W8r2 not a walking step in sight

[SueAppleRun]

Colin has a sore knee so I made him watch the slow Japanese running video and we managed a slow28 minute run with good posture good breathing more steps but less distance than last time, we are super happy

[Buddy34 Graduate]

Well done, getting to the end of a run with no stopping is really pleasing and motivating 😊😊

[SueAppleRun Graduate in reply to Buddy34]

Thanks Buddy and for once really enjoyed it

[Oldgirlruns Graduate]

Woohoo! Well done both!

[SueAppleRun Graduate in reply to Oldgirlruns]

Thank you i was worried about his knee but we did it fine and feel so happy

[UnfitNoMore Graduate]

Well done you two... carful of that knee Colin. Enjoy run 3

[SueAppleRun Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

I’m a nagging about the knee along with pain relief resting and taking things slowly it held up fine, usually he goes off in front and i have to do little faster bits to catch up but today we ran slow together and enjoyed it more

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to SueAppleRun]

Cool... if he doesn’t keep that up you’ll need a lead on him!

[SueAppleRun Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Now that would be funny, we share headphones and if he goes too far in front they don’t work

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to SueAppleRun]

I think I’d just have to find out how slowly I could make him run!

[SueAppleRun Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

It was very slow this morning, we could sing and that’s slow

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to SueAppleRun]

I can’t run slow enough to sing... of course I can’t sing stood still either!

[SueAppleRun Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Ha ha I can’t sing but Colin is a singer/songwriter we both are musicians but he’s more versatile than me

Wonderful! Slow jogging is brilliant, isn’t it? It’s great if you have creaky joints, as it puts less strain on them, and you are still using the same muscles as for faster running, and still burning the same amount of calories for less effort! Sounds like a win-win situation! 😁

[SueAppleRun Graduate in reply to MuddledGardener]

Thanks, it was slower but an achievement with no walking we are so happy

[Somersetsmithy]

where can i find the slow running to watch .

did an 11 mile walk Saturday and now no i need to do something different

[SueAppleRun Graduate in reply to Somersetsmithy]

On youtube search japanese slow running and it explains it all. Have you started the programme yet?

[Somersetsmithy in reply to SueAppleRun]

anticipating starting in September August is busy at work and a lot going on so thought i would postpone it. i am a bit of a fraud as i expect i could run 5 km to day , but i want to easy back after a long time out into it slowly.

I did C25KM last October and enjoyed but did not push on after had a niggle and life took over.

I will have a look tonight , thanks

[SueAppleRun Graduate in reply to Somersetsmithy]

I thought I could run 5k when i started and barely managed 1 minute the first week but if you’ve done it before then you know what to expect

Good luck and that slow running is great for avoiding injuries

[DiscoRunner Graduate]

Fantastic! And slow rocks!! Did you know you use the same calories running 5k fast or slow? It’s the distance not the speed that counts - so embrace the snail & all the benefits of running are still yours but without pain or injury! I love the Japanese slow jogging technique & still run that way all the time!

[SueAppleRun Graduate in reply to DiscoRunner]

I love slow running and yes did know about the calories, when I ran years before computers and kilometers i used to calculate on about 100 calories a mile and it’s interesting now that fitbit tells me I’ve used 247 calories for about two and a half miles. Once we graduate we will increase slowly until we get 5k and see how long it takes
