W4 done, excited and apprehensive about W5

2 Replies

Just completed R3 of W4! As usual there was the problem of finding a route without hitting traffic lights while running, avoiding being seen by people who know me and not running uphill. The last two are really difficult in Edinburgh but as time goes on I find I am less self-conscious and more able to cope with a wee incline. Another diminishing problem is the sore legs, so much better than in the first three weeks.

So all in all I'm feeling pretty good about W5, as long as I don't dwell on the third run. And so far the programme has been shown to know what it's doing so I have to believe that I'll be ready for it.

Well done.

That third workout will be your shortest overall since W3.

Carryon believing.
