Week 4 run 2

Hi all. I’m jillyalex and started this app 4 weeks ago. I’m a fifty something who needs to lose some weight and get a bit fitter. Now in weeks 4 I’m really enjoying the routine. After a struggle on week 4 run 1 I have just completed run 2 and feel really good. Michael Johnston pushed me along. Feeling totally elated. Roll on Friday for the third run of the week. Loving this app. 🏃‍♀️

Hi That’s great to hear! When is your best time to run? I too am a 50 something - struggled early evening, but just completed W2R1 this morning and found it so much easier. Looking forward to the next. Enjoy your rest day tomorrow 👏🏻

Hi. My best time is definitely first thing in the morning. It gets me up and out. I’m doing most of my runs on the treadmill but have also done a couple outside. I find I can keep an eye on my pace on the treadmill. Well done on your run this morning.

Thanks - I agree re the treadmill- first time on one today, it was so much easier to judge my speed. I’m going to plan my runs first thing I think. Thanks for your inspiration 👍🏻

Think we must of started on the same day. I completed week 4 run 2 today. Have shocked myself at how much I can actually run. I’m 50 next week and have the 20 min run on my birthday. If I can manage that it will be the best birthday present I can give myself. Keep up the good work. X

Excellent. Yes looks like we’re on the same Plan! Keep it going and I’ll be doing the 20 minute run with you. 🏃‍♀️

Well done you, Mr Smooth aka Michael Johnson was my coach of choice and his dulcet tones kept me at it. Its fab that you’re loving the app and the runs, that means graduation success is sure to be yours...
