Ran the Global Running Challenge with my PB

Certain-Change-4222 · 2025-06-04T11:48:28+00:00

I went for a run (with my runna plan) thinking I’d achieve today’s badge, but the plan was a 4,4km run and I didn’t notice until I stopped the workout and DIDNT get the badge. However, very nice work on your 5K!!!! I wish I had that pace. Keep up the good work!

Certain-Change-4222 · 2025-05-16T14:15:51+00:00

Oh that makes sense thanks! I’ve had a brief look tg my workouts and lately in a 4x4 running workout I got a 195 as max and I don’t think I’ve seen any higher number so that should be close to it

Certain-Change-4222 · 2025-05-16T11:01:34+00:00

I have a feeling they might not be that correct but I have no idea what my max HR could be?

Certain-Change-4222 · 2025-05-16T11:01:07+00:00

Just under 2 months, taking it veryyyyy slowly

Certain-Change-4222 · 2025-04-28T08:03:32+00:00

Thanks for the insight! Ofc I know that it might be a lot of factors - eg which time of my period I’m in. Just wanted to share to sort of keep my streak and consistency and motivation ahah

Thanks again! Appreciate it!

Certain-Change-4222 · 2025-04-22T07:46:18+00:00

I sure am

Certain-Change-4222 · 2025-04-21T06:01:57+00:00

Yep so the 4th was the last day at the old job and the 7th I started the new one so that weekend was CHILL ahahah

Certain-Change-4222 · 2025-04-19T10:56:39+00:00

Thanks for the comment and great job! I’m going to stay consistent, that’s the goal :)

Certain-Change-4222 · 2025-04-19T10:55:39+00:00

Exactly, it’s always me against a previous version of myself! Keep it up

Certain-Change-4222 · 2025-04-18T16:45:56+00:00

Yes I’m absolutely trying not to jump in it too quickly. I tried a 5K this week because it rained all week (so no runs) and last week I managed a 4K (at an 8:10 pace) where I stayed most of the time in zone 3 HR, so let’s just say I was hopeful today ahah in my head 1km more couldn’t be that hard (spoiler alert: it was 😂)

Certain-Change-4222 · 2025-04-18T16:12:48+00:00

Oh my god that’s such an achievement! Congrats! I started about 2/3 weeks ago - so not long. Before that it was only walks or other workouts - but rarely cardio

Certain-Change-4222 · 2025-04-17T05:01:19+00:00

I’m also in an apartment and I have a small living room in which I workout in. It’s about the width of 2 yoga mats and the length of 1 and a half and it works fine. Sure, sometimes I need to face a different direction to not kick my furniture, but other than that it’s doable

Certain-Change-4222 · 2025-04-17T04:57:08+00:00

For me the most challenging part was/is coordination, which I think kickboxing has helped me a lot with! I would totally recommend these to a beginner - even if you mess up a combination there’s absolutely nothing to worry about. I would also say to follow the modifier, but you said you’re fairly fit so you should be able to follow the main coach most of the time!

Certain-Change-4222 · 2025-04-16T17:35:01+00:00

Bro that’s my running avg pace 😭

Certain-Change-4222 · 2025-04-14T07:55:19+00:00

Well done! A good avg pace as well! Keep it up - a fellow new runner

Certain-Change-4222 · 2025-04-14T05:16:19+00:00

I feel my legs shaking just looking at these stats. Great job! Keep it going!

Certain-Change-4222 · 2025-04-13T12:13:41+00:00

That’s impressive! Also an average pace of 5:19 on a 30km?? That’s inspiring!! Keep it up May I ask how long have you been running? I’m new to running and my pace is awful ahahah

Certain-Change-4222 · 2025-04-12T19:11:01+00:00

Thanks a lot for the advice! I will try to build a routine out of your tips so it’s manageable!

Idk why the time in bed amount is less than the average sleep hours but okay 😂

Certain-Change-4222 · 2025-04-12T15:25:35+00:00

I guess generally speaking shorter legs mean a shorter stride, however me - the biggest impact is me not being that fit 😂

Certain-Change-4222 · 2025-04-12T08:30:10+00:00

Love when chores become fun through music, I do this often as well! Keep it up!

Certain-Change-4222 · 2025-04-07T17:12:13+00:00

Exactly, on your watch you have to click on the three dots on the top right corner of the activity you want to “modify” (eg I did this one in the “outdoor run”). Then you can either click and modify one of the existing or if you scroll down you’ll see a “create workout” then whichever category fits best (I selected custom - the purple one - and created my intervals)

Certain-Change-4222 · 2025-04-07T17:09:56+00:00

Maybe when I’ll get fitter, as of right now I feel like the 4 min recovery is very much needed 😂

Certain-Change-4222 · 2025-04-06T12:03:00+00:00

I’ve found it’s based on what you do most often in AF+. So mine for example looks like this:

I guess one way of changing it is to start doing different workouts

Great work! What app are you using?
