W4 runs

Well D1 was awful so repeated it twice. D2 was done on the treadmill and went really well. So pleased with myself. D3 was meant to be yesterday but had physio appt so delayed it till today. Well today has been awful again 😟 ( completed in the park)

I couldn’t complete any of my runs. 2 out of 3 mins and 4 out of 5mins! My legs and knees ached. I’m certain I could walk faster than I jogged! Micheal Johnson congratulating me at the end didn’t cut it either 😊

Deflated? yes!

Think I’m going to repeat today’s run again on Thursday 🤦🏽‍♀️

Good plan... you’re doing great. Rest and then kick run 3’s ass down that trail or all over that gym.

I often have trouble completing the runs. Being on a treadmill helps me because it ensures I don't go too fast. And like you, I can definitely walk faster than I jog. But trust me, it will get better (albeit very slowly in my case). 🙂

Thank you 🙏🏽I’ve found week 4 so hard...

Treadmill is easier but is this real running?

A sense of achievement yes but then when on the road it’s harder 🤷🏽‍♀️

I’m going to try again on Thursday and see what happens. I’m not doing any exercise on rest days. Is this where I’m going wrong????
