Week 4 done💪

[pilquin]

Well who would believe it ! I’m on week 5 starting Monday ! Having a quick look at what’s ahead I see the 3rd run is 20 mins no walking !! Now that scares me really scares me !!!! Doesn’t seem possible but I’ll try

Hi pilquin. I'm at exactly the same stage as you - just completed wk4r3 and starting wk5 on Monday. I know what you mean about r3! Good luck next week and keep us posted how you get on

I and probably everyone else who has passed down this road before us felt exactly the same about the 20 minute as you do. You know what? we all got through it. Everyone tackles it differently I guess but the way I did it was to find 4 songs i love all approximately 5 minutes and put together a playlist. I just concentrated completely on the music and as the songs went by so the end came nearer, I barely listened to the commentary at all. Oh and don't forget slow and steady!!. Good luck. 😁

It's absolutely possible, every run to date plus the 1st 2 of week 5 are all preparing you ready for that run, every run you do strengthens your muscles a little bit more and improves your stamina.

Just remember though to take it slow and steady and you'll be fine

Hi pilquin, have no fear, as the others have said, you will be ready for that run when the time comes.

Start your runs nice and slow and steady and stay slow...you will be able to do it..you are amazing.😊x

Spoiler alert!! I’m on week 5 next week too and promised myself no peeking! Now I’m scared too

Yea sorry I didn’t think of that. But why should I be scared alone 🤣
