Lunch time 9k in 59mins Smile well pleased with that pace for me as it included 2km long slow gradient. Windy bitter cold but sunshine n blue sky was fab.

Freshprincess · 22/01/2019 20:57

Had to cut short my planned 10k this evening as it was getting pretty icy and slippy.

BitOutOfPractice · 22/01/2019 12:18

Still plodding away.

Hoping to get another 2 runs in this week

amysaurus87 · 21/01/2019 13:26

Thanks @mrbob it works out to about 4ish miles a day. It's pretty easy for me to do, as the only way my little boy naps is with a long walk in the pram! So I walk on average 5 miles a day!

TriSkiRun99 · 21/01/2019 12:22

Quick 5k run after school drop off but boy was it cold my thighs/glutes just never warmed up brrrr. Beaut morn though. Must get back in the pool swimming though! Went to a Pilates class instead for good stretch out.

Wow amy that is amazing!

amysaurus87 · 21/01/2019 02:28

32.61miles of walking done this week! Very happy with that especially as its been so so cold and I still have a million boxes to unpack after moving!

90.15/909.85 miles to go

I've worked out I need to do 18.5 miles a week to hit 1000 miles by 31 December... I think that is very doable!

Tailrunner · 20/01/2019 21:27

That should have said 46/1000 km running but it is true that I'm running them Grin.

Tailrunner · 20/01/2019 21:21

We had a busy start to the week and then my knee started niggling again so I haven't run since last Sunday. After a few days of stretches my knee felt better today so I went out for a slow 10km. Felt great and my knee is only aching a tiny bit - so far so good.

46/1000 I'm running

atomicnotsoblonde · 20/01/2019 20:45

Two lots of 7.2 this weekend, but my ankle is a bit twingy. Need a rest day.

42.8

thenewaveragebear1983 · 20/01/2019 17:59

10 km this afternoon

94/ 906

OhYouBadBadKitten · 20/01/2019 16:31

32km bike ride this afternoon on top of a v short 4k this morning to test things out. It was so lovely that I was disappointed it was over, but I'm trying to learn discipline and to stop before I get to the point I can't move.

cycling 74/930

Freshprincess · 20/01/2019 13:13

Struggled round 8 miles this morning to get to 20 miles for the week.
63 for the year, only 937 to go!

I've booked a half for next month so I need to start upping my long run distances. I let the distance slide towards the end of last year and I'm feeling it now.

Good running/walking next week everyone.

Tsotofamily · 19/01/2019 21:07

7.5 mile walk today

44.8/955.20

TriSkiRun99 · 19/01/2019 11:03

ParkRun sandwich this morning started with stiff legs and ended with them but got my fastest PR time this year and my fastest 10m run time 1hr 50mins super pleased with that Smile

80sMum · 18/01/2019 23:32

I've signed up for the walk1000miles challenge again this year. Last year I only managed 600 miles, but I am a bit more determined to succeed this year.
58 miles walked so far!

OhYouBadBadKitten · 18/01/2019 23:14

I've tried to take it easy aside from my HM training as my knees hurt. But running has been 17k, walking 34k, cycling 16k
Tomorrow I'm going to try and not move very much.
