    HBS - you could have prepared me! LOL! I tell you how much I like a character and then THAT mission happens!

    I'm sorry, I knew it was coming :( didn't want to spoiler it for you!

    I think that was my first sit-and-cry mission...note I say first...

    Oh Lordy! I'll bear that in mind. Do you just shorten the missions and then tell it to run them one after the other? Think I am fully recovered now, so distance is increasing again- thinking I might turn the chases back on again to the lowest speed increase!

    I haven't been running since tuesday, i have been too achy like an old man. Plus i have had relatively physical days at work.

    Think i will have another go sunday night and see whether i am recovered haha.

    I shortened them but didn't run them together, if I do two together I just have a quick break in between - usually I do one on treadmill and one while weightlifting :)

    Hope your run went OK, WannaB!

    I did the RNIB Glow Run on Friday and it was great fun, too loud to ZR though :(

    It's AMAZING what the right shoes can do.

    Got a gait analysis then bought a low-cost pair of shoes with good arch support to test out.

    Went from 3km in 32 minutes on treadmill to 3.6km in 32 minutes on treadmill. BOOM. And that's with a near-cry followed by a skip of joy!

    Looking to push that down to 30 mins...then it's my next 5k run soon (Patronus Run with the Hogwarts Running Club).

    Hope all you Runner Fives are pressing on...stay safe out there!

    I was having a great run the other night, i have found a different route - slightly longer- which doesn't seem to be so commuter heavy.


    I had a clear path ahead when I heard "Zombies detected"


    Absolutley turned on the turbo gas to escape.... then... TRAFFIC LIGHTS! Argh! Had to drop something!


    I'm still on season ep 7, starting to really get into the story now

    Fantastic! a 30 minute 5k is a very distant goal for me! I am still at around 36 minutes! Ah well - its still better than sitting on the sofa.
    I am still on Season 1 as well LondonGirl. Nearly finished, then going to try their inbuilt 5k races before moving onto Season 2.

    Have also just downloaded the SuperHero workout - jeez - I am so unfit - I cant even do a proper press-up. Have to do it on my knees and even that is hard for me. And Burpees - forget it! I managed 2 before collapsing!

    It advises you do all the races before S2 - I would agree as the story is amazing!

    I "banked" the right amount of km over a few days then just set it on Constant Speed and listened :)

    I also have the Superhero Workout to try at some point - I might be a bit better at that as I used to powerlift so my strength is better than my cardio :)
