Week 7 Run 1

โ€ข12 Replies

Finally ๐Ÿ™€ run delayed due to a flooded park then ice and Iโ€™m too much of a coward still to run in daylight or public ๐Ÿ™ 2 attempts needed for this run the first one I went late in the afternoon but I think too soon after I had eaten as 10 minutes in I promptly threw up ๐Ÿคฎ out again early this morning and managed just to complete this the cold when Iโ€™m breathing nearly had my lungs failing me and before you all say buff I have one but I can only wear it for periods or I feel like I canโ€™t breathe! Never mind moan over and run done!!! Woohoo!!

Well done..out there and doing it:) ( is your Buff too tight ?)

in reply to Oldfloss

No not to tight I just feel sometimes I canโ€™t get enough air into my lungs and Iโ€™m still at a snails pace so itโ€™s not like Iโ€™ve speeded up ๐Ÿ™

Right... I just wondered...hmm

Oh dear... I sometimes feel like that too, but I find my Buff is thin enough and loose enough to allow air flow. I do know what you mean though.

I find the air much too cold to go without... I was gasping the other Sunday!

Mind, that could just be me and old age!

Do you nose breather or mouth breathe.. ? Or both.. I tend to nose and mouth when I start and then just mouth..( noisily :) I only ask because i wondered about a running balaclava... I just got a great running top from Lidl with a built in one...!

in reply to Oldfloss

The same nose and mouth then only mouth I will be persevering

I canโ€™t run with a Buff over my face. I put it round my ears instead ๐Ÿ™‚

Yeah going out too soon after food will make you feel sick. Which is why we say wait for an hour to 90 minutes

Never mind, you did it ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ‘โœ”๏ธ

Yip I went back out and done it! ๐Ÿ˜Š

I can't run with a buff over my face either - steams up my glasses!!! Then I get too hot and sweaty in the face which then gets icy cold when I take it down, unpleasant all round. I also hate running in daylight and public! Unfortunately only way to get over that is to do it, little by little. I still haven't got there yet.

It's bl**dy hard work all round when it's cold, breathing, legs, joints, all painful. Really well done for getting out there and over with!!

I can relate to absolutely everything you have just said Fishypieface! Maybe should have done this program in the summer lol but Iโ€™ve started it in the Canary Islands came home to finish it but the cold ice etc has held me back so I guess when I return to the Canary Islands in about 2 weeks I will hopefully graduate ๐Ÿ˜Š
