Magic W3R1 - positively uncomfortable

Doing 15 mins today felt like it would be a bit cheaty so decided to make it harder. I headed for undulating ground and some short sharp inclines around the estate (housing type not me living it up running in my grounds 🤣🤣🤣)

I also pushed the pace just a little so I was uncomfortable. This is generally a breathing rather than leg issue. A fellow forumite calls it getting comfortable with uncomfortable. 👍

Finished off with some squats today as did a gazillion planks and bridges in Pilates yesterday 😊

Hope you are all having a good week. Hopefully I'll have some shoe porn to share on Thursday 🙏

Happy running folks xxx

Sounds a good way to push along while doing the time plan. I couldn’t start with the group, so greedily picking up all hints dropped along the way! 👍😄

I know what you mean about the 15 minutes, it just seems too easy doesn’t it?! 😂😂 I pushed the pace a bit for the very same reason 😃

Looking forward to the shoe porn. Happy running! 😃

😂 I saw your planks post when I got back from my Pilates class tonight, it made me laugh wryly! What a good run you did today, the short run is a great opportunity to push it a little, good job!

I think you’re spot on with that notion of feeling uncomfortable. If we want to push ourselves then we have to accept we’ll feel a bit of discomfort and that’s something we don’t do very often in everyday life.

Good for you for pushing 😩
