Weekly Virtual 5K - We Are Waterproof! ☔️

[PhoenixRise]

Consolidation Run 32

B210K - W5R3

8K 🎯

MMD’s Weekly Virtual 5K

Well, it’s certainly wet out there 🌧 Woke up this morning and after seeing the downpour outside I thought to myself that I’d run tomorrow instead ...

But - it’s also raining tomorrow and I’ve got things that I’ve planned my runs around next week so I didn’t want to cause a knock on effect by not running today 🙄

Oh well, I’m waterproof! 💪

I also don’t want to fall into the trap of postponing runs due to the weather. Otherwise I won’t run until March next year!

8K target today - no intervals because I wanted to get round and in the shower 🚿 I’m waterproof but nearly everything I wear to run in is not!

5K sub 30 minutes ✅ (Just - 29:04)

8K sub 48 minutes ✅ (Just - 47:44)

Absolutely drenched but happy 😃 that I’m still on target 🎯 with my personal 6:00 p/km average pace challenge. So, I had to complete 8K within 48 minutes ✅

I felt like I had found my 10K pace today - not slow but slower for me. Not pushing for PB’s or a race pace. (Although I did achieve 2 new PB’s 🤭). A cool, calm and collected jog today 😎

Now to make a wish list of waterproof running attire that I can’t afford 🙄 😂

Happy running you legends! 🏃‍♂️

Congratulations on your run today in the ☔ rain PhoenixRise, all those sub different times like sub 30 minute 5k, sub 60 minutes 10K, and sub 48 minutes 8K are the dreams of many runners here, well done, I am happy to get a sub 35 minutes 5K and a sub 60 minutes 8K.🏃🏾

Great job. When events return and you pay and train for one, there’s a fair chance of rain on the day... always good to be used to these things before race day.

Well done on braving the weather 🌧 It hasn’t stopped here for 2 days. No V5k for me this week as on the IC with a dodgy ankle. When I ran in the rain a couple of weeks ago I hunted out my old pac- a - Mac which looked just like it has been screwed up in a little bag for a few years 😂😂 Oh well there was no one about to see it and it did the trick 👍🏻.
