Week4 R1

Good morning Run1 completed much to my amazement especially after the 1st 3 mins, boy that seemed like a step to far , maybe it was the 2 day break but anyway the 5min runs really weren't that bad and the last 5 misns was really good and what a lovely morning to run Still cant believe this me i am talking about, Running ?? lol

have a great week every one

Well done Rob... you have given me inspiration for my Run 1 of week 4 this evening!! I am hoping that my struggle through my last run of week 3 was a blip and that perhaps my busy Sunday didn't help.

Going to try to set off a bit slower, but I'm convinced I can walk faster!! But appears from others that this isn't a problem and we can work on speed later.

Hi Andy,thanks I definitely run slow and steady i do push myself a little on the last run ,only as i know i can walk at the end of it lol I did read on the NHS site its says we can have good and bad runs , just accept them and move on to the next one look forward

I do look forward to my runs now , This my battle with years of smoking and being a complete lazy git really !!

There is a lot of support and encouragement from everyone on here and seeing their stories helps Hope your run goes well Andy you can do it

[AndyD Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Ditto on all of that!!! Will post the outcome in the morning

[Hidden in reply to AndyD]
