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!

Woohoo! Nothings going to slow you down, is it? Well done, you’re nearly there. Now rewards yourself with.....anything but 🍦

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!
