Well that was much better, nice slow pace, 4k, 34 mins!!! 😀 breathing fine, the rain stopped for me, not too cold, no gloves tonight, dont think i'm cut out for speed! 🤣

Actualy, it's mad i'm saying a comfortable 34 min run, blimey wouldnt have said that 12 weeks ago! 🥵

Anyway, next run sat morning, might try a slow 🐌🐌🐌 6k, will see how i feel, as i'll be 57 by then!!! 🤣

Going great guns Peter44 that's a whole heap of consolidation runs under your belt, perhaps maybe take a look at bridge to 10k and moving up gradually towards that new badge 👍💪

[Peter44 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Might start with the magic 60 mins, then head towards 10k, but slowly!!! 🤣

[Alvor Graduate]

Great stuff! I love it, comfortable 34 minute run! No running for me, snow and ice and I’m not that brave. Hopefully back out at the weekend 🤞🏻

[Peter44 Graduate in reply to Alvor]

I know, it's mad, i always remember those first few weeks!!! 🥵 we've had rain all day, but stopped by the time i got home from work, sleet forcast overnight! 🥶

[Bambi2020 Graduate]

Well done for heading out and getting a good run in- it feels more enjoyable when you take it steady and don’t hammer it. I was home late from work so going to have to go for my run tomorrow instead - have a good birthday meal tomorrow! 🎂 🍷

[Peter44 Graduate in reply to Bambi2020]

Thank you ☺, yes i think i'll leave the faster runs to you youngsters!!! 🤣

[GailXrunning Graduate]

Brilliant!

Comfortable. Running. Breathing fine. Running. 34 minutes. Running. Age 56-57. Running. Nice slow pace. Running. Say no more! 😆😆👏👏👏✨✨✨

Happy birthday run coming up too. Hope it’s more of the same!

[Peter44 Graduate in reply to GailXrunning]

Thanks, sitting here with my girls, talking about what a mad year it's been, furloughed for 5 months, but now running, so not all bad!!! 😀

[Rennur Graduate]

Careful now. I might be overtaking you. You might even be overtaking me in age if you're not careful.

We are hard on ourselves rather. I would never have said 3 months ago "still less than 4K, that's disappointing" more like "are you joking!"

[Peter44 Graduate]

It's mad how far we've all come, i even mentioned 60 mins/10k to IMC50, what am i saying!!! 🤣, probably getting a bit ahead of myself, tue nights run, told me, slow down!!! 🥵Ummmm, overtaking you in age 🤣

[sparky66 Graduate]

Fantastic Peter ..you are doing brilliant..you are a few consolidation runs in front of me..so been watching your progress 😀

I'm running at just under 8.30 /k

You must be doing around 8.. that's fast 👍

Wishing you a good run on Saturday..I'm going to try for another 5k Saturday..all being well x

🏃‍♂️🙌🏃‍♀️

[Peter44 Graduate in reply to sparky66]

Thanks, saw your post too, sounds a good run, it does feel good to be able to do these runs, fairly comfortably, my average tonight was 8.26/km, so we're about the same, i went too fast on tue nights run!!! 🥵

[sparky66 Graduate]

And Happy Birthday 🎈🎂🎈💐

[Imoca]

Happy Birthday Peter, hope you have a fabulous day and a great run tomorrow 🏃🎉🥳

[Peter44 Graduate in reply to Imoca]

Thank you! ☺

[Teresafaith Graduate]

Happy Birthday Peter, I'm on CR3 and turned 64 in October - inspired by your great progress although I really don't know how i got where I am!- couldn't run for 60 seconds when I started C25K in September. It's pretty unbelievable😱- keep running, you're doing great.

[Peter44 Graduate in reply to Teresafaith]

Thanks, i know what you mean, it's mad to think how far we've all come!!! 😀🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️😀

[LauraRuns Graduate]

Great progress Peter, well done!! 🥳🙌🏼

[Peter44 Graduate in reply to LauraRuns]

Thank you. 😀

[Buddhagal Graduate]

Well done Peter, nice comfortable cruising 34 mins run, you sound a lot happier than Tues👍👍😁. Youve done absolutely amazing with your consolidation runs....should be really proud of yourself. Have a fab birthday 🎈🎂🎁🍾🍷🍹🍸🥃 and celebrate, you deserve to. 🦌🐌🐢🏃‍♀️🙋

[Peter44 Graduate in reply to Buddhagal]

Thanks, yep def a bit too fast on tue, another lesson learnt! 🤣Going out for a meal with the kids, i also have a 24 year old son, but doesnt run with me, too busy on his playstation!!! 🤣

[Buddhagal Graduate in reply to Peter44]

Oh fab, have a good one👍👍. Know the PlayStation one...my ex boss used to come to his weekend residence and spent most of the weekend playing...he was 31. Each to there own 😂🤣😂. Enjoy tonight🎂🎁🍾🍷🍹. 🦌🐌🐢🏃‍♀️🙋

[Speedy60 Graduate]

Speed is overrated!

[jimytwo2 Graduate]

Hi Peter . Well done. I’m glad you have found a more sustainable pace. I will follow your lead on that. I’ve decided to skip 2 runs to really give my muscles a chance to heal after over doing it and will run a gentle 30 min on Saturday then hopefully back to 3 runs next week. I read on here somewhere that you keep your current fitness for one week . So hopefully Saturday will go smoothly .

[Peter44 Graduate in reply to jimytwo2]

That sounds a very sensible idea, i felt much better after last nights run, i think my body is saying, hang on, you've not run like this, for probably 30 years!!! 🤣

[Moet527 Graduate]

Sounds like success to me! Keep it up!

[PaddleboardPrincess Graduate]

Brilliant work Peter. You’re right that it’s crazy how far we’ve all come - definitely something to celebrate! Hope you have a lovely birthday. 🎂

[Peter44 Graduate in reply to PaddleboardPrincess]

Thank you, hope the consolidation runs are going well. 😀

[shuffleido Graduate]

Belated Happy Birthday - I hope you really enjoyed it. Are you out running in this today?? I know we keep mentioning how far we've come and I do laugh when we say things like .... I only managed 4k or only 15 minutes to go or even thinking of the 10K plan.

I do hope that Newbies read this and realise that it is achievable and that we also had lots of issues in week 1, but look at us now.

[Peter44 Graduate in reply to shuffleido]

Thank you, and your so right with what you say, those early weeks running, dont seem that long ago, and now look at us!!! 🤣Yes, just got back from a run, lovely weather here today! 🌞
