Got through a full re-run of W1R1!

[zobles]

I'm just back from my second run of week 1 but going to count it as run 1 because I managed to complete all 8 runs! Thanks to your advice and tips, the key things that got me through were slowing down and then slowing down a bit more! not competing with hubby, switching from the app to the podcasts that include music and consciously managing my breathing. Feel great!

It was really windy which caught my breath a few times but to be expected considering we do this on a desolate moor in the Highlands of Scotland.

Pic is Hubby miles in front doing it at his own pace with his own app which made a real difference to me!

Funny, your husband looks just like a moorland track

Extremely well done for figuring out how this programme can work for you! My husband is also zillions of times faster than me despite being the same height, I could never run with him.

Again, great job!

he's there somewhere among the sheep in the very far distance haha. It was far better this time for both of us!

My hubby is mega fit...can run for 8-10 miles without stopping!!!accidentally ran 22 miles one sunday pm because he got lost!!!& here i am struggling to run for 90 seconds without stopping haha 🤣😂

[zobles in reply to Hidden]

22miles!!! you may be able to join him sooner than you think if this plan works for you as it has for many others on here!

[Hidden in reply to zobles]

Haha...i highly doubt it!!!it will be nice to go out running with him at some point though...but i will be seriously hampering his progress!!!🤣😂

What a lovely place to run! Gorgeous

[zobles in reply to TheClaw]

it is gorgeous...its the Dava Way, an old railway line over 20 miles long through stunning scenery and I'm lucky enough to live on it so no excuses for not getting out there!

Gorgeous view, but are you sure there's a hubby there?

[zobles in reply to Hidden]

he's between the trees and just passed a sheep....may have to zoom in, very far ahead. its no wonder I almost keeled over trying to keep up with him the first time😂

[Hidden in reply to zobles]

No wonder indeed... well done though. Your pace your achievement

Well done Mitch! Bit of M does is the best soundtrack for me!

[zobles in reply to Djraw]

I use the podcasts which have music. If i listened to M I'd probably dance haha

[Hidden]

Well done, that's awesome! I'm so happy you tried again and managed it 😁
