Well, I'm amazed to be typing that I've finished wk 8 and am ready - ish to contemplate wk 9. I can remember so clearly how tough it felt to run for five minutes ( or even 60 secs, at first) - and here I am having done 3x28 mins. It's a great programme - now I feel the difficulties are mostly psychological, rather than physical.
Apart from a bit of arthritis in my knee, I've had no physical issues during the programme other than some stiffness in my hips the day after running - well, I'm nearly 52 😣 ) and the arthritis was there to start with anyway!
After the last two runs I've learned that running after eating is a mad and stupid idea - I felt I was dragging myself through each minute of running - and that I need to have a clear idea of my route in my head, or I'm far too tempted to just head for home when it all feels too much!
I haven't posted much on here but have gained ( and still gain! Sometimes it feels lonely out there, even with Laura!) so much encouragement from people's replies and from reading other people's posts. Thanks everyone xx
