Hot and sweaty rocks!!! GO you!!!

You are getting into the longer runs now... relax into them and start to feel your happy pace... YOUR happy pace... you will know when it happens... a lovely feeling where your newly found running legs take over.. they take you onward, gently and confidently!

You will feel it... I promise you!

I've just put a post on actually as I've got a bit stuck in a rut, the legs can do it I just need to get my brain on board! Think it's probably a bout of the gremlins this week, need to make myself go out tomorrow! We will get there my dear!

Polly2810Graduate in reply to Charlottefc87

Onward and upward - slowly and steadily at your own pace ;)

Polly2810Graduate in reply to Irish-John

Oh it's that all right SLOW!! 🤣

I'm only just at the end of week 1, so I think you've done really well. Have a well deserved cuppa :) Like you, I don't have anyone cheering me on apart from the community here, but from what I've experienced so far, that's such a great help and encouragement.

Oh - and I know what you mean about the hot and sweaty thing... just been in the shower myself after week 1 run 3!!

Keep it up, you're doing really well :)

Thanks...you Have made the biggest move doing week 1 sk keep with it, it really works you will be on wk 7 before you know it!!! And yes this lot on here are the best! I coils not have done it without them all. Everyone really cares how you are doing...keep posting!

in reply to Polly2810

Thank you, can't believe I made it through week 1 to be honest. Really can't believe I went running in the rain! Comfort zone? What comfort zone?!

I really liked running in the rain on Sunday! ☔️☔️

in reply to Polly2810

Actually, it's not so bad, is it? It wasn't nearly as awful as I feared, but I was determined not to get discouraged this early on in the programme. I found I didn't need the coat, and that actually the rain was helping me to keep cool. Next time I'll bring shower gel with me, save time on having a shower when I get back :P
