I always have a coffee beforehand! Argh! I’ve just had one and I’m going soon
I can’t actually function in the morning without coffee to the point I have an automatic coffee maker so it’s ready the second I get upI always have a coffee beforehand! Argh! I’ve just had one and I’m going soon
Just joining this thread as I didn't realise it existed and was pleased to see it here! Hey guys!How do people run in the cold? I’m merely a beginner so I’m not used to it and haven’t adapted yet
I take a light zip up hoodie out with me, then I can easily take it off and tie round waist if I get too warm. It's only cold for the first few mins, the hardest part is getting yourself out when you know it's cold!How do people run in the cold?

Hahaha I can confirm it does I would not recommend it though!That might be the secret to increasing pace!
WelcomeJust joining this thread as I didn't realise it existed and was pleased to see it here! Hey guys!
If it is super cold I wear a long sleeve running jacket over a long sleeve top, leggings to the ankles, and then gloves. I'm lucky with having thick hair so I don't tend to wear a hat, and then my headphones act as a type of ear muff However, I always run for the second mile, because you warm up so quickly and the worst thing is overheating and having to faff about getting undressed on your run.
I run in a big jacket, I'm always cold but it's not too bad now and it was lovely on the weekend.How do people run in the cold? I’m merely a beginner so I’m not used to it and haven’t adapted yet
A fantastic time, let alone for your first 10K.I run in a big jacket, I'm always cold but it's not too bad now and it was lovely on the weekend.
I finally run my first 10k last week and managed in under 59 minutes so we'll happy with that!!
Congrats!!!!!! Well doneBeen gradually upping the speed and distance over the last month or so... abs my “easy” 5k this evening ended up with a PB for 1/2 mile, 1km, 1 mile, 2 mile and 5k.
Perhaps I need to push myself a bit more!
seriously though, incredibly proud of that, it’s been a very very long while since I’ve been that fast!
5k in 29 mins and didn’t tit my kecks.. I’ll take thatI can’t actually function in the morning without coffee to the point I have an automatic coffee maker so it’s ready the second I get up
Have a good run Blair
Go for it. If you’re at 15k then you can get to a half marathon in a few weeks, absolutely!Just over 15k in 1:30 today!!!!! to think a few months ago I couldn’t run more than 3 minutes without feeling like I needed to stop. I’m very tempted to work towards a half marathon now, who would’ve thought it!
Yes I’ve just finished it - loved it!!Has anyone done the yellow 10k runner app? I was initially doing c25k and did around 2 weeks but switched to 10k runner with the idea of wanting a long programme/long term goal. Currently on week 4 day 3 - love that you can give feedback at the end of the run and skip runs if the previous one has been 'easy'.
I was really into fitness prior to lockdown one, doing HIIT/strength training. I have only run 5km on one occasion when everyone was tagging people to run 5km for the NHS during lockdown one and was really pleased to get it done in 26minutes because I honestly didn't think I'd manage.
My biggest problem is that I get extremely 'in to' things and then want to do it every day so finding the 'rest' days really hard.
Well done!! Did you manage to run the full 10k at the end of it? Did you have much running experience prior?Yes I’ve just finished it - loved it!!
