Week 7 run 3. SMASHED 🙌🙌

[Couchand5aday]

I absolutely loved today’s run. 25 minutes and I was actually gutted when she said 1 minuet left!

Can’t wait for Tuesdays run 🙌🙌

That’ll be you addicted then! 😊🤸‍♂️ 👏🏻It goes in so fast now! Enjoy every second! Well done, you’re on a roll, week 8 here you come! 😊🏃‍♀️🐢

[Couchand5aday in reply to Gannet1]

Thank you 😊 it is addictive isn’t it. A good playlist is a must for me 🥳

[Gannet1 Graduate in reply to Couchand5aday]

Absolutely! 😊 My first run on week 1 , I hadn’t sussed out my music and that 60 secs felt so long! 🤣 Second run with music, it was like night and day! 😄 Then I discovered Japanese Slow Running and I was off (very slowly)! 😊

Totally relate! I finished wk7 run 3 yesterday (in the monsoon rain) and just felt on such a high. I can't wait for the next run too. Well done, it sounds like you have really got the running bug.

[Couchand5aday in reply to JessPix]

Well done hun. And in that bad weather 🙌🙌. It rained a little today whilst I was out and it felt good to be cooled down. When you running next? X

[JessPix Graduate in reply to Couchand5aday]

Thank you I think I'll do Tuesday evening after work. I didn't discover the strengthening exercises on here until a couple of weeks ago when I joined so I'm trying to be careful and give myself plenty rest even though I'm itching to get out. It has taken me years to get the courage/motivation to do this so I'm worried about getting injured and having to give up so I'm trying to do things by the book. Let me know how wk8 run 1 goes - I'm excited for you/us!!

[JessPix Graduate in reply to JessPix]

Just noticed you run with your daughter. So do I!! It's been the best thing for us ever. One of the blessings of lockdown x

[Couchand5aday in reply to JessPix]

Well I did 🙄 she quit last week 🙈 but she’s only 12 so think she just got board xx

[JessPix Graduate in reply to Couchand5aday]

Bless her, my daughter's 14 and I think she just still does it to shut me up!

[Couchand5aday in reply to JessPix]

Aw where do I find the strengthening bit?

Your doing it the right way 🙌 I feel like I could go back out tomorrow but a days rest in between is a must.

BRING ON TUESDAY 🙌🙌

GO TUESDAY!!

Great job... plenty left in the tank too... fitness is ahead of your running. Enjoy week 8.

[Couchand5aday in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Thank you 😊I’m loving it. I do workout 3 times a week and walk a lot but this is on another level 🙌🙌

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to Couchand5aday]

Sounds like you got fitness down... cross training is perfect... workouts benefit from running, and runners with stronger bodies suffer less injuries. I love walking too, it stops me sitting and keeps my legs loose.

[Couchand5aday in reply to UnfitNoMore]

I was supposed to do the Yorkshire three peaks two weeks ago but it got cancelled 🙈🙈

[Jacqui2402 Graduate]

Well done. 👏🏾 Thats how I felt when I did that run on Friday. You seem to bereally enjoying it. W8R1 for me tomorrow 😁
