Goodbye W3 and a scary hello to W4

[lightweightkate]

Didn't think I'd get this far - still finding it tough on the old calves but managed the last 3 mins a bit better today. Bit scared of running 5 minutes stints next but three weeks ago I couldn't run 60 seconds so I guess Laura knows what she is doing with me.

Finding I am recovering better now and slightly less out of puff after the runs and I do feel good when I get home

However, forgot to turn my Map my Run off today until after driving home and my workout made me look like the bionic man - did the first part of my last kilometre in 1 minute 😂😂😂

Well done you are doing well. Can just picture your face when you looked at map my run stats!

[lightweightkate Graduate in reply to dddd4]

Haha! Bit like this 😮

Haha your last sentence made me chuckle!

I remember often having no idea how I'd manage the next week's runs - loads of us felt like that at one point but we managed it! Trust in the programme, it's set up this way so that it's achievable. You can do it!

Thanks & I am enjoying the challenge. Will wait until Sunday and run then

I suppose I still wonder if there comes a point when one is obese (me, not you dear reader!) that you physically can't do a certain week? After my warm welcome to the forum the other day I am reading some of the stories of those a few weeks ahead of me and really wondering if I am going to be able to do it. I had a boss once who said he was built for fighting not running (meaning his height and stature) and it's kinda stayed with me.

Laura is never wrong. Repeat after me.... !!

I did the opposite first time I used map my run. Didn't turn it off, although was convinced I had really should put my specs on, but I then sat down with tea and breakfast for an hour. Snails pace is an understatement 😎

Oh I love that...how depressing

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to OldPossum]

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate]
