Week 6 Run 3

[Rennur]

Done.

First 3 minutes fine (slow down, slow down)

Next 10 minutes... ooh my right calf (I'll run it off) ...ooh my left calf (if I can run off one I can run off the other.)

"You've run 5 minutes." OK.

"You're half way through" What happened to 10 minutes gone... let's call that a freebie.

"Five more minutes" hmm about 100m less than my 20 minute run but I suppose that's good pacing, and I can't give up now

"ONE MORE MINUTE" OK Iam going to up my pace. Why are my legs so heavy?

I will get as close to the 3.1k circuit start as I can..give myself a target for next time.

"Slow down to a walk now."

Walking a bit slow now... getting back to normal.

Hold on. I just ran 2.94 km in 25 minutes that is just under 7 km ph.

So it wasn't that slow after all

Oh and it was raining throughout.

Happy days

It's strange how the distance happens when you're not thinking about it.

... like a time warp!

[nowster Graduate in reply to GailXrunning]

It's just a step to the left...

Good run for you today Rennur, congratulations on completing run 3 of week 6, you are now OFFICIALLY a RUNNER, onwards and upwards to week 7 which are all 3/25 minute runs. 🏃🏾

[Rennur Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Cheers Al.

Still find it strange to call myself a runner.

More like a plodder.

Now just to repeat what I did 3 more times

I may be faster, I may be slower Hopefully I won't be wetter.

But if it is wet at least I've experienced 3 wet runs now.

Well done - I bet you’re so pleased- and in the rain too. (I spend too much time studying the met office app and planning for the predicted fine weather slots.)

[Rennur Graduate in reply to GailXrunning]

I used to play cricket so I became an amateur meteorologist by default.

Later on I also used to be involved in Met Office funding and visited them in Exeter once.

I am starting to tolerate the rain, now
