I set off on a chilly foggy morning, I decided to keep to shorts and long sleeve base layer....soon warmed up. After the first 10mins I did notice the breathing was a lot easier as I loped along at a comfortable pace.
The last half mile got tougher but I gritted my teeth and got my head down.
After that, I feel a real sense of achievement, I can’t believe I just ran 2mls 5 weeks after I literally ‘couldn’t run for a bus’ and it’s thanks to you guys. 2 days rest now
Nicely done especially when the days are getting just that little bit colder..
Thank you Jan, tbh I prefer the cooler conditions 😊 x
Congratulations, Ted. That's amazing and you should be justly proud of the progress you've made in just 5 short weeks. Good for you for doing it in the early morning cold and fog too; I'm not a 'morning person' - I usually run at lunchtime. I'm starting wk5 next, and I hope that I can do as well as you've done this week. Relax and enjoy your 2 well-earned rest days
Thanks Angela, it was a tough day today, possibly because I ran 23mins opposed to the 20......it was the last 3/10ths that I struggled with 😬
You’ll. do OK I’m sure....PMA 😊
Good luck x
Yes, you're running over and above the prescribed distance each session - at this rate, you'll smash the Santa Run
Well done, sounds a great run. 😀👍
Well done.
Make sure that head down is only metaphorical, otherwise it leads to bad posture and restricts breathing.
Great progress.
Thank you 😊
Yes, it was metaphorically speaking....didn’t grit my teeth either. ‘‘Twas my legs turning to jelly 😬
Yep, sometimes you just have to employ pure grit and determination! As long as nothing is hurting, this is all good. You have come so far! Running 2 x 5 mins is brilliant!
That Santa run looks like terrific fun. 🎅🏻🏃♀️
