Went out after work and it started to rain and I thought it will keep me cool, did my warm up walk and off I went .
After 1-2 minutes really bad headache that's the 3rd time now , that within a few minutes I'm getting a headache, then I run through what I thought was surface water, it covered my shoes lol.
At least I forgot the headache as I then finished my 10 minutes squelching 😄.........
To cap it all off I did it, I'm dreading week 3 as its 25 minute straight, today's running was lovely, as my breathing was good on the 2x 10 minutes intervals, just I know last week I struggled with 20 minutes even thou I did it.
Will find out Sunday as 2 X 14 hour shifts today and Saturday , so after work Sunday I try to conquer this breathing lark

You are showing all the attributes of a true runner. Ignoring weather, headaches and floods...... well done, keep going. The only thing you do need to change is your fear of upcoming runs. Fear is negative, causes unhelpful tension and is totally uncalled for. Look how far you have come and believe that you are in control. The very worst that can happen is that you would have to repeat a run if you don't complete it. You will complete it because............you are showing all the attributes of a true runner.
Fab stuff and well done. Make sure your shoulders are not tensed as that can cause headaches and keep well hydrated. You have no need to dread any future run. You have made it up to now, you have a brilliant attitude and your body is ready for the next run. Just take it nice and slowly and don't think too much about the breathing thing. It all settles down eventually 😊
