O.k so I made it and even managed a few words with a friend who turned up at the gym I was praying inside that she wouldn't notice me that way I didn't have to try talking as well as running and breathing although running is a bit of an exaggeration more of a gentle jog I feel but I DID IT! But boy do my legs ache also did 10 lengths of the pool as part of my cool down May have been a step too far this week! Bring on run 2

Thanks sunshine01 the best of luck to you for today. Hope you are feeling better. Can I ask did you find it difficult as I found it the most difficult run so far but I think it's my breathing technique or lack of it, I have tried lots of different ways to try and regulate it but nothing seems to work. I must look a dreadful sight when puffing around the streets or in the gym.
