Week 4 Run 1 - That was harder!!! 😱

[HelplessSpectator]

On my rest day yesterday I started some paper hanging in the living room.. woke today knowing it was going to be a harder run/day today.

Started off 'slow and steady' and tried to keep that pace through out.. When the half way bell went I thought I have got to add an extra loop in here, otherwise I will be back home to early!! So turned left and off to find another extra bit..

The last run hurt like mad... my legs felt like they were about to drop off 😖😭 then jo pipped up saying I still had a minute to go!! It was a good job she wasn't there to hear my response!!!

Finished it though and am feeling great for doing it without stopping.. the real shot in the arm came when jo said at the end that I'm now running more then walking... we are back on speaking terms after that..

Happy running all 👍🏻😁❤️🏃

Not helpless at all and embrace the swearing at the coaches. I am sure they went on a training course to build up their shoulder muscles to cope with the scorn and bad language... You reached the 2nd third today, so it's all good progress... next run is half way. Yay go you

ha ha I know exactly what you mean, those 5 mins are a shock aren't they. I too had some colourful language when Sarah was talking to me on my Wk4 run 1. I'm due to be doing my run2 tonight but need to take at least one extra rest day due to a niggling back injury. Funny thing is I'm so annoyed but i know i can't risk it though. Fingers crossed for feeling better tomorrow. Good luck for your next run.
