A few things have got in my way since my 5 mile race the other week: busy with garden construction (raised beds) and generally fatigued from the race itself. I also fell off the back step on Monday: no alcohol involved, just multi-tasking in the dark and in bare feet, but tweaked my niggly knee and bruised my right ankle, so my run on Wednesday was sore. This morning the weather had settled and the sun was shining so I went for a long run, taking in one of my favourite routes along a beckside trail and through some woods. The bluebells are coming along and he wild garlic was smelly and in flower. I had hoped for 8k but it was a little over 7, but the last 2k was up a long and tough hill so was walk/run. I feel a bit like7k is a bit of a wall at the moment: Iβve been stuck around this distance for about a month (apart from the race which involved walking towards the end). Hoping that the hills today will help push the distance on a bit on the flat. Happy running everyone π
Longest run in two weeks: A few things have... - Bridge to 10K
Longest run in two weeks
Well done. I love the pics. Youβve motivated me. Iβm looking forward to my run later.
Looks lovely. 7km is a great distance, nothing wrong with that. If you want to go a bit further you know the drill... start off a bit slower πππ
I still stick to the formula of one shorter slighter quicker run, one easy 5k and then a longer run each week to build up distance. You like to explore new routes as well I see; definitely up for a challenge! I couldn't just wake up one morning and say "right I am running an 8k today" ...probably my ageπ
Iβm supposed to be following that pattern too and I did do a limpy 5k on Wednesday. Today was scheduled to be my longer run. Iβm just struggling to get beyond 7k on my longer run, and I have a 10k in 6 weeks...
Ooooh, looks so lovely. ππΌββοΈππΌ Seven k sounds good to me, after your past weekβs adventures. My gardening has had me on the IC for a week. So be glad. π
Beautiful route Molly, and absolutely nothing wrong with running 7k. Bet you didnβt think youβd be disappointed in βjustβ running 7k when you started running! πββοΈπββοΈ And you will make 10k. Thereβs no hurry, just slow everything right down ππ and it will happen. πππ
That looks a gorgeous route, and 7k is a brilliant achievement! I'd be glad with that.
7k is amazing Molly ! When you think about when you started C25K and how far you have come....Iβm sure you will get there ! Onwards and upwards to the next run πββοΈ
Lovely photos πAnd I'm glad to see that someone else does silly things in the dark too π
