w11d2 down. I don't know my distance because my health app screwed up and lost 10min of my running. but I think I was close to 6.5mi as I had 5.45mi actually tracked. or I had a slow day. I have no idea. Last run, it only tracked half of it. It might be time for me to download runkeeper.

I have found the "I can't do this" is taking longer to start. so that's good.

I think some of them join the long runners, but you can stay here and revisit c25k and offer support

@taeliesyn you have opened up my vocab, I could "mongrel" around the HM and it would be better than breaking myself on the FM. That is an option open to me but not one I had considered. Cheers for the nudge

I'm planning on sticking around here, and hope everyone else does as well

Finally worked up the courage to start the endo 10k improver plan. I think my hesitation stems from the fact that I'm a little leery of interval work. Despite my anxiety, I quite enjoyed last night's run. I have a real speed issue, in that despite how hard it ends up being on me I can't seem to slow down. The workout was supposed to be 11 intervals of 5:19 min/km with recovery intervals of 7:38 min/km. My "recovery pace" ended up averaging close to my normal pace (6:20 min/km) and a few of the fast runs were under 5 min/km. The timing of the fast bits had the unfortunate coincidence of matching up with a few of the stretches where there is a rise in elevation. Hellooooooo heart rate! Then of course, my monitor ran out of juice shortly after the toughest parts, leaving me without a good idea of how my poor ticker recovered for the remainder.

Ran 8.42 km in 53:39

Next workout (tonight, I guess) is another interval run, but not as long and the speedy bits all happen in the first half giving me the second half of the run to plug away happily at my own speed.

@fit4life_73 and @JSC145, I am tickled to see you both posting again!

Great work everyone else! It's getting busy with back-to-school just around the corner and four kids, so I don't have as much time to post or respond - but I am reading your updates!

I ran, I ran, I actually ran. Two weeks of sulking and biking but no running, but tonight I actually got out. The knee held up, slightly stiff but no pain. It might have healed. No target pace but fell at the slow end of Z2 and in the middle of Z1 (Matt Fitzgerald zones)

Hope you are all doing well. I am so H A P P Y

Great work everone!
@JSC145 for social chatter stay here, for encouraging others, here and C25K group. For serious discussion, the LDR group
@maggiekat7 Try and stick to your prescribed paces, the Endo plan will adjust itself if it needs too. If you run the wrong paces in intervals, you won't get as much out of them as you could.

Bugger about the blister @MeanderingMammal

More puppy running for me last night, 2.8k with a strava average pace of 7min/km pup is doing well. Now to decide how much more running I do this week, with the HM on Sunday. I've got 30k in the bank so far, will have another 10 minimum before the HM.... hrm 60k week sounds reasonable.

overslept. no run today

Didn't oversleep, but still didn't run. I signed up as a volunteer coach for Girls on the Run and our training session is tonight.

I've been seriously lacking motivation lately, but I made myself run last night. 2 miles in 19:38.

So I think that the walk in my work shoes probably didn't do my shins any good, as they were a bit sore today. After I got home from work I knocked out a quick 8.5K, nice easy pace of 5.5min/km.

Felt ok
