Week 5 Run 1 - Yuck!

[Delilah_77]

I knew as soon as I woke up I wasn't 'feeling' it - not very well at the moment, but I really wanted to get outside and run for a change (I'm usually on the treadmill). It was horrid, nothing in my legs, couldn't wait for the 5 minutes to end! I have since worked out I was running quite a bit faster outside than I do on the treadmill, which may have contributed, or it could just be the lurgy! Anyway, I finished it, but I'm dreading the next 2 runs now!

Well done for getting on with it! I usually run on the treadmill( loosely called running I may add).I find when you run outside you can immediately change pace whereas on the TM you have to notch it up.so is actually easier... also I did week 3 run 1 a few days and it was horrible.Today it felt great! So your next run need n't be horrid! Good luck

Thanks! Back on the treadmill for tomorrow's run, so fingers crossed!

Well done for keeping going- I think we also struggle with the odd lead-leg-day as I like to call them. I'm sure your next run will seem like a breeze in comparison

Yeah, I'm sure you're right. I'm looking forward to it actually - this week it starts to feel like being a 'runner' is actually possible, doesn't it?
