Is this group still active?

Hey I am 2 days ahead of you so pretty close. I use the 5k Runmeter app like you say it is finally getting a bit easier.
I tend to plan my 3 runs at the start of the week based on weather forecast as then I know if I can have an extra day rest if needed without missing a run that week. Awful weather in the uk atm so not making things easy.

Oh yeah, bad weather. Ugh. I guess I will have to go to the gym if that gets in the way... though I have never run on a treadmill, yet.

Yer I’m hoping to always be able to work around it. Light rain no problem but the heavy rain and thunderstorms we are having aren’t great for running.

Speaking of rain, I have never run in the rain but I can't say I think it would bother me. (When I was much younger I was in a high school marching band and our band director took pleasure in making us march in the rain for hours during band camp...just to prove we wouldn't get hurt and the instruments wouldn't either, lol.)

But I do worry about lightning.

Yer rain isn’t too bad now I have the right clothes for it. Starting week 4 in the morning and I can’t wait!

@adampeart 3W2R done. It feels like this plan is moving too slowly... OTOH, I had a fun workout today and it did push my fitness limits. Plus I'm still injury free. :-)

Yer I hear you it is slow n steady but that changes week 5. Run this morning was so nice and managed to do 2.5 miles. Have added my view this morning.

I'll have to post a pic from my run tomorrow.

Don’t forget to get their name too 😉😂

I just back this weekend after a month of cycling. W6R2 in the 'starting 1st July' thread

As promised, I have attached a photo from this morning's run, W3R3.

When is your next run @durhammfp ?

This coming Friday. Thanks for asking. I will post a pic for that one too. I'll be on a long-planned trip to see an old friend so I'm not sure where I will run yet.

Are you running this week @TheMrWobbly?

W6 completed Tuesday. I am going to start W7 tomorrow and hopefully a parkrun Saturday dependent on the weather which looks grim currently.

Excellent! Congratulations on finishing week 6. I'm getting a little concerned that W5R3 is coming up soon for me. Maybe if I can make it over that hurdle, weeks 6-9 won't look so scary to me... W4R3 is my next run.

W4R3 done.

You run in some interesting places

Unfortunately this last place is very temporary. I'm just visiting an old friend in California for a few days. Wednesday I'll be back home.

How is progress @durhammfp ?
