Running plan is like antibiotics regimen.
If you skip one, just pick up where you left.

6.5 mile-run/walk outdoors. Apart from runners, you see dog walkers this early, although it’s not too early.
Pace: 12’39”
It’s nice to be done by 9:30am.

Skipped 3 miles.
Hope pulling extra work hours and cooking counts as XT or something.

3 miles indoors
33 minutes

I enjoyed meeting the group - their company made the run easy. I did not have to listen to music even - just nice chat with nice runners.

Thank you! I’m trying.

Goal achieved today: did not wipe out on icy trail!

5m
57minutes

Feeling fine
Thinking how to eat to run better.
And oh, wine reward earned for later!

Thanks so much for sharing. Indeed, it is non-aggressive but still progresses nicely nonetheless.
Great to know it works.

Slow is fine for now.

Thanks so much!
It’s gonna be my Saturdays reward. I was gonna have that reward anyway even if the science says no but the science is oky with it as long as you do it smartly/hydrated.

I found this plan quickly and am on it from today. I will modify it based on what the program folks tell me - first meetup this Saturday.

Looks doable.

When life knocks you down.... hmmm what smart thing should I say - I don’t know - running helps - that’s all.
That knock-out can be anything - can be that something inside of you died. Or mourning a huge loss or losses or all of the above at once within a short period of time. Just go running. This cold weather is great actually.

Oh - also music helps...

I am so excited for Saturday.

you can most definitely still have wine each week
