Apologises Thinking Allowed Again.

[Tbae]

Amazing stuff being achieved on here.Too many to mention but it is thought provoking and inspiring.

I used to beat myself up for having too many plans and changing them.Boring🙈 not enough doing and too much talking.

But hey ho, just realised it comes with being a novice🤔 and also we are all uniquely different and have different needs and indeed reasons for giving and using our gift of running.👍

Little brain cell busy, too busy.Working on two plans.

1) Using Abi’s SSC caption I nearly stole a Crown I am pursuing this morning.Knocked 14 secs off in two 200m runs.Two more seconds I need now.Its so close I can taste it.

2) Thinking of revising my Couch to Once in a Lifetime Marathon initial plan.Inspired by GoGoJoJo,( Mrs Brown/Mrs✅ to me) and one of many of Tasha’s ideas on here, I am going to look at a shorter build up programme when I start back through C25k, bridge,HM and maybe not for the final stage.

Also considering just leaving from the door and keep returning to refuel as the miles and hours builds up for me from 30 mins to 6/ 7 hours.Looking at two sessions morning and afternoon as things progress with unlimited rest in between the main three types of programme runs required.All the twitch fibres developed.🤔

So no rigid frequency at all, just a running response when ready ( plus one day alla Pete Magill) but doing the scheduled run type in order.🤔

No event for me, as per my HM, just ✅ the Marathon distance box and experience what that feels like.

Go the magic forum.Atb with your plans and running enjoyment.

👊💥🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️⭐️⭐️👏👏

I love your creative thinking. Loops and spirals but all leading back to the central point. Very unusual perceptions of life you have x

Hi Tbae, I like that caption, "When I was a boy" I didn't see too many scary things on television, you knocked off 14 seconds in the 200 metres, excellent, that reminds me of when I was in Primary School I won some sprint runs like the 50 yards dash, but despite the wins I gave up running and took up cycling instead. If I can remember correctly at age 11 they forced me to run a race that I did not want to run, but when I ran it I deliberately slowed down to let everyone else beat me, ouch, I think I got a telling off from both my teacher and my father, but after that I did not do any more running and concentrated on cycling until I began running again 50 years later with C25K last year. You said that you would be restarting that again soon.

By the way I have not given up cycling, this morning I went for a 12 Kilometre cycle ride, that's 24 hours after my second 5K parkrun at Dunfermline yesterday,

[Tbae Metric Marathon in reply to AlMorr]

Lovely to reminisce Alan.

Looking forward to seeing your sub 30 min Parkrun.

👊💥🏃‍♂️⭐️👏👏

[AlMorr Half Marathon in reply to Tbae]

I am not sure about a sub 30 minute 5k at parkrun, the two I have ran in were 34.16 and yesterday 34.17, however, my two PB's have been ran locally round the loch nearby to where I live, 32.25 and the best being 32.23, interesting, those 4 runs being in each case only 2 and 1 seconds between them, perhaps I have reached my limit, maybe I could run a sub 30 minute 5k on a treadmill. 😊 🏃

[Tbae Metric Marathon in reply to AlMorr]

We have no limits Alan.🤔

Believe it my friend.

Just got to want it enough.

All about enjoyment also.

Going to post an interesting video for you produced in Edinburgh.

If you are interested, perhaps it will be useful.

👊💥🏃‍♂️⭐️👏👏

[AlMorr Half Marathon in reply to Tbae]

Looking forward to seeing that video which was produced in Edinburgh Tbae.

[AlMorr Half Marathon in reply to Tbae]

Sorry Tbae, when I tapped the link a message with what looks like a monkey with a tennis racket said "this video is not available"

[AlMorr Half Marathon in reply to Tbae]

Got it Tbae, read the articles and watched the video, excellent advice with lovely views of Arthur's Seat in Edinburgh in the background.

[Tbae Metric Marathon in reply to AlMorr]

Great Alan.👍 Posted the corrected link letters / numbers but unable to supply a proper link.🙈🤣

[AlMorr Half Marathon in reply to Tbae]

👍 The weather now where I am is yuk, it's raining, not too heavy but I am glad that I am not out on my bike or running, it was dry when I was out my cycle ride this morning.

Tomorrow morning I am going to have a walk around Milngavie Reservoir near Mugdock Country Park, that is where I ran one of the 25 minutes runs last year before I graduated from C25K.

[Tbae Metric Marathon in reply to AlMorr]

That’s where a chimp in the zoo there got a hold of my hair.

