W4R3

I did it!!! Who's the Mammy!!! Wasn't easy today (ok so it isn't easy any day) because minus 4 freezing fog, bitter east wind, legs soooo cold blah blah blah!! Even Winston wasn't keen.....however, we managed it! Praise the Lord that it's 2 days until the next run though. Before Monday, I might lie down in a darkened room, listen to the podcast and envision myself getting through it................time and time again! Mind over matter and all that ...xx

You know you can slot in an extra rest day whenever you need it. Sometimes it just gives you that extra oomph! You are doing an amazing job. Week 5 next and that means you're almost half way through already! Go Mammy😁😁😁

Thanks McFitty the thing is, ssshhhh, hubby doesn't know I do this, I want to surprise him! So have to do Mon, Wed, Fri. I'm fairly sure I'll be ok, just need not to overthink it and just do it...xx

I reckon that doing this programme through the winter is a good way of making sure you've got the stick-ability to keep at it! You're doing great

Makes me feel like a Marine ...xx

If we can do it in these temps, nothing will stop us😉 I do look forward to nicer weather and longer days but at the moment going through these conditions is only going to benefit us👍Im looking forward to the call off the SAS😉

Hi, saw that you're following me - welcome! I managed to lose about 3 stone since last February, carefully logging all the food I ate, re-educating myself about what I eat. I used MyFitnessPal on my smartphone - it's wonderful. I managed W4R3 today, but it was a "skin of the teeth" thing - frankly I hated that last running interval with a passion. I'm moving on to W5R1 next week but am expecting to have to introduce a new coding system to keep track of all the practice runs I have to do before I manage it - I thought maybe I'd just add a bit on the end giving me W5R1/1 for the first attempt, W5R1/2 for the next etc!
