GSR training

[David_G]

Hello lovely running friends!

I’m pleased to report that I’m very much on the road to recovery following my injury👍

Today I was able to run 14.33K (8.9 miles in old money😊) using the ‘99:59 minute run’ on the NRC app without any noticeable problems, though I did do a bit of Jeffing from time to time.

I’m not sure yet whether I’ll do another ‘long’ run next week. I’ll play it by ear and see how I feel. I’m now quite confident I’ll be able to run the GSR, even if I don’t do another one.🤞

Happy running everyone🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️ and enjoy the sunshine while you can (if you’ve still got it!)🌞😎

Well done David. From your lovely pics, it looks like you got out nice and early too.

I’ve still got to do my long run this week but aiming for 13-14 k too. GSR seems very close now - we can do this!

Yes I’m sure Portsmouth will be turning out to cheer us all just like normal.

A brilliant run, and so happy to hear you are well and truly on the road to recovery. And what lovely photos too, such a fantastic place to run. Good luck with the last couple of weeks of your training, although it sounds like you don't need it 👏🥳
