Have I got this right? 5 runs. I can only assume you mentioned you had some planned as we’ve got 30 mins in for Tuesday and Wednesday. Apologies if I have messed this up. We can always tweak it as need be. Ideally 4 runs would be the max, but given the first 3 are short it will probably be ok. Happy New Year Sarah.

HogmanHoway 5k race in Newcastle city centre. Inaugural event and it was very enjoyable, would definitely do it again. Ran a little faster than intended, got off to a fast start with the crowd and the initial downhill. Managed to keep it very steady though, very pleased with my splits and my time. 33:14 so quite a solid sub 34 and Strava said I passed 5k in under 33 mins!
How good is that. I think we are seeing signs of improvement again now right? It shows how important consistency is with the training. So decent bonus points as well given the speed you ran at. Really well done Sarah.

New Years Day Parkrun. Felt surprisingly good considering I ran a 5k race last night. Ran this as a comfortable chatty run with a friend, really enjoyed it.
Turning into a good few weeks. So many events to be part of and makes you appreciate just how great the running community is. Even just being grateful for taking part in these events is important. The improved fitness is a bonus. Well done Sarah 💯

50 Mins & Strides

Didn’t make it out on tuesday as planned for this one so moved it to friday, legs felt a bit tired after race wed/parkrun thursday so I ended up turning it into a walk. Thought it was better than nothing and still time on feet.
Yeah a walk is always better than nothing. It’s good to keep moving.

parkrun

This was down as an effort but ended up being more of a steady run due to wintery conditions. When we arrived at parkrun the course was totally clear, by the time 9am rolled around and the RD was doing the briefing a blizzard started. I ran as much as I could, did walk up and down the steepest hill and a little around one of the lakes where it had gotten a little slippy. This was another new parkrun for us (we are trying to do all the north east ones and our alphabet) so it would be a lovely one to come back to in better conditions. As I did an unplanned effort at the NYE 5k race this steady parkrun should balance that out. Really enjoyed this one and even stopped to take a few photos.
Well done Sarah, and yes the switch around should balance the training nicely. Sometimes there will things out of control which effect the sessions and not much we can do about that other than make the most out of the situation which you did here.

Missed run, conditions outside are just too dodgy for running, still lots of snow which had turned to ice as it has been very very cold. Forecast is expected to warm up a bit by Thursday so I was wondering if I could extend next Sunday’s run a little bit.
It is very dodgy out there at the moment so no worries. I’ve added more onto next weeks run to make up for this one.
