Hi Roseabi, Iโm afraid I need to duck out of the challenge as Iโve injured my left leg๐ข. Iโve got an appointment with a sports physio on Saturday so hopefully she can sort me out๐๐ค
Good luck to the rest of you! ๐๐ Iโll be back out there soon! ๐โโ๏ธ
Two more weeks to go? I thought this was the last week! Counting never was my thing.
Right, I hared around my usual 10k route tonight and shaved off a few more seconds. Tonight's result was 8:41/mile or 326 seconds/5:26 per km (Please as usual check maths).
I don't think I can do it again, especially as my informal pacer is doing Brighton HM on Sunday so might not be there next week. I guess this will be a test of my determination...
Iโve eased off on the speed as I had pain trouble with my left shin after my last pb attempt. Iโm trying to get a 20k in each week in prep for my March race and trying to increase both distance and speed is proving to be a bit tricky for me, so Iโm going to bow out and just focus on distance to avoid injury. Thank you for helping me get that PB tho. That was one of my 2019 goals
Just a question, got a sub group, 6 for C25k, is the 27 runs written down somewhere , so it can be called out ,to do it as a little group at the slowest personโs pace.๐ค
Too much for me to hope for to get two runs in after Thursday on week 5.๐๐๐๐๐ฅ๐โโ๏ธ๐๐๐
OK, I kept to the same course as previous weeks but did the run at lunchtime instead of early morning, which means that it was warmer hence the "secret weapon": I unzipped the legs of my trousers so I ran in shorts instead of trousers. Is that allowed for this challenge or does it disqualify today's results? So far, my best pace has been 5:14 min/Km. My plan was to keep to around that pace for the first 2Km and then push my pace for the last three. I did the first K in 4:59 (so much for a steady pace) but slowed down the second k so that, after 2K, I'd been running for 10:13 (similar to last week).
I then started pushing harder (and working extra hard in the places that were slow in previous weeks) to try and maintain pace. Times for the last three K were 4:55, 5:08 and 4:46 giving me an average pace of 5:01 (and, according to Endomondo, a 5K time of 24:56...yay! I've beaten the 25 minute mark!)
I don't know how much of that was down to switching to shorts but I feel that I put everything I had into that run.
I managed 4:22/km this week. As I need to focus on extending my longer runs and lots of hill work the next couple of weeks I may not be able to do week 5 of the challenge. Thanks Abi!
I ran 5K on Saturday in 36 minutes 31 seconds... I think that is my fastest 5K since whenever.... I have looked back through my Strava and all my outdoor 5Ks are 37 minute upwards... ! I am going to do a 5K tomorrow... and see what transpires... !
I have added this as your first run of the challenge, so I hope you have or will be posting another run! I calculate this as 7:18 min/km average pace, hope you agree!
Iโll post my latest result herecas Iโve not seen a new thread. I did quite well but not as well as I thought. Ainโt that always the way ๐คทโโ๏ธ๐คจ๐
