Wk 9 Run 1

Well week 9 is finally here and graduation is fast approaching so can I run for 30minutes?

Too right I can, I only did it πŸƒπŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

So decided to start runkeeper only for the run element, just to see gauge distance / time.

First 5mins great, steady pace then before I know it I realise I’m further than I have been and haven’t even heard the half way bell, lets carry on.

20mins gone and felt my pace was slowing down and that little voice in my head β€˜come on you need to pick it back up, you can do this’

Well no where near 5K in 30 mins but that is something to work towards Actually 3.6K and I’m happy with that.

Happy Running everyone and stay safe πŸƒπŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

Thank you LauraRuns. Yes week 1 I struggled and anyone with little or no fitness level will agree it was tough. I feel this has worked for me, developing my fitness, stamina and helping me mentally and physically. Next goal 5K πŸ˜€

Look at you! No sweat! (Maybe that needs rephrasing?!) 30 mins in the bag. Well done πŸ‘ πŸ‘ πŸ‘ Be happy πŸ˜ƒ

Really interesting for me to see your actual distance too... something I’m really curious about but have not yet tracked.

Thanks GailXrunning, I had tracked week 7 and week 8 but from start to finish. With todays run being 30mins was curious how far I could go at my snails pace 🀣
