Week 5 run 2

[emmaleonard44]

Enjoying reading all your posts. This morning ran wk 5 run 2 with the lovely olive ( Border terrier) and cannot believe that in just 4 weeks I am running for 8 minutes. Twice ! I am chuffed to bits.

Does anyone else find they kick in towards the last couple of minutes ?

Really well done. I know what you mean - none of us can believe it when we get to running 8 x2! Ridiculous - when that first minute 4 weeks ago was so hard! Well done - and everybody says (and they are right) that r3 is manageable too - and oh, what a feeling. I thought the first 5 mins went on forever, the next 5 were a struggle but after the first 10 I realised I was going to achieve it - and for the last 2 I speeded up. Good luck.

Often! I do sometimes worry that it means I haven't really been trying hard enough, but I genuinely think there's a little extra bit of adrenaline that kicks in when you know there isn't far to go. I even managed a kick for the last two minutes of w5r3, which amazed me! Of course all I'm really doing is trying to impress the lovely Laura Good luck with run 3, Steve
