That’s my W9R1 run done and seeing it was only 2mins longer I got pretty far in the time I set of at 2pm and finished at 2:40pm and I feel great it was a bit windy 🌬 but nothing that I can’t handle a nice bit of rain would of been nice to cool me down lol πŸ˜‚ my next run is going to be Friday before the gym as I normally do boxercise and yoga then the gym so I’m leaving the boxercise and yoga because I want to graduate this week looking like it’s going to be Sunday graduation πŸŽ“ day yay πŸ˜€ πŸ†

Yes Kev only two more runs until you graduate, nice run for you today, wise decision on not going to boxercise or yoga on Friday as you will be running run 2 of week 9. I remember when I was running that run, the last 6 minutes were all uphill, on the last 50 metres 3 boys offered me free tablet but I refused politely and carried on until the 30 minutes were up. 😊

Thank you Kev, I wish you all the best for your graduation run on Sunday.

Yesterday I completed the last of the Stepping stones podcasts with Laura, that was the 35 minute Stamina Podcast, 10 minutes of running at 158 steps a minute, then 20 minutes of 160 steps a minute and the final 5 minutes were 165 steps a minute, a bit tiring towards the end when I had to go to the 165.

I found a great app for pacing, its called "Metrome Beats" no music but you can set it from 1 to 300 beats per minute, so a runner can set it say from 150 to 165 beats/steps a minute while out for a run, sprinting could be higher.

The next run I will do will probably be on your graduation day, next Sunday, I plan to run a full 5K, that will be the first this year, I will set the metrome app at 155 steps a minute and see how I do.

I’m glad you’re still going well yes it’s better to not run in heavy rain like I did lol πŸ˜‚ I’m going to always look at my weather app in future to make sure it’s not heavy if it’s light rain I don’t mind. Enjoy W8R2 you will soon get there πŸ˜‰πŸƒπŸ»β€β™‚οΈπŸƒπŸ»β€β™‚οΈ
