Week 5, Run 1. Back at it

Back again.

After doing a 10k last October around Finsbury Park (HILLS!) I stopped for one reason and another. I put off starting again for an age, even though I knew I wasn't feeling great - I've really learnt to understand that exercise actually makes my mind feel good, who knew?? - I started again a little over a month ago and this morning I completed Week 5 Run 1. Same as before, finding my breathing much easier, even in the heat and with asthma, but my legs get tired first. Thankfully, after doing this once before I know that the legs catch up eventually.

I just wanted to write a note to say hello, and solidarity to everyone else who's on their own journey, in this heat!

Welcome back! I’ve just finished my second visit to the programme. Last time I used the treadmill and just a read out of what was required ie: no Laura in my ear. This time I was outside and listening to Laura’s advice and encouragement. Really helpful to know that you have achieved running fitness before and feel it coming back however slowly! Enjoy!
