trainers have served me well, but I’m looking forward to having new ones!! Gait analysis here I come 😃!

[Realfoodieclub Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Oh exciting, love new shoes they feel so good. Rfc x

Week (I’ve lost count). This week has sprint intervals in for me 😱. No long run either... roll on next week!

I have been working on my routes... in one park I have found an easy to not miss loop off my lap that adds exactly 1/3 of a mile on, which should come in handy. Off to the next park later to see what I can add in there.

[Realfoodieclub Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

I love it when a route comes together and can be extended. It makes it so much easier. Rfc x

[EvieFBsmum Graduate]

Finished week 6 today, covered 4.2km in total, so happy with that even if it was hard work lol...onto week 7 on Thursday - can't believe how far I have come tbh.

[Bookbizlady Graduate in reply to EvieFBsmum]

Same run as.me and I've got 7/1 on Thursday too! It's great how each step leads to the next isn't it! I remember looking through the runs when I was in week 1 and thinking I couldn't imagine I'd be running for 25 minutes by week 6!

[EvieFBsmum Graduate in reply to Bookbizlady]

It is amazing, isnt it...loved the bit where Michael Johnson told me I could now call myself a runner. lol

[Realfoodieclub Graduate in reply to Bookbizlady]

Here you are well done. Good luck. Rfc x

[EvieFBsmum Graduate in reply to Realfoodieclub]

Thank you very much...found the support on here very helpful..cannot believe I am where I am...on holiday for week 9 but have checked and the ship has a 400m jogging track - yay!

[Realfoodieclub Graduate in reply to EvieFBsmum]

You will have to tell us if it feel different running on a boat, I can’t imagine how it would feel. Rfc x

[EvieFBsmum Graduate in reply to Realfoodieclub]

I will do...apparently it has some tight turns at each end and some blind spots so could get interesting.

[Realfoodieclub Graduate in reply to EvieFBsmum]

You are doing great, not long to graduation now. Rfc x

[SeeJillRun Graduate]

Just completed my 6th consolidation run this morning. Still not quite comfortable with the 30 minutes, mostly cos of the heat so thinking another week of consolidation n then I’ll reassess

[Realfoodieclub Graduate in reply to SeeJillRun]

The heat will make a big difference it takes us a few weeks to acclimatise. Well done. Rfc x

[SeeJillRun Graduate in reply to Realfoodieclub]

Will definitely bear that in mind moving forward then, thanks xx

[Livepins Graduate]

W4 R1 completed on Monday, thought I would fail but did it despite the midday sun along our promenade. I found the link to the you tube video for running slowly has really helped me. I may not be going fast but the sense of achievement for keeping at it for the duration was amazing!

[Realfoodieclub Graduate in reply to Livepins]

That is great news, I’m never going to be fast but I love the feeling a run gives me. It is all about finding your pace for you. Happy Running.

[JPDuck Graduate]

Wk6 for me 😊

[Realfoodieclub Graduate in reply to JPDuck]

Good luck. Happy running. Rfc x

[Wiggy-Giggy Graduate]

I did W9R1 this morning. Somehow managed 4.32km in 30 mins - chuffed to bits!

[Realfoodieclub Graduate in reply to Wiggy-Giggy]

That is great news, well done. Rfc x

[bexcrowe Graduate]

Now entering week 4!

[Realfoodieclub Graduate in reply to bexcrowe]

Good luck, happy running. Rfc x

[Nwyfre Graduate]

Just finished week 7. I found the heat tough, and I changed my route to go through fields but the uneven ground hurt my ankle. This morning was back to plodding around and around the cricket pitch in the rain... Probably my worst run to date!

Oh well, onwards and upwards.

[Hbb1502 Graduate]

Did run 1 of week 3 yesterday. Have work tomorrow and then have to go back for some training in the evening so need to wait until Friday to do run 2 but it’ll get done!

[Aakk Graduate]

One run left to go...🏃🏃

[Diana63]

I’ve just started wk 4 having spent weeks on wk3. Surprise, surprise it was fine! Hoping to do wk4 run2 on Tuesday.

Good running everyone!🦋
