Week 6 run 2 ✅

[Cornet-Carolyn]

Went out this evening after work and changed my route so I wasn't running the dark lane on my return. Found these 10 min runs came easier than I expected and even slightly uphill for a little bit. Looking forward to the 25 minute run on Sunday 😊

Sounds as though you're doing great

[Cornet-Carolyn Graduate in reply to rolysmate]

Really enjoying the programme and can't quite believe it!

[rolysmate Graduate in reply to Cornet-Carolyn]

think that's something that suprises a few of us, if at the beginning of the year someone had told me I'd be taking my running gear on holiday with me I would have laughed

Brilliant well done you keep going your doing amazing 😉

Well done!! This is what I’d hoped for with mine (seems we’re on the same week...) but I haven’t been as chipper this week. 25 min run due today or tomorrow but I’m feeling tired and sore and stressed.

I am so pleased you are on track and feeling great. I want to feel like that again next week!!

I have been loving the whole thing too

[Cornet-Carolyn Graduate in reply to Hidden]

It's strange but I found run 1 this week more of a struggle than this one. I'm not particularly speedy but enjoying building stamina, I even didn't care I was running along a busy road, 😂 Keep going slow and steady 🏃

Make sure you keep up or even ramp up your strength and stamina exercises on rest days

[Cornet-Carolyn Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Hi oldfloss, I don't actually do any exercises 😮 not really sure what I should be doing

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to Cornet-Carolyn]

Strength and flex..many of us used these..

Or, walking cycling... core strength exercise...swimming ..even gardening or housework helps.. I have a little routine I use off you tube..

Thing is.. our bodies have to keep up with our legs

[Cornet-Carolyn Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Great thank you

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to Hidden]

You will be fine.. the run will help with the stress. Take it steady

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate]

Lovely long runs now... Relax into them and find your happy pace. You are doing wonderfully and an uphill bit too... great stuff!

Slow and steady still and feel those newly found running legs carry you towards the podium

Nicely done
