Some thoughs and ideas

Post grad run now ticked off and as I was advised, a good rest was all I needed and I got a PB to boot for one of my usual routes.

I went out Sunday morning for a run in Richmond Park, about 8am, clear blue sky and frost on the ground it was lovely. Lots of runners around but I realised not many look happy and hardly any acknowledge me when I smiled and said hi. I now have a new challenge to always say hi as I pass a fellow runner and raise my hand in acknowledgement. So if you see a runner in a very bright yellow top in the Richmond area wheezing out hi and waving, it’s only me, a nod would be nice.

I have now started to lengthen my runs, I will add an extra 500m to each of my routes. I have completed one of them on Sunday which went well I have two more routes I have to do yet, once I feel comfortable I will add another 500m. It's just an idea to keep the motivation going as well as using the C25K+ podcasts.

Has anybody tried the Audio Fuel tracks that Laura recomends?

Hi cromwell, I too like to acknowledge fellow runners and dog walkers and just generally anyone else I meet. Unfortunately never likely to be running in Richmond Park so not likely to be able to wave and say hi to you except on this forum! I also had my first post grad run this morning and am now looking to get my time down to 30 mins for 5k. I'm planning to use the 5k+ runs, speed one first which I think is the Audiofuel one you are meaning? Your plan to keep adding 500m sounds interesting, keep blogging to let me know how you're doing. Good luck.

Hi oona,

Yes you are right, I will include everybody

I have seen some Audio Fuel stuff on itunes and wondered if

anyone had tried them.

I will certainly let you know how the 500m additions go.
