Week 4 R3 done, ooh, it was a hard one...

[Runlikeahare]

Finished the third run for week 4 today, the end of the second 5 minute run was hard going but I didn't stop so technically this week was a success. I remember saying last week that the 90 second runs were becoming really easy, this week the three minute runs required much less effort, never thought that would happen. Have to confess though that I'm not particularly looking forward to next week, seems like a bit of a jump!

Also feeling happy with my form, I really like midfoot/ forefoot strikes and running is definitely easier with this form, don't think I could heel strike now if I tried. Have been watching loads of gait analysis videos which has really helped me to learn how to run efficiently and my joints all seem happy far! So, week 5 starts on weds, fingers crossed! Xx

Well done Runlikeahare ,sounds like success to me if you completed it! Hope you get on ok on Weds. I did W5R1 this morning and I found it ok. I must admit every run to me seems difficult but at least we are going up through the weeks! Good luck

Laura will take you through week 5. Take a browse through the week 5 posts. Lots of people find it the most memorable run & they all looked on with trepidation before the run. Don't worry prepare some distractions to think about whilst running & take it slowly.
