So after the Bovington HM in early December I was just doing a bit of maintenance until Christmas. Ten miler on Christas day, then on a short 4 mile recovery run on Boxing Day I managed to stumble in the woods and sprain my ankle quite badly. That was frustrating but it led to a bit of downtime, and being worn down led to me picking up a nasty infection that led to being in hospital.
Last night was my first run out again after that, a fairly gentle 6KM along the Thames in London.
Pitifully slow, as it took me 38 minutes. That's the slowest I've been in a couple of years, but it felt ok and I managed to maintain a decent form throughout. Very out of condition after nearly two months of limited training.
My March Marathon is probably off the table, and even the 20 miler is potentially a bit beyond me. My next event after that is a multi-race weekend in May; 12 hour ultra, followed by a night 10K and a morning 10K, with an HM after that. I'm already in the 12 hour and aiming for 50K, will then consider which of the other races to do. The night 10K is a lot of fun, and I think it'll be good to add the morning 10K. The HM is probably beyond me at the moment, having done it twice before it's a brutally tough event.
Assuming I make a credible recovery that'll be a good rehearsal for the rest of the year.2 -
Finished 5k210k week 1 day 1 today. Felt pretty good, but definitely a big jump from c25k. I was appreciating the minute walk interludes.2

1.38 miles yesterday in 16 minutes. Felt like a slug. I think it was the heat- almost 80F here yesterday.

Wow. It's been getting up to the 60s here, but the 80s would be cooking Possible chance of snow Friday and Saturday. That's the Wisconsin I know and love. Fake spring was nice while it lasted.1 -

We are expecting a hard freeze this weekend. No wonder everyone is sick!1 -

@Piqueaboo and @upsaluki --- welcome and glad to see you over here. I'm still less than a year into running, so not as experienced as many of the others on this forum.
I am about halfway into my half marathon training and just ran a 5K race yesterday. Was a tough course and I didn't get a PR, but it felt really good to be back out and racing again. I am also planning a 10K on April 1st and my half marathon on April 22nd. So far, so good.3 -
I ran (ish)
at my national park on Saturday. 6 miles in 1:12:39 including some walking, but not including the 3 times I stopped to stretch my calves. (Paused the app for that!)
Sore legs yesterday, so I went back to the park and walked a couple of miles, with some short runs dispersed. Legs feel better today!
I've signed up for a 10k this Saturday. 4 -

You seem like you're really pushing it with that 10k. You're tough though, you should be ok.1 -

Peer pressure is a terrible thing! 2 -
Day 3 of Week 9 finished! Thursday I attempt the 3x 15 minutes, based on how today's run went it'll be tough. That being said, I today ran in 20 minutes what I previously did in 30. It's bizarre, I can't quite wrap my head around it yet. When did I become a runner? Fantastic, really.3

I finished 5k210k week 2 day 1 today. It was 4 12 minute intervals and I was feeling it, but liking it too. Supposed to snow tomorrow. Hopefully the roads will be good by Thursday3
-
Ran at the national park yesterday- 5k in 36:27, no walking breaks. I feel pretty good about that. The National Park course has a pretty good climb to the top of a hill. The course for my 10k on Saturday is flat.3

Finished 5k210k w2d2 today. Good run. I'm still slow, but feels great to get running.4
-
I did Week 10 Day 1 - tough cookie!! It went from 4x 10 minutes to 3x 15 minutes. Pushed through but boy, I was slow!3
-
Week 1, D1 of the 5K to 10K app complete. It is cold and snowing here right now. This time last week it was 70. Mother Nature is a little unbalanced.3

Ran my 10k this morning. I did much better than I thought I would, finished in 1:09:07.3

@Just_Ceci -- Great job!! Congrats on a nice finish!1

Ahaha I really didn't want to, but I did it!! W10 D2 complete 4

Today was a 7 mile run for my HM training and I crushed my previous personal best for a 10k... New time is 53:01 and previous was 57:16. Feeling really good about the progress I'm making.4

Just finished w3d1 of 5k210k. Whew! Windy and damp here, but a good run.3 -
W1,D2 of Active's 5Kto10K program complete. It seems quite different from their Couch to 5K but so far it is keeping things interesting.2

I like the structure of being on a program.1 -

I do as well. It keeps me motivated to go out and run. Otherwise I might drop back and let myself out of going.
