Hello everyone and Welcome to the Tortoise and Hare Running Club !
Here we share our running/ walking adventures! Feel free to join us and tell us all about your week whether you run slowly or fast, a lot or just a little...
On this picture you can see the path where I cycle and run a lot... At the moment it’s freezing but I still managed to run 4 times this week (around 35 minutes). At the moment I am running to counterbalance the fact that I’m probably eating way too much !!🤣
So please tell me about your goals for the next week or maybe for 2020.
I wish you all a very Happy New Year 2020🎆🎉🎉🍀!!

Hi! I’m back after 4 months off (ooops) and managed run 2 of week 6 of the couch to 5k (10 mins run, 3 mins walk, 10 mins run) yesterday. It doesn’t sound much but it’s a huge amount for me. Ran past this fella on the way ❤️
Ha! Thanks- I’ve been faffing around with c25k for ages, never quite reaching the end. But I’m determined this time! I’ve recently taken rugby up again (after a couple of decades off!) and need to up my fitness! 😊
Good luck with the program .. the hardest part is really to begin. And do not worry if you need more days rest between Runs at the begining, just need a few Runs to get used to it
Hi madameirir thanks for hosting!! I LOVE your picture but ... Brrrrr how cold !!! Not a bad running week for me .. i am on holidays and also want to graduate in the c25k program next week so I have done w9 run 1 and 2 this week, both 30 minutes long. The weather was quite cold (yesterday just 2 Celsius) but i was really motivated so I can finish the program before the end of the year !! I let you know !!
Great to hear you're enjoying your holidays, and that you've completed runs in w9 - both 30 minutes long - really great! You're sounding motivated and I hope you enjoy the week ahead, and succeed with your goal to finish the program before the end of the year - you can do this!
Thank you for hosting the Tortoise & Hare Club today - and I love the photo - it looks like a wonderful path for cycling and running along. Fantastic that you ran 4 times this week - that is really great! You sound energetic and motivated - and I would like to wish you a Very Happy New Year for 2020 - lots of opportunities to run and enjoy exercise.
This week I did one run, and that was this morning. I ran along the cliff-paths here in Guernsey, and ran for 39 minutes. I was thinking of Seuzan in particular, when running up the hills and steps - and I was thinking of everyone in this great Running Club and thanking you all for the fact that you all inspired me to actually get out and run today! I feel like the virtual support is immense, and that you're all there in spirit.
Regarding hopes for 2020 - I hope to continue with Running as part of my routine - haven't made any specific goals yet - but I will be doing so, once I've reflected on last year - which I hope to do over the coming days.
Wishing everyone a Very Happy New Year for 2020, and looking forward to sharing experiences of Running and exercising - and cheering each other on.
That’s great that you ran 39 minutes this week ! It’s true that the support is great here. It means a lot to me too and I feel accountable and very often it pushes me to go out and still go for a small run!
It’s great if running becomes part of your routine, that’s a great goal!!
I hope to be able to run a 10km in less than an hour again this year. I’ll have to look on the internet for a specific training.
Have a great week and a Very Happy New Year 2020! 🎉🎆😊
Thank you for thinking of me Zest when you were running up those hills. I too appreciate how you have given so much positivity and encouragement to me to keep on running. I love the support and friendship from our lovely running club pals! Xxxx
It’s great that you managed walking 19 miles! It’s normal to put on some weight around Christmas and New Year’s Eve. I’m sure you’ll do better in January !!💪🍀🎆 I wish you a very Happy New Year 2020!🎉🤗
Sorry to hear you have had a tough week Gary - everything passes so hopefully you will come through the clouds and find some sunny times ahead. All the best! ☀️
Well done for doing 19 miles of walking, that's no mean feat when you've got lots going on - I think you've done really well to do that. I feel sure there's a better week ahead for us all - Christmas is so challenging with all the festive treats etc, so now those are behind us, we can focus on the New Year - and I feel sure it's going to be a good one - here's hoping!
Hi. I’ve started C25K & just done week 1 run 2, complete change for me. Not run for years! On a weightloss journey since Dec 2018. Decided to start before Jan that year & here I am starting the running before the next new year haha
Really great that you've started the C25K, and completed week 1, run 2. I hope you found it ok, and I think it's great that you're starting your running before the New Year. Wishing you the best with it, and looking forward to hearing how you're getting on, in future posts.
My goals are limited for now. I have a painful toe and awaiting for a hospital appointment to see a speacialist and my GP told me that there is no gurantee of getting appointment. I visited a private feet clinic and I was advised to see a speacialist. For exercises I walk whenever I can. In the last 2 days I have walked about 5miles in total. I don't want to overdue it which could do me harm than good. I am sad as I love running and outdoors exercises.
That must be really hard! Walking is good, I hope you’ll find a way to cure your painful toe.. Sometimes it needs some time. Don’t be sad... walking 5 miles is a great outdoor exercise too! I hope it will all get better in 2020. I wish you all the best for the New Year!! 🍀🍀🍀🎉🎆😊
Sorry to hear about your painful toe, and I hope you get your hospital appointment soon with the specialist. Wishing you all the best for a good recovery.
What a beautiful wintery picture. Thank you for sharing and for posting...
4 runs is brilliant, very well done!
I just did 2 runs this week as was travelling to see family so running time was limited - but the family time was very precious...
As well as 2 x 5km runs I played badminton last night and had quite a vigorous work out which I needed to shift a few Christmas calories. Lots of chocolate over the hols - so time to get back on the wagon now! I'm hoping to continue with 3 runs per week in 2020 but this week giving myself full permission to be lazy and to rest (so if I manage any runs this week it will be a bonus!).
Wow, you did well to fit in 2 runs this week, along with visiting your family and Christmas festivities. Glad you enjoyed your family time.
The Badminton sounds great too - and now you're back on the wagon, I feel sure you'll get rid of any holiday excess and I am glad to hear you're taking it easy this week - and enjoying some restful time - you deserve it!
Love the photo. I'm fairly new to running. Just graduated. I'm consolidating the slow running now. Always running outside. Gym running is just not for me. I'm just enjoying the changes to my mind and body. All slow but that's good cos I can appreciate the changes more.
I'm going to love the experiences of running into a fresh new day. Seeing things missed by the sleeping.
Running outside is the best!! Slow running is fantastic ! I always run slowly and try some small speeds sometimes. I wish you a Very Happy New Year 2020!🍀🎉🎆😊
Congratulations on graduating, that is a great achievement, and it's great that you're consolidating the slow running now. You sound like you're really appreciating things, and that's lovely to hear.
You mentioned a fresh new day - and I hope we get lots of those to enjoy.
Hi everyone!! Just to let you know that today i have officialy graduated un the coach to 5k program !!! A nice 30 minutes run although with minus 1 degree and some Fog. Really glad i graduated the last day of the year !!! It was my personal short San silvestre run !!!
