Week 1 complete!

My sleep definitely wasn’t great last night, I’ve been awake since 1:30am.

Went out just before 5am, final run of this week and it definitely felt easier compared to the other two. Around half way round I felt like I’d been running for ages, definitely longer than a minute. Not sure what happened, I think the app may have paused for a little so I maybe did like 3 minutes of running instead?

I also had a really good playlist on Spotify, so far I’ve just been listening to one artist - today I went with a running one and it was great.

The minutes of running seemed to go really quickly and the 90 seconds of walking seemed to take forever!

Glad that week 1 is over - hopefully week two will feel around the same!

Ha definitely wasn’t my choice to wake up at 1:30 but I would’ve woken up at 5 to get this run done anyways. So far I’ve done a lot of running along a dual carriageway with a speed limit of 50 mph so cars are going way too fast to notice me ahah!

Good luck 💞

That’s brilliant! Good for you!

I took on stand still rush hour traffic (not by choice) and I’m not scared to run outdoors anymore. Good luck to you too! ❤️

Ha my first run I did at 10am on a Sunday morning, so I ran past a couple of dog walkers and a few other runners and walkers, and that was okay. I’ll get there though 💪🏻

Well done!

I might have to try a ready made running playlist 🤔 No idea at my speed though.

Congratulations on completing week 1. Week 2 is a good one 👌🏽

Thank you! I have no idea on my speed either but this felt good! There are slower/faster ones too and it was so easy to do. I was surprised by how many songs I actually knew on it too :)

This weather really doesn't help sleep. Respect for getting up so early and completing the week. Fantastic! Love the spotify playlists sorted to bpm. So motivating.

Thank you! And yeah, I didn’t think I’d like a running playlist but I think it really helped me today :)
