Week 7 run 1

[antet]

Hoping to get out for my first run of week 7 tonight. Felt pleased but pretty dreadful after my last 25 minuter, but am hoping that was just my body not being used to it! Will heed all the great advice I was given on here - slower, slower, slowest, distraction techniques and chunking it up. Hoping it will feel easier.

Well SLOW is the answer. It's so damned easy to press the "TONK" button and go too fast. I am ALWAYS going too fast (and I'm an old timer graduate) and I have to remember the words of JUJU who says "GO STEADY". Just those two words ringing in your brain will do the trick. Have fun ANTET! You can do this!

I went steady and it was great today - felt so much better and had more stamina. Thanks for your encouragement 😀

Glad it went well. You will never go wrong by going slower and steadier...

My middle names... Slow and steady! That is the way, and it works It may not get easier, but you... you get stronger with every single run!

Definitely felt stronger on this second 25 min run. Felt really good at the end and v pleased. Thanks for egging me on 😀
