Sarah's Target & 10K Mission

[Miss_Corset]

Thanks Lil - you're absolutely right. Am hopng to do 7k-ish on Sunday and will try going a little slower to see how I get on. Hopefully a change of scenery will be good too, although I think there are some hills in the park so not massively looking forward to tackling those! xxx

 

[OpalLilyEats]

Just use your arms to drive you forward!! Adding hills will make you a much better runner, I've only started doing it recently and wish I'd done it earlier! xx

 

[gingaling]

I hate hills too...but always find that taking lots of smaller pigeon-like steps is a better tactic than trying to stride at the normal rate! xxx

 

[OpalLilyEats]

If it's a really steep hill, sometimes I run zig-zag up it to help !!

I must look ridiculous but I swear it helps! lol

 

[Miss_Corset]

Both of these ideas sound hilarious! I will let you know how I get on!! xxx

 

[gingaling]

Basically just minimise the gradient 'step' your taking if that makes sense...as I swear i just run out of puff within seconds if I try and run normally! xx

Girlies, this is my dress for Saturday night - any ideas how to style it? I'm not sure if black is too harsh but worried nude might be a bit wishy-washy?

leopard print - would add warmth and contrast?

Despite the glitz, it's one main colour so adding in a print as long as the colours work would lift it I think! x

It's lovely! But I can't help because I'm rubbish my accessories are always based on practicalities!!!! Xxx

 

[LisaM1977]

I'm not brilliant with accessories either, wish I was...
I also wish I had your discipline, I am still abstaining from any running, 8 months now, I know it's not clever, but now I have it in my head I can't do it

I was convinced I couldn't run, Lisa, but I did 8k the other Sunday. You'd be surprised what you can do xxx

I totally believe that with running. And fasting. Mind over matter all the way x

I know I did enjoy it, completed the couch 2 k, I struggled a bit, speed wise, I don't have full movement in my left ankle which I broke, which I found niggled and that calf, shin got quite tight, but then I wonder if I had tried those foam rollers if it would have helped, plus I just could not get my breathing right outside, so most was done in the gym, which started boring me x

I find treadmill runs super boring. And it feels really unnatural to me to have a set pace. Have you googled ways to train your breathing? There must be something online to help you with it x
