Week 1 run 3

[Markipc]

Well that one seriously hurt tonight but felt good once I’d finished apart from my right shin hurting which I haven’t had in the previous 2 runs, onto week 2 on Thursday 😀

That's the hardest week out of the way, onwards and upwards

[Markipc in reply to ChrisAllen1]

I hope so, was a tough one tonight 😱

[ChrisAllen1 Graduate in reply to Markipc]

They really do get easier, week 3 was a break through for me.

[Markipc in reply to ChrisAllen1]

Have you done all nine weeks?

[ChrisAllen1 Graduate in reply to Markipc]

I am in the middle of Week 8, during Week 1 I felt like collapsing after 60 seconds, the programme really works 😁

[Markipc in reply to ChrisAllen1]

Nice one, your doing really well, all the best for the rest of the programme. I think once my body gets used to doing some exercise it’ll get easier 🙏

Slow and steady... well done you!

[Markipc]

Thanks, find it hard to get motivated to go running after work, once I’m going though it’s enjoyable 😀

I have learned that the nights I feel least like running are the ones I need it most. Last night ran off the stress and low mood from a difficult day and felt so much better for it, even though I also felt tired. Of course it does depend on what your work is but mine is desk work and meetings so not physically hard.

Mark, use your run after work to de stress yourself. Take it slow and steady and you will be fine. Good luck.
