I had devised a <a href=\"https:\/\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/2021\/06\/12\/jeffing-half-marathon-training-plan-for-sub-2-hours\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jeffing Half Marathon Training Plan<\/a> for myself and my teen. For me the aim was to get sub 2 hours, and the teen was to complete his first one. This is how things were going following the end of <a href=\"https:\/\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/2021\/08\/05\/the-fourth-week-of-jeffing-half-marathon-training\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">week 4<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Fifth Week<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The only walking I did on the Monday was the school run. In fact I had a lot going on with one thing or another and wasn&#8217;t feeling great. Emma (from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crazywithtwins.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CrazywithTwins<\/a>) picked up on this and suggested we meet up for coffee which was nice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/crazy-with-twins.jpg?resize=800%2C600\" alt=\"Pinkoddy and Crazy with Twins\" class=\"wp-image-28760\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/crazy-with-twins.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/crazy-with-twins.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/crazy-with-twins.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The training this week we mixed up due to the fact I needed to go to the hospital.  On the Tuesday we did 3 miles &#8211; a warm up, fast mile and a cool down. I was gutted that my fast mile began and ended on a walk as it was so close to my fastest!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/run-3-miles.jpg?resize=800%2C800\" alt=\"jeffing 3 miles\" class=\"wp-image-28761\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/run-3-miles.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/run-3-miles.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/run-3-miles.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/run-3-miles.jpg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Self-Isolating<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As I had to <a href=\"https:\/\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/2021\/07\/02\/hospital-covid-test-grateful-for-the-nhs-but-omg\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">self-isolate for hospital<\/a> we combined a long run with our 2 x 800m. Teen had shown me how I could change the lap alerts on my Garmin which made it easier! He decided to just straight run the 800m whereas I was jeffing them. He started off before me and at one point I even overtook him. This was on the first 800m. I was sad to see it wasn\u2019t my fastest and my second was slower. In total we decided to stop at 5 miles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We planned to go further but we were rather tired and hot. I agreed that it really was far enough. I don\u2019t want him to lose the motivation to train.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Rest of the Week<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course the rest of the week I was stuck in the house. Then I had my <a href=\"https:\/\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/2021\/07\/10\/a-flexible-sigmoidoscopy-experience-fear-of-a-perforated-bowel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">flexible sigmoidoscopy <\/a>which did involve a bit of walking &#8211; but that was it. The teen did have another stand up paddle board evening with the group he volunteers with though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/2021\/08\/24\/the-sixth-week-of-jeffing-half-marathon-training\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Week 6<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sub 2 hour half marathon training jeffing week 5<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":28761,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4699,4777,4014,4561],"tags":[3996,4528],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/run-3-miles.jpg?fit=800%2C800&ssl=1","uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/run-3-miles.jpg?fit=800%2C800&ssl=1",800,800,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/run-3-miles.jpg?resize=150%2C150&ssl=1",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/run-3-miles.jpg?fit=300%2C300&ssl=1",300,300,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/run-3-miles.jpg?fit=768%2C768&ssl=1",768,768,true],"large":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/run-3-miles.jpg?fit=800%2C800&ssl=1",800,800,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/run-3-miles.jpg?fit=800%2C800&ssl=1",800,800,true],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/run-3-miles.jpg?fit=800%2C800&ssl=1",800,800,true]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"pinkoddy","author_link":"https:\/\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/blog\/author\/pinkoddy\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"Sub 2 hour half marathon training jeffing week 5","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pepM9j-7t1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28707"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28707"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28707\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":28815,"href":"https:\/\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28707\/revisions\/28815"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/28761"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28707"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28707"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28707"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
