new running partner

I think I have found a local running partner at last :>)

RP is a new member of staff at the gym and has not done more than 10k - but is entered for Robin Hood half!!

so we went out today for a 2 hour plod - by her 10k pace she is quicker than me, but does not have the endurance

so for the first 5 miles she was tootling along chatting away and I was keeping up


but after 5 miles she began to find it harder - and as we were doing run a mile walk a minute (or two) she was asking 'surely the mile is up'

so we could be quite good for each other - she'll pull me a long - and I'll help her get out the door and help her endurance

we will probably only meet once a week for a long run, but that means I can do my long run off road along cycle tracks - which is much better :>)


so a positive outcome


here's the data (if blogger is behaving)

distance	1.00	1.00	1.00	1.00	1.00	1.00	1.00	0.96	7.96>
pace	13:40	14:11	14:06	14:11	15:06	13:37	15:30	14:33	14:26
AHR	133	144	141	140	140	1465	139	143	141

so, it was slow, but included a few pauses to stretch during our "walk a minute" minute
