W4R1 complete

Absolutely loved my run today. Started in the gym for weeks 1 and 2 but no treadmill free last Sunday so took the plunge in the park and now I get why people love running!!! The idea of 5 minutes sounded daunting but wasn’t as bad as I’d anticipated 😊

Great stuff, well done. Great the way this programme takes you along steadily until you are doing stuff that seemed impossible just a few weeks ago, isn’t it! Did my w4r1 this morning - but on treadmill, haven’t ventured outside yet... but will do soon :)

In some ways I’m glad the decision was taken out of my hands!! I’d built it up into something that it didn’t have to be. Main issue for me (apart from needing to dodge people/dogs) was that I’d become very reliant on the timer on the treadmill instead of developing a sense of pace. Good luck with your next run!!
