What do others do on rest days? I’ve seen this question asked before and usually if not working we don’t do much on rest days, laundry, shopping stuff like that
Today we decided to go for a walk and we couldn’t help ourselves but run parts of it
We call this walk 2 bridges because we cross the river by a road bridge and cross back on a wooden bridge
Happy Monday
I’ll quite often go for a walk. I don’t know where you are on the program, but if/when you get to 5.3 it’s interesting to occasionally walk the same route as you run. I still think ‘there’s not a chance I can run that far’!
I have run 8k and 6k a few times, we regularly run 5k as graduated towards the end of last year,
I am not sure i’d actually go for an 8k walk though it would take too long
That was a nice walk and a little running for you today., that is a lovely photo of the two bridges, you ask what runners do on their rest non running days.
I intend to run a 12K on Wednesday so I thought I would save energy and go for a gentle walk this morning, I had Mapmywalk with me to tell me my pace and time.
When Alexa the autovoice told me my 3K split time of 39.39 I shouted back at her "surely not" then I remembered that this walk was to save energy for Wednesday, I completed the 5.65Km walk in 1 hour 13 minutes which is my average time for running a 10K.
Perfect time for a walk then Al, enjoy the rest of Sunday
Ha, I think you mean Monday, I usually walk a 5K in around the 52 to a 55-minute time range, today I deliberately set out to go a slow leisurely 5K walk or just a little over, there is very nice countryside near to where I live, no sea but countryside with a few farms that I pass, I have 'powerwalked' a 5K in 47 minutes, all the K split times being under 10 minutes, during my slow walk this morning I saw 3 runners, two of them were running around the 31 minute 5K pace, the other who was running around a rugby field was running at I would say 37 minute 5K pace, it was rather interesting seeing her because when I first saw her I had just completed just over 1.5K of my walk, I continued in a loop and when I got back to that rugby field at my slow pace which I had then covered 4.8 Km she was still running around that field, I think she must have been running a 10K of more.
That’s very interesting, always good to see runners. Oh dear, I worked Saturday, had family over to dinner Sunday which was bbq type food and salad and cooking a roast today no wonder I’m confused, earlier Willow said why does it feel like a Sunday? and I said because I’m cooking sundays dinner lol
😂
I like how the walk was too slow and that you both had a wee sneaky run in there!!
Yes me too, I’d stop to take photos run to catch Willow up and he’d hear me running and start running as well
Looks beautiful, think I recognise this spot - cloudy my side of the downs today. May be I should come and run by the sea? 😉
Yes do, it was cloudy to the north and bright blue over the sea, I live walking by the river Adur it’s always different
Walk, yoga, stretching, situps or stationary bike but then the runs are not very taxing at the moment. 🤸🏻♀️👍
I certainly couldn’t fit all that in, i usually catch up on sleep between work
Yes sorry...no work at present so trying to stay off the couch. So tempted. 🙄
Couches are great lol but being out in the fresh sore is better
Absolutely 🌴🤸♀️👏👍
What a fantastic place you live. You are blessed 😄Rest day for me today, just in from work and went out for lovely long walk with dog and hubbie over fields and ponds. Maybe a bit of foam rolling later to help my aching knee.
That sounds perfect to me
Hi WillowandSola, I recognise that view of the College. We were down on the beach Thursday evening watching the paddle boarders & enjoying the sunset. Tide went out further than usual exposing large tracts of sand but we sat higher up on the pebbles. One of our favourite haunts especially in winter. Great place to watch the lightning storms dance amongst the wind turbines
Yes totally perfect, we are lucky in this area sea, downs, river and plenty of parks, where do you run?
Feel very lucky to have great varied routes on the doorstep. Enjoy the Weald’s woodlands, Downs Link & the South Downs. Fabulous photos btw