Just a kid, too near the bars, trip out from the Highlands, never been right since.🙈🤣🤣

[AlMorr Half Marathon in reply to Tbae]

Never been right since, ha, really, I do remember you telling me about that chimp, zoo long gone, the place us now called Mugdock Country Park, on it's extreme southern border there is the now famous international West Highland Way, the last time I went a walk round the reservoir I got off the train at Milngavie there were about 20 backpackers, mainly from abroad beginning their 95 mile walk to Fort William up the West Highland Way.

[Tbae Metric Marathon in reply to AlMorr]

Yes as you know I am from Kinlochleven,considered the penultimate stop if going North or the first stop if going South.

👊💥🏃‍♂️⭐️👏👏

[AlMorr Half Marathon in reply to Tbae]

Most people who walk the WHW do it going north.

Got there eventually, I deleted a link that I put in that didn't work Tbae... xx

[Tbae Metric Marathon in reply to Bluebirdrunner]

Brillant Jan.❤️👏👏Thanks.👍

[limberlou Half Marathon in reply to AlMorr]

That made me laugh and remember my little sister, who lived swimming and was really good at it but at age 7 refused point blank to do swimming at school because it was compulsory. She wanted to swim because SHE wanted to not because someone made her

She just used to stand at the end of the pool till they gave up. She’s not changed even at 57!!

[AlMorr Half Marathon in reply to limberlou]

The reason for me refusing and being stubborn may well have been the same as your sister at swimming, I think the reason for me being fast at running was because of the amount of cycling I did at the time, I did like the 🚲 bike instead of running 🏃 If my father had said to me "if you win this race (the one that I slowed down) I will buy you a new bike" I would have gone all out and won the race. 😊 🏃

[Sqkr Half Marathon]

You just do you, tbae! Try anything and everything you fancy. Why not! Plans are brilliant, they motivate and focus us, but never have to be set in stone. We all evolve our approaches as we run, consciously or otherwise, and all those approaches are absolutely individual and unique. It's great to hear about all those different experiences on here too, I think it can be really inspiring.

[Tbae Metric Marathon in reply to Sqkr]

Hi Sqkr,

Thank you for your clarity of thought.❤️

That really helps and is very supportive.

I am even more determined to go and take that Crown now for you and the magic forum.🤣

👊💥🏃‍♀️⭐️👏👏

[Tbae Metric Marathon]

🤣🤣.

[Bluebirdrunner]

That quote is lovely Tbae, gave me shivers😊x

I can feel how keen you are to make a start on your training plan...counting down the days...

Maybe tweaking your garden a little in between running days could be your cross training, so it doesn't feel usurped.

Quick sprinting today.

😊xxx

[Tbae Metric Marathon in reply to Bluebirdrunner]

Thanks Jan, I am ready to do what it takes to get this all comers Crown.🙈🤣❤️

👊💥🏃‍♀️⭐️👏👏

[Bluebirdrunner in reply to Tbae]

👊do it!😁xxx

[Tbae Metric Marathon in reply to Bluebirdrunner]

It’s done just for you and all the Admins.❤️👏👏

[Tbae Metric Marathon]

Thank you Jan.❤️

Your are so right Jan.I cannot believe the benefits the garden has returned.

Just tried to describe to Alan how he can see that video.It will not let me upload the description.🙈🤣.I will keep trying.

I think it is a terrific piece of work and not because it’s produced in Scotland.🙈🤣

👊💥🏃‍♀️⭐️👏👏

[Bluebirdrunner in reply to Tbae]

Put the link in for you Tbae...the whole thing from Dr Murray...😊x

[Tbae Metric Marathon in reply to Bluebirdrunner]

Thanks Jan.❤️👏👏

[GoGo_JoJo Ultramarathon]

I loved Mr Rogers, such a genuine chap. He never 'acted' in his TV series as he said children could spot a liar a mile away.

You are gonna get that crown and I am in no doubt you'll tick that box. You just go with the flow and I know you'll make it 👍🏻💪🏻😁

[Tbae Metric Marathon in reply to GoGo_JoJo]

Thanks Jo.❤️

Hope your repair/recovery is going good.

You certainly put the preparation miles in and some more.👍👏👏

You have put your finger on it,💡💥 thanks, got to just try and do that.🤔🙈🤣

👊💥🏃‍♀️⭐️👏👏

[GoGo_JoJo Ultramarathon in reply to Tbae]

I'm actually amazed... very little recovery needed, just a bit of extra stretching and yesterday I ate like a horse!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣👍🏻

[Tbae Metric Marathon]

That is fantastic Jo. Doing all the right things.You deserve it and have earned it.Clever and thoughtful.👏👏

Love the eating description.🐴 Neehee.

👊💥🏃‍♀️⭐️👏👏
