Week 1 run 3

[RunningForBroke]

Today was my 3rd run on the program. I ran out in the park (it's around 28.8 degrees C [84F]) and something amazing happened: I completed the run!!!! I did slow WAY down during some of the running segments, but I didn't walk. I do have a sneaking suspicion that the app might have skipped a run. It was malfunctioning a bit today. But I could have done that too. I was slow as molasses, but I ran 1.1km (0.68 miles) today. I'm happy!!!! I did repeat the first run of week 1 when I couldn't pull it off, but if I can run the full w1 program on Saturday I will go on to week 2 almost on schedule! One question for experienced runners: do you often come home after a run and get chills? Too funny.

Definitely - it doesn't matter how warm I am after a run, I cool down very quickly afterwards. How on earth you can run in those temperatures though I will never know! Very well done. Keep it up and you will soon start to reap the benefits.

Yeah, the heat certainly adds to the challenge. At least it wasn't humid too - that's worse. We get both extremes of weather here. Hopefully that - and the hills - toughens me up. 😻😎

No chance of getting chills here - the temperatures are over 20°C before I get out at for my run at 7.30 a.m.... I glow all the way home

I've just read your post again. You run in 29°C? You're a nutter! Is it cooler in the morning? Maybe it'd be better to run then.

My problem is that I have to be at work early in the morning. I also have about a half an hour drive to get there. Basically I 'm up at 5 every morning already. Getting out at 4-4:30 am dors not appeal lol.

That does complicate matters. How about a Cinderella run at midnight?

I think the glass slippers might just do me in 😉.

No probs - one swish of Mfam's magic wand and *ZAP! POW!* A brand new pair of Asics with flashing lights
