Holy cow week 4!!!

[Woodhaven20]

Completed week4 run 1 tonight. Flip I knew it was going to be hard. But crikey. In fairness having spent this morning walking the dog and walking around belfast zoo with family, the legs did not fail me. A zoo built on a hill and pushing a buggy is enough to tire anyone out and before doing this, I would have been fast asleep on the sofa refusing to budge until bedtime. However, having started this programme, my energy levels are fantastic and I have enjoyed the runs. I was the girl in school who would have done anything and everything to get out of running as I was pants, but this works. It actually works. I have never run for 5 minutes and tonight I did 😎

This was the run that freaked me out. 5 minutes! How on earth could I run that far. in retrospect once I achieved that no other run seemed impossible. So. yay for getting that one under your belt.

Very well done.. the hills and the buggy pushing..great for core strength!

Keep it slow and steady as you move on... you are ready for each and every run

[Woodhaven20 Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Thank you. I like to treat myself after every run with a nice cold can of coke zero. Better than a chocolate bar lol

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to Woodhaven20]

Much better.... I don't like chocolate !

[Irishprincess Graduate]

Ooooh I remember Belfast Zoo from my childhood - everything is hilly! Well done to you for the 5 minutes 💪💪💪

[Woodhaven20 Graduate in reply to Irishprincess]

Thanks. Not an easy walk at the best of times lol. But done and dusted ☺

[Katie204 Graduate]

Well done! I remember how daunting that first 5-minute run was. You've passed a milestone there!

[Christene Graduate]

Well done, W4 is great achievement, you are doing so well, keep it up... watch the hidden Km’s though, they can really catch you out ... 🙄😊

[Woodhaven20 Graduate in reply to Christene]

Kms? What do you mean

[Christene Graduate in reply to Woodhaven20]

The hidden Kilometres ... I went out for a run one evening last week, only 4.2km but I was totally shot by the end it, when I checked my stats I'd actually covered 11.5 Km during the day ... running in the evening usually means running on tired legs ...

[Woodhaven20 Graduate in reply to Christene]

Lol. That's what I thought you meant. I wear a fitbit to track my daily life and then also track my walks with the dog and the runs to keep tabs of my trainers life. I found that the state of shoes has a real impact on my legs. Yesterday was 7 miles. But that's part of life. Evenings are the time when I can fit the runs in as the little one is in bed and I can focus on me for a change
