Couchto5k Week 9 Run 1 ✅

8 Replies

Phew! That was a warm one! I was cautious about running today as I’ve picked up a slight groin stain from cycling! Stopping for ice cream was the culprit! Who knew cycling & ice cream was a painful combo! 🚲 🍦

Amazingly, I’ve hit over 5k again! Buzzing!, as I made a conscious effort to keep a steady pace because of the heat & being a bit wary. I pretty much ran in a straight line until Jo told me I’d hit half way.

Enjoy your Bank Holiday, Couchers!

I am sorry but I had to laugh at your typo............."slight groin stain"

Well done.

Switching from Road to mountain bike & forgetting the bike I was on, has a hydraulic seat post! Painful, if you forget to lower it when you dismount! 😲😂

Passing 5k already woohoo that's AMAZING! Apparently only about 10% of people on the programme make the 5k in 30 mins and here you are beating records before your final run!

Happy last runs!!

Thank you! I cycle a bit so that has helped, more so with my breathing & recovery! It’s an amazing learning process! It’s taken me by surprise, how much I’m enjoying it! The support & encouragement is vital, especially in the current world we are living in!

Well done especially in the heat. I’m heading out early tomorrow to try and avoid it, although I think I’ll prefer it to the recent winds

Thank you! I wish I’d gone out earlier! The winds picked up a bit, this afternoon! Enjoy your run, tomorrow!
