I felt completely out of breath! Big but here though, I also ran up a couple of gentle slopes which in week one would have had me slowing to a walk. It's just these little tiny bits of improvement that are so amazing. On my last three minute run this guy came zooming past me making me look like I was going backwards lol! Can't wait to start week 4. Maybe should start describing myself as a runner, when I can catch that bloke up and overtake him. Mind you his legs are longer than mine he he!

Well done! It is amazing the improvements that you make. I've just completed run 2 of week 6, I really can't believe it! The plan is brilliant :-)

You're a runner when you start doing it for its own sake.

When you just use it as a means to some other end, you're an "other-ender" who has running in the toolbox. This includes running just as a tool to get the pleasure of "winning races". You're less of a runner, the more you're a racer.

Not what you're looking for?
