Running before 9am?!

W5R1 just done. Much better than my last run. I’m still in shock that I’ve been out running at 8am on my day off. Sleeping in for as long as I can is my normal routine! Well impressed with myself 😊

Congratulations πŸƒ ! Me too! Went out at 8.45am, fuelled by oatibix from an hour earlier. Think something was wrong though as I found it surprisingly easy? Maybe I will wake up in a sec and realise it was just a dream! What do others eat pre-run early morning? We’re doing fab!

Well done to you too! I just had a cup of tea before my run but I can never eat breakfast when I first get up.

Totally agree! I was struggling with WK 4 but so far enjoying WK 5 and looking forward to W5R2 tomorrow. We can do this πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

Hi Susieq174,

Yes, did Wk5R2 today. Found it surprisingly fine, even had my husband there to give me some high 5’s as I passed he m running. Loving it but still afraid of next one 😩
