Week 6 run 1 - one more step close...

[Viraniparvez]

Hurray

Completed week 6 run 1.

I have a very mix feeling about today's run,

Positive side

I did it well with completing

Distance of 4.70 km

Timings of 36.26 min

That's WOW isn't it ?

When I started the run I was confident that this run would be very easy and smooth going, specially after running for 20 mins continue. But it didn't went that smooth. On the phase of 8 mins I was struggling for breath . It was hard no doubt but was doable

As told to me by all graduates that it's just in you mind ...

However with sweet and sour Felling I completed the run

Learned one thing very straightforward- NOT TO BE OVER CONFIDENT !!

Also planning to get new shoes today

Week 6 Run 2 - Here I come !!

Be very cautious about 'new shoes' and running in them.. ( just a word of caution)

Thank you so much

What I am planning is that tomorrow is my rest day

So instead of taking complete off I will go to run with my wife

She is on week 1 day 2. So this will work as a test for the new shoes ?

Hope it works well

Hi KittyKat007

The words were exactly what I was looking for

Thank you for the motivation

Well about shoes:- I am living in such an area where getting a good shoes is not possible

The old shoes that I am using have lost all its foam in the base and I can feel the sole of it now .. That's the only reason I am getting a new one

It's not specifically a running show but something that is doable

I have promised my self that if I complete the entire training I will gift my self a great shoe on my birthday which is coming exactly when I complete my last run

Hope I do so

Thanks for the motivation

Well done! Lots of people find week 6 really tricky after the excitement of week 5 run 3. The key is to take it nice and slow and steady, if you are struggling with your breathing slow down a little.

You are really getting through the programme now - good luck!

Some runs feel great, some runs don't. Enjoy the good ones, and be happy you got out if the house on the bad ones. Nothing to worry about.

[Viraniparvez Graduate in reply to runswithdogs]

Hmmm thanks

Till today I completed every run. Hope with all your support and LAURA I will complete the rest

I read a good book on latest exercise research recently..

In it , they suggested ' gait analysis' trainers had been shown to actually be WORSE for sports injuries than conventional running shoes.. I personally would stick to ' normal' ones

Book was.. The First Twenty Minutes by Gretchen Reynolds.
