12.5k run NRC

[Tessie66]

12.5k 8miles I was feeling really nervous before this run I've done a few 10ks and 11.2 but for me this felt like a massive step for some reason but it went really well and I could of carried on I'm not sure about my times but for me it's getting the miles into my legs next week it goes upto 15k but I'm so glad I went with the half marathon programme on the app. It's amazing what you learn the more you run and the different pacers you can run.

That plan has helped me a lot, particularly picking up pace on long runs. The NRC marathon plan goes a step further in adding in links to the Nike Training Club, another free app. The NTC has really good strength and yoga exercises for runners, complete with coaching and video. Makes life easier for lazy people like me 😉

I'll be doing the Marathon one probably in the new year and I'll be using the NTC thank you

Well done Tessie! That's a LONG run! The NRC app really is great for pushing us in different directions and testing our self imposed limits, all in the gentlest, most well supported way. Stick with it and the 10 mile badge will soon be yours 🥰

Thank you got a 15k next week so hopefully that goes well

Well done Tessie. The half marathon is my favourite distance. Keep it up and you’ll be there in no time!

[Tessie66 Half Marathon in reply to Decker]

Thank you hoping to complete by Christmas and then move onto full marathon in the new year in preparation for the Manchester marathon next April

[Decker Ultramarathon]

Sounds like a solid plan 🙌
