I made a mistake with the podcasts and put on week 1 rather than w5r1. I was a bit surprised when Laura said to run for 1 min. I did that then found the right podcast. I had had quite bad pains in my hip was pleased that when I started to run, my hip was OK, but my legs from my knee down the side of my leg felt tight. I felt that the whole session was more of a stagger than a run, but I finished and survived. I had bought a new top in bright yellow as a safety measure but hadn't bargained for how warm it was - far too warm at the moment, so I'll make sure I save that for dark cold evenings. Anyway one more down.

well done! I made the mistake of putting a long sleeved top on too and was so warm after the first run. Good luck on your second run on week 5. :)

Thanks. Yes, its difficult regulating temperature. I did get a cycling top from Aldi and this was a perfect weight. I'll stick to this for a bit longer!!

progress! Is this the right thing to do, to repeat the runs until it feels easier? Thank you!
