Go Adrian - brilliant!!
Lousie - Run3 Walk 1 minute... *embarrassed smile*
I am following the beginner's plan on here...
Hiya,
Thanks for explaining, had all sorts of guesses in my head but they weren't the right ones
That sounds like a really sensible plan unlike mine!! Wish i'd found the beginners one on here first, i was following one that told me to run 10 mins on my first day have a day off then run 15. almost killed me lol
10 mins??
Jeez... there is no way I could do that... I still can't really believe I am actually running at all!
BS - That's the fun of running - you just keep surprising yourself
Louise - Can't believe you started out at 10 minutes! It took me weeks to work up to that
LM - I am just so glad you said that!! *laughing*
I am actually not so nervous of R3W1 but terrified of when it jumps the following week to R5W1.. Not sure that is possible!
Kate, i hope you do get better soon.
Running can be a funny thing & everybody does things differently. I am pleased to hear that your running plans are all working out for you all. I have never worked to any plan, i just get out there & run lol that seems to work for me but i don't knock the plans at all, they clearly work.
I always seem to come on here too late & miss you all. Must try & get on earlier i think
You didn't miss me! I've been off work today so have just been haunting the forums
Personally I like a plan. I've very much goal orientated and I do so much better if I have a mini goal to work towards each week as well as my big goals such as an eventual marathon.
I did say it almost killed me
and maybe stageered would be more accurate than ran....
Ran 3.1 miles today (was doing a practise 5k!). Did it in 33:17, so mostly happy with that. My best is 31:27 a couple of weeks ago but I've not managed to equal it since - most annoying.
Great run though - running in the rain is lovely. A sweet little old man called out some random encouragement was I went past. Made me smile
LM _ Awwwwwww *smile*
Or maybe he was trying to pick you up? *chortle*
LW - I know that feeling!
AS - Late one here too so never too late!
Can't run today. A very busy day at work, and then came home and the dog is really ill. An abcess in the only seeing eye means that he is blind and in pain and keeps walking into things...so need to stay and look after him..
Poor doggy...
Hugs!
Speak to all soon TTFN Nessie
LM, well done to you!! i haven't even gone outside in the rain let alone run
Would be interested in the half marathon plan. I've entered for the Run to the beat one in october... seemed like such a good idea at the time.
Cheers Nessie
have been lurking in the triathlon section.. think i seriously need my brain tested.. as if a half marathon isn't bad enough.
Plodderama, i don't have any other speed but slow so nice and easy is my only option lol!! although itsa always tempting to sprint off from my house
for about a whole 10 seconds
BS - I didn't like to suggest he was trying to pick me up! Though I was running in lycra today and I got a whole lot of attention from random men. Generally old men though
Hope the dog is okay. Must be hard looking after pets - if they can't speak to you, it must be hard to look after them.
Plod - Welcome back! I'm sitting here with my glass of wine too. I like to think us runners can do that kind of thing
LW - God, you're braver than me. The idea of a triathalon terrifies me!
I've just scoffed an indian takeaway. Feel like I should run again now
glass of wine - hmmm, now why didn't i think of that?
L
Hello there - thanks for all the get well wishes. Tablets don't seem to have helped the chesty thing yet but I live in hope!
Really jealous of all of you who have been out running - I want to be there too!
Hey Kate - hugs to you sweetie...
Just give it time.. Easy to say right??
late again lol
LM - are you on still tonight?
welcome back plod. I like to run every other day so might have a look at the training plan, can't do any harm now can it.
Hi All
Hope you dont mind me joining this thread?
Am also a breast cancer survivor and started back to my running after many years away.
Having a bad week, is there no end to blinky injuries? Right now i think im my physio's crimbo card list, i see that much of him lol.
TTFN eveyone hope to hear from u soon Nessie
Sorry Adrian - I was in bed early last night. Very unlike me!
Hi Strump - welcome to the thread
Hope the injuries are nothing too serious.
I'm currently considering a run. Technically I'm on a rest day but just feel like it today so maybe will just do a short one. Think I'm addicted!
Hiya
Just a bad case of shin splint, getting better all the time but has knocked my training back some what (well my running anyway).
Thanks for the welcome
Just been for a very short run. Really fancied getting outside, so just did a quick 1.5 miles. Did it in 14:13, so according to my Garmin I've finally broken the 10 min mile barrier! (Normally I'm between 10-11 min miles at the moment, depending how far I'm going). Want to do a longer run tomorrow, so kept it short today.
Timed it badly though - forgot it was kicking out time for the schools so ended up running past hundreds of teenagers! No comments from any of them, but for some reason I'm weirdly self conscious around teens
Strump - Shin splints sound painful. I'm scared of getting those. Hopefully you'll be back to running again very soon!
Hey Strump - Welcome to the thread!! And congratulations on getting through the breast cancer stuff...
LM - congratulations - I will rename you Little miss speedy I think!
Plodd - Tell us how it went .. I HATE hills!
Sitting here thinking I really must go out, but finding the energy hard...*yawn*
