WOOOOO!!

Last week I was so down about the dodgy reading from my app, I really couldn’t be bothered to go back out so I thought id take a few days off and give it my all on my return!

Ive changed the running app I used and started a new one today, the same as my friend uses as my old one has became very glitchy since its last update!

we both started our apps at the same time and set off at the same time so the readings would be accurate if not a second or two apart, and off we went!

From the very beginning of our run I could tell our pace was a lot quicker than it had been previously, but at the same time it was a comfortable pace, quite enjoyable!
Spurred on by discussing how our boyfriends had gone the extra mile in annoying us this week it took our mind off the run so I was quite surprised when the app spoke up and said 1.5 mile ….

in

….13 minutes 26 seconds!!!

wooooooo !!!!

wth an average pace of 8 minutes and 59 seconds!

fair to say i was totally over the moon!!

Both apps gave the same reading so we knew for sure the times were accurate!
Just need to keep this up, aiming for a 12 minute overall time so Ive got an extra 2 minutes spare for on the day …. just in case! 😉

DAY 3! :D

Ive been trying my hardest to get home since around half 7!
Couldn’t wait to get home and upload todays picture! Sad eyy!

So a few days ago my friend messaged me and said she’d come out running with me, she applied for the army a few years ago but unfortunately due to medical reasons she cant get in.

I usually go running on my own or with a horse trailing behind somewhere with my mother! So someone who can keep up, set a pace and push me on knowing the targets I need to hit seemed a fab idea!

The past few times ive been out running ive stopped 2-3 times throughout, even though I know at the time I could probably have pushed on a little but further if I put my all into it – total mind over matter!
Tasha was determined we wouldn’t stop at any point, giving me tips she used when she was doing her running, I actually found that having another person there running along side me helped a great deal, felt more spurred on to keep going!

Straight away I noticed the app I used which gives audio progress reports recalled a much quicker average time, hearing it made me even more determined to push on!

For my Army selection I need a running time of a maximum of 14 minutes for my 1.5 mile, for the role I want to do they push for a quicker time so I’m aiming for around 12-13 minutes, although id settle now for a guaranteed 14 minute every time I go out!

….. Heres todays running time…. !!!!! 😀

My quickest EVER time! – 1.52 mile in 12 minutes 55 seconds – enough to pass my selection weekend!
I’m so chuffed with my self, more so than when I graduated!
