Is anyone starting July 1st?

After a week of slower walking and cycling I went for a 5.2k power walk this morning. Unfortunately the niggle is still there though I found a stride pattern that didn't seem to aggravate it as much so still managed it 41:24. I will keep to the gentler stuff for a few more days.2

Take care - I know how irritating it is to be benched with injury but better to wait it out so you can come back strong. I'd recommend repeating the previous week when you restart - or even starting again from the beginning if you can bear it.2 -
W8D1 bites the dust! 🏃🏽♀️😁3

@saresimsr36 you may want to consider sharing your progress here. Lots of encouraging people2

W6D2, the 10 min is getting easier! I didnt have to stop.4

I did not run this morning. The relative humidity was 84% and it was already almost 80 at 6 AM. The heat is supposed to break tonight. I will aim for tomorrow morning.5

@VanVanDiane love the new pic!
Did W5D1 on the treadmill last night as it was too hot out.... I survived but holy did I sweat!
Have a great Thursday!4 -
Thanks @showjumper - I'm trying to embrace my curls rather than ironing it straight all the time. W8D2 done - can't believe there's only one more run before we're supposed to do a full 5K - feels like a big jump from 30 to 40 minutes running- guess I need to slow down for it2
-
W6D3, well today didnt go so well but ill keep trying this weekend.4
-
W5D1 done....... it was super windy.... will try again this weekend and see if I can do a bit better. My coworker and I were discussing our strategy for next week and I forgot to look when I started the app for todays run and we were on the wrong day
mild panic set in! lol but we reset and kept going! Not a fan of the wind. 2 -
Keep at it, not everyday can go to plan, we only fail when we stop trying2

Keep at it! No harm in repeating days, or even weeks if it works for you2 -
W8D3 done - 30m running. I'm very slow, and it still feels bloody hard! Will attempt the 40m 5K on Monday - just have to see how far I can get before collapsing in the allotted time 🙂4
-
I decided to redo week 6 so W6D1, didn't do too bad today.2
-
Nice work guys1
-
W5D2 finished!! Thank goodness for my co-worker or I would have kept working through... we kept a good pace and have stayed with the same path... Is it just me or do all the runs seem to cover the same amount of ground in these middle weeks? We are gearing up for the dreaded W5D3 on Wednesday!
Happy Monday...... have a super last week of August!2 -
Well done @showjumper. Running with someone else can make all the difference. It is a lot harder letting someone else down that yourself

We did it! Too hot to run yesterday, but did it after work this evening - took 44m so not very fast but still very pleased 😁5
-
Doing awesome everyone!3
-
W6D2, doing ok.3
-
W5D3...... the dreaded 20 min straight. Completed it with one break as the wind was vicious into our faces and it was hard to breathe.... so walked until the direction changed to our path and continued. Will repeat it on Friday.
the downhill slide has started to the long weekend (here in Canada......) signifying the end of summer!
Happy Wednesday.......

Hi all, sorry I've been MIA for awhile, life got in the way.
But I decided to just pick up where I left off 2/3 weeks ago and did W8R1. Managed to finish it and it went ok
My teenage son, who is my running partner, is really keen to improve our speed and thinks we are very slow
. Including the warm up/cool down , we covered 4.89K. Please tell me that's average, so I can tell him we're doing ok.
Good luck everyone, keep it up

@Perla4686 "That's about average". I have no idea though you can now say you were told that's about average 0

nice profile pic! @TheMrWobbly0

W6D3, did much better today.2

Missed a week's running log and trying to catch up so I'll be brief:
August 19-25: Week 4
Both Monday and Wednesday's runs were cadence drills once again, although they're really zeroing in to tight pace allowances of around 10 per second; I can fairly easily get a hold of maintaining pace as a result now which seems to have helped improved my general running form greatly.
Friday's long run was Run Walk Run again but this time for a mile; I found it a little tiresome particularly alternating between the two every 30 seconds and trying to compensate during the running sections but I can definitely feel my cardiovascular health improving. Next week is my first non-stop run, also for 1 mile.5 -
W7D1, my legs are killing me! Didn't do awful as i thought i would , stopped a few times.3
