Happy Spring!

Off day for me, but I did 30 Day Shred. Good luck to all of today's runners!

    Day off for me today, tomorrow I go for W8d1 - woo hoo! Am still horribly slow, running at 7.5 km/h, when I tried at 8km/h (which I had done on the shorter runs) I ended up with my first (and hopefully only) failed run of 15 minutes on a 20 min run. Will have to go for time over distance for now.

    Day off for me as well. Pilates and a gym session instead.

    Hope those who ran today had a great one!

    Woop Woop!!!!!! Did my week 6, day 3 this evening (Friday evening in Aus) which is the 15 R, 3 W, 5 R and then cool down etc.
    I did the self-talk that I was going to do this, no matter what. Normally my self-talk is the opposite (that it is going to be so hard and I don't know how I am going to do it etc etc.) but I just tried to shift my thinking to a more positive frame.

    For some reason my app doesn't have the 20 min R until Week 7, day 1 (my next run) so I haven't had the experience of doing a longer run yet. So, the 20 min will up from the 15min. I think I will do the 15 run a couple of times before I move up. Does anyone else do that?

    Curly I am also at 7.5, even 7.4 kph and just keep thinking that I will work on speed later. I have had some times in the gym where I have set the goal as 5km distance, and have not finished until 45 minutes (lot of walking after the app has long finished!) Unfortunately, I am back in the gym on the treadmill, not outside running. I wish I could do the outside, and my friends say it is easier because of more distractions, but goodness knows why I find I lose my mental strength and seem to pull up too soon.

    Great to have this group -- I didn't want to post that I couldn't complete and that helped get me there.
    Week 6 took me ten days to two weeks to do, but I am not so worried about that now. I just don't want to stop, even if I repeat.
