Beginner Running Group 26 October 2011

Hello runners,

Attached are a couple of photos from last week’s run – one at Big Ben and one while we were running.  I don’t know what you think, but Elizabeth looks way too happy in that running photo.  Do you think we should make her start carrying my backpack????  Everyone ran extremely well – that was a tough jump up in terms of running minutes last week.  This week shouldn’t feel like such a stretch – I mean it’s always tough, I know, but it should feel ever so slightly boring after last week’s triumph.  Be assured it’s part of the plan….  I’ll explain AFTER we run tomorrow.  Next week we start going places again – so bring your Oyster card.
Tomorrow we will be doing a loop back to Starbucks because many of you have children home from school and/or conferences at ASL.  We will meet at the regular time, 8:15am and should be back to SJW around 9:20-9:30 depending on how many traffic lights we hit.  For those of you not able to join us, we’re doing 6,7,7,7,7,6 minute intervals separated by 2 minute walking breaks.
I’ll send out a bit more information this weekend about our training for the next few weeks and some nutrition tips you could consider to help you fuel these longer runs.
Well done everyone!
See you tomorrow,
Paula
