2020-21 Beginners – Week 29

Congratulations everyone on your run milestone this week!  Sorry about the lack of margaritas.  We will need to have a do-over once we are allowed to gather.  But it was so so wonderful to see you guys TOGETHER!  Wow I can’t wait for us to truly be able to run in groups again.  2 more weeks!

Thanks for submitting your photos for the WRW Global Run for International Women’s Day/Paula’s Birthday.  I took the liberty of adding a couple from the Canary run for a few of you whose photo I didn’t already have.  Here is a link to the slideshow if you’d like to see how strong this community of amazing women is and how even once you leave, you are still a huge part of it.  It was a labour of love to put it together.  If any of you who I didn’t get want to send me a photo, I will happily add it in!

This week is a rest week.  Those with eagle eyes might notice that I’ve changed it a bit to be 6 miles, not 60 minutes.  That is still a rest – you guys have been doing a lot more on Thursdays.  We want to cut back but also want to keep you strong.  So do your 60 minute run on Tuesday, 6 miles on Thursday, and 45 min over the weekend.

If you have not yet run 9 miles, use this week to continue to build if you can.  I, or any other coach, am happy to talk to you about what you should be doing – just reach out!

The Schedule
Week 29 Mar 18 – 6 miles
Week 30 Mar 25 – Wembley – 9 miles
Week 31 April 1 –  Canada Water – 10 miles
Week 32 Apr 8 – April  break – 6 miles
Week 31 Apr 15 – Kew Gardens – 11 miles
Week 32 Apr 22 – TBD
Week 33 Apr 29 – RACE DAY!
Continue to do 45 min on the weekend and 60 min on Tuesdays!

For this week – how about a run to Borough Market?  A nice slight downhill to the river and then flat flat flat with coffee and other treats at the end!  https://routes.rungoapp.com/route/6U5vDjwEEA
If you want to loop back to SJW and avoid public transport, you could do a classic Hyde Park loop along the Italian Gardens.  https://routes.rungoapp.com/route/ybk4zOsBh9
If you want to try something new, there are many routes on RunGo in the 3 WRW groups:  WRW London, the Hustlers, or the WRW Beginners,
We could try to do some small groups again – let’s talk on the group chat to see what will work for everyone.
See you this week!
