I've been tackling my running more head on recently and keeping up with my training plan, exceeding some or my goals! I've completed 2 5k runs and completed my first 6k run, which is a big achievement from where I started! I am planning to over the summer increase my longer runs to build on my pace and I'm really looking forward to the rest of my journey : )Back to it!
First full week back into running after holiday!I managed a 3k, my second run I only managed 2k, my legs just wouldnt carry me!
And then today, Sunday 15/06/25 I completed my first 5k! To say I am proud of an understatement. I'm going to continue my short morning runs during the week, but will be doing a longer 5k run at the weekends to increase my pace and get comfortable with the longer distance, once I have completed my 5k in September I will be looking to increase my distance more in preparation for the 10k in Feb. :-)
Tough month
It's been an on and off month this month, I've been struck down with a nasal infection, and once recovered from that a water infection, I feel fit and ready again now, so am back to it this week, we go on holiday Friday and am planning to get in the hotel gym and out for a couple of early runs, and once we are home I will be fully back on running, my pace is improving so will now be looking at adding some extra distance into my running! I have been signed up for a 5k in September so will be focusing on being ready for that and will then continue to build up ready for the 10k.Back to it
After having to have a week off due to a bad ankle, I am now back to running, taking it slower and steadier, and not going to over do anything to soon.I'm enjoying being back to running and finding each run a little easier every time I do one, also continue to do my bike exercises and workouts in-between my runs, to build up my muscle strength.
First 4k
Ran my first 4k run today, and felt really good about it, training is continuing to go in the direction I was hoping for and am planning to hit 5k by the end of this week, I would then like to focus on my running pace rather then distance for a while, to improve my timing on 5k, and will then look to add more distance onto my running. ✌🏻😎Week 2
So this week I've completed 2 2k runs and 2 20 minute cross training workouts......and completed my first 3k Saturday morning, pace wasn't my best for the 3k run, my son wanted to run with me and struggled a little 🤣 but I found it a little easier then expected.Onto week 3 💪🏻
Week one
Week one I achieved 2 runs, 1 home workout and an hours swim.Week 2 has begun and started with an early run this morning.
First run
I've started my training this week, and have completed my first two runs! I havnt found it easy, but I'm hoping the process will get easier the more I train. This will be a gradual training plan, done over many weeks, until I find my comfortable running pace 👍🏻My goal
So from next week I will be starting my training!I have decided to challenge myself to this run, to celebrate myself being cancer free for 10 years next year.
At age 24 I was diagnosed with cervical cancer, whilst heavily pregnant with my son. After undergoing a very swift, C-section and hysterectomy, I was given the all clear. It has been a rocky road when coming to terms with desires to have a bigger family, and get my head around how it all happened so quickly. But I am so greatful for everything I have in life and find myself in a much better, healthier and happy life.
Aswel as celebrating my own personal reasons, I would also love to give something back, in the hopes it will help others who face their own battles.
I will keep this page posted with training updates. Thankyou everyone
