snipthanks Poet for the recommendations! Yeah I was thinking something like soccer being something I'd like to try but I'm not sure how to go about it haha
snipthanks Erutepa :) yeah I've heard stuff about people doing interval training and how it really helps them
Well done!
update:
I've run every day since my last post - usually 4.5-6km but today I decided to push and ran 8.4km in 56mins
Last Saturday I also walked 5km up Black Mountain in addition to a run
I'll be doing an intensive winter course next week running for 6 days over 2 weeks 9-5, so I'll have to wake up early to get the runs in :P
Well done!thank you!
Those early mornings will be cold. So good luck. You'll mostly warm up once you get into it, but those fingers might sting. Do you have gloves?
29/6: jogged 10k in just over an hour
thank you!
yep I do have gloves, I've already run with them on in the mornings but end up taking them off halfway through :P
Wow Strawberry, you are so motivating!! It's inspiring me!thanks owl ;)
Go go go!! ;)
Your times are so motivating to me!!thanks EF :)
I know someone else already recommended this but HIIT is so good, especially if it's a really hilly area.
I'm always talking about how killerrrr HIIT is, but when it's done, it feel so good!
Also, I'm so curious, do you ever get a runner's high when you finish?I haven't really, but I haven't really run much more than an hour so :P
I feel like you have to run for several hours to achieve one (I never have time for anything longer than 1.5 hours! :( )
And I'd really like to know what gloves you use!I don't really know where she got the gloves from but my mum got me a pair of 'touchscreen' gloves where you can still use the thumbs and pointer fingers on your phone. I don't really need to use my phone while running (it's there just in case + to track my runs) tho but I find those gloves SO convenient!
I like to hold my phone when I'm running (I wear 2XU leggings and they don't have any 'real' pockets) but when it's really cold in the morning, my fingers start to go numb and I get slightly terrified of frostbite!
Do you have like fingerless gloves (cos then you can still use the screen!) or like those fingerprint gloves or what?
I have no idea what to get!
SMASHING it. 💪💪💪thankyou. I hope to see you doing it again soon ;)
today: 11km which is the longest I've done (so far)🎉🎉🎉
I'm gonna try and keep running every day and my goal is to do a half marathon (21.1km) by the end of this month.Have you considered running IB? (This is a bit of a meme in Fenner, but also somewhat serious question haha)
Idk if that's too ambitious lol? (If so, I might just aim for a 15-18k instead)
thankyou. I hope to see you doing it again soon ;)
🎉🎉🎉I don't really feel much different from longer distances as I run at a pretty slow, steady, low-intensity pace so I don't really get tired. The only thing is that it obvs takes longer and I feel better cos I ran more lol
How different is it to running shorter distances? Like, do you just gradually get more tired or do you just hit a point where it hurts? (I ask as someone who barely knows what running is lol)
