I was a bit unsure if I'd manage this one today as I haven't run since Sunday but it was fine and I completed it. Again I couldn't believe I was only two and a half minutes into the run when I was told "you're halfway there" It felt like 4!
it was quite cool when I started so I wore a long sleeve top but felt it towards the end. I've also thought maybe I should drink lots of water before I run as I find half way through the run I get so thirsty.

Well done! Think when I hit 4 it was a feeling of "oh,really??!!" and then a big grin - weird! Wouldn't take too much water on before running in case of any stitch issues,etc having a little before and after does the trick
Well done on completing run 2 of week 4 debze. Just one more run (which you know you can do) then you're onto week 5 with me. You're doing great, so keep it up!
As for the drinking lots of water before you start. I don't think that's a good idea...maybe carrying a small bottle with you to have a swig every so often would be better?
It's strange, but when I first started I was so in need of a big glass of water (or any cold drink) after completing a run, but the last week or two I haven't really felt that thirst when I've finished.
Thank you! Yep I think I'll invest in a bottle I can carry as I think it would help. It's exciting and daunting at the same time looking at the longer runs..thinking can I achieve it but then being elated when you do lol
Well done. Just done the same run myself, time seemed to stand still mid run!!
We are both doing same run. Did week 4 run 2 today. Re hydration. I have a whole pot of green tea before I run and then another after. Don’t take anything with me and it works. I got this advice from friends who have been running for years. Try it and see how it works. Everybody is different so it’s a case of trying things out and seeing what works for you. Good luck.
