Coppied from. My bridge to 10k post so that the c25kers would se it too!!

Just heard about this...

runningworldcup.com/

And as I am about to take on juju's magic plan I thought it might help gee me along and where else am I going to go to get people to join the madness? 😜

All you have to be able to do is 3k in under 30mins, which is just a tiny bit faster than walking pace, so most people should be able to join in.

Is anyone else doing this?

I signed up a while ago thinking I would have graduated (before IC). I’m hoping I’ll be up to 3k by the time it starts 🤞🏼

We can run 3k in under 30 minutes and it sounds great, until i remember we both have flu and my trip to hospital for respiratory failure so will have a think about it when we are well again and back out running

Noooo! You poor thing! I hope you get better soon and am sure that you will have enough in you to get back on the road when you are fully recovered. X

Well it made me kick the smoking habit so there are some positives, can’t smoke when you can’t breathe and 5 days later the thought of smoke in my lungs horrifies me, Willow too has flu now so we are an old couple coughing and spluttering in bed

My friend also has flu and never smoked but has spent over a week mostly in bed and i have heard of others being hospitalized with this flu,

Onwards and upwards we will get better and we will run again

In the meantime i’m cheering from the couch and loving everyone’s positivity

Well done on giving up the cigs, it is not easy (I have managed without tobacco since end of November, with a little oops on nye!) but I can really tell the difference when running, walking, climbing the stairs, waking up without a cough! I was never as bad as some of the people I see, but there is still a huge improvement. Get better soon guys! (glad you have each other to splutter at!)
