I’ve also signed up for my first trail run in 2 weeks time, unsure whether to do the 11km or 17km, I don’t mind walking alot for it so might go 17km and just enjoy the day out

I’m doing a 9.5mile (15km) one
@Gorden you know how I feel about brooks 
BUT I had a few people recommend them and said their trail shoes are better than their road shoes. We shall see!

I have owned this pair of shoes for over a year, and they are great!
The shoelaces are a little bit tricky, but you won’t have any problems anymore with stepping on sharp or big pebbles because of the protective sole.

I started a running program called “run your butt off”.
It is a good fit for me as it started with just walking and adding walk/jog intervals, so as to walk 4min and jog 1min in the beginning.
It also suits the topography around here with basically no flats, always up or down hill. I can’t start with 30min running hills. But as I am used to walking hills I can add one minute of jogging the same hills with 4 minutes walks in between.
Now I am on week 3 with 2min jogging / 4min walking intervals and I am enjoying it a lot. Especially as I somehow managed to convince myself to do it in the morning after my morning stretches and I feel like I have accomplished something good before breakfast.
So today I jogged altogether for 10minutes and walked in between on our beautiful hills through the gardens and woods

I’ve just signed up for the Knutsford 10k (first one in 20 yrs). Have you done it?
Great job and getting out there and even attempting 100km! Halfway is still so far. I hope your feet and the body soreness start feeling better soon!! Sleep, hydrate and relax!!

It is still an amazing achievement! 
The terrain looks challenging and interesting at the same time. I would gladly take part if I had the endurance.

I had a nice run yesterday morning. My legs are a little bit sore because of the inclines. But it is worth it.

Mile 1- I don’t really want to do this,
so not in the mood
Mile 2- well now I gotta at least get home
Mile 3- this isn’t too bad anymore
Mile 4- snackie and water break, I can keep going
Mile 5- feeling strong
Mile 6- I’m over this
This was a roller coaster. I think I’m going to take this coming week off running. My legs are tired and sore. My calves, hamstrings, quads. They all had shit to say during this run

Normally I’m roaring to go for a run. I know I gotta get through the struggle runs though. They are good for the mental mindset.

My first run after injury. All fine, no pain at all and I hope it will stay this way. I am so so so happy 
Took it very easy so I’m very surprised about the tempo.
I missed running so much

Starting a half marathon plan 
I still have a few runs left on the 10k plan I started but I’ll just run them both over the next week. Like start each plan for the same run. I feel good with the 10k distance but I don’t want to not finish the plan if that makes sense. Today was a benchmark run for garmin. Only 9 minutes long lol

Is this in preparation for the trail run? That is a half, right?
