Shocked

[Brod2]

I have just finished w5r2 and I am so shocked that after a week off I have been able to complete 2x 8 mins runs and then decided to swim for half hour to relax . It feels great

I don't think the word should be shocked, you should be 'flabbergasted' and very pleased with your achievement, you can now look forward to running run 3 of week 5, that is running non-stop for 20 minutes, the run that some people dread, I know you won't dread it, you will enjoy it and be even more 'shocked' afterwards.

Thank you , I am looking forward to my third run of week 5 but I am apprehensive, I have not ran since 1976 so I am pleased with what I have done so far. Just read your profile and you are amazing and have given me inspiration

Thank you very much Brod2, at the moment I have a very slight pain on my right buttock, it's not really much at all BUT when I run it is quite sore, I can do all my other exercises without any problems. Just this morning I went for a 6K walk instead of a run and enjoyed it in the cooler temperatures we are now having. Word of warning from the Met Office, they say the heat is coming back later this week, especially for the south of England.

Hi,just completed my first ever 20 minute run struggled but made it . I hope your pain is getting better . I run on the treadmill because I don’t have the courage to run outside .
