Week 4 Smashed!

[Marvo69]

Well I might be a slow, bald fatty, but today I fought back! Free of children and the ASBO dog, I waited for the afternoon heat to subside a little and got out there to knock off week 4. (The perceptive ones here will notice that I claimed to complete week 4 previously. I suspect the lack of oxygen to my brain had made counting to 3 tricky at the time!). I ran only yesterday so was a little anxious about missing the rest day, but tomorrow is my birthday and I know I'm expected in the pub all afternoon with comrades, so no run is going to happen tomorrow and I'll be very dusty for Thursday's outing too!

Any how, I knew next week starts by stepping things up to 8 mins, and I wanted to have an 8 minute under my XXL belt before then, to go into the dreaded week 5 with some confidence. So after the last set of 5 mins I just kept going... And stopped when Laura told me my 5 minute warm down was finished. I make that 10 MINUTES!

COME ON WEEK 5... YOU DON'T FRIGHTEN ME!

SLOW... and steady.... just do what you need to !

There is a way to go yet... and no week should frighten anyone... you are ready for each and every run... !

Enjoy your birthday celebration and make sure you are well hydrated ( water) before Thursday's run...

Yes, I know I sound like your Mum... but I need to keep you safe... well done... and move on, gently and with confidence... you will do this...

Well done! If your birthday is a heavy one there's nothing wrong with taking an extra rest day 😉

You do yourself a disservice- you are now a runner! Look how far you've come - so not that unfit hey? I've just started W5 today & was surprised that it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. This programme really does work. Take it slow & gentle. Have a fab birthday.
