Week 2, run 1 - done

Evening run this time. I found it ok - hard at times but I was at a running track and the way the splits were working out, after the first one, I knew roughly where I needed to run to for my time to be done.

Looking forward to run 2 on Thursday already.

Brilliant stuff - splits - get you with the running terminology! ;)

It's still interesting though that the time of running can make a difference, I’ve never done a track, so that must have been interesting in its own right.

These running recipes take time to work out, but sounds like you’re enjoying it and at this stage of the programme that’s such good news, for your success.

Lovely well done

Lol - a lifetime of watching athletics on the telly give some you the terminology but not the ability :-)

I've been running at our local running track - it's a public space and we are lucky to have it available. I will need to venture somewhere else but, for now, I'm happy.

I am enjoying it - I never thought that I would feel so... accomplished by being able to run a wee bit.

Ah the principle of all the gear, no idea. Which was my phrase of choice! Brilliant though genuinely, it’s fab when something like this clicks
