Week 4 done.

[susan22]

Today I did my 3rd week 4 run and according to Map my Run went further in less time. Can't wait for Tuesday to start week 5. Went shopping yesterday and got kitted out with a sports bra (hard to find one in my size), running trainers (blissful compared to my old trainers) and some comfortable Capri trousers to wear. Spent so much I will have to keep running to make it worth while!

I had a peek at week 5 - do they really think I can run for 20 mins? Well I never thought I would run for 5 mins so maybe, just maybe they are right. I hope so.

You'll do it Susan. The program has prepared you for this and you will feel great when you finish. Good luck

You can do it the 20min sounds horrific but it is doable. I never in a million years thought I could do it but I did. It's definitely in the mind not the body.

Good luck

You will do it, the programme works. Your new gear particularly the shoes and bra are a great investment and you will definitely feel the benefit now you are running for longer distances. Enjoy the buzz you will have when you complete your next run : )

Have faith in the programme - I always believed if laura said I could do it - I could.

Roll on week 5 -

good luck

How did you find week 4? I have my first try on tuesday and think I'm going to struggle. Just looks so much tougher than 3!

I thought I would not manage the 5 minutes, but took it really slow and did it. I found that after the first 3 minute and 5 minute runs I was quite breathless, but the 2nd set seemed easier. I am sure that you will surprise yourself! Good luck.
