Week 4 Run 1

Wk4 R1 complete! I so didn’t want to run tonight but I made myself do it and I’m glad I did. It wasn’t pretty and at times I struggled with the nagging voices in my head telling me to stop but I slowed right down and made it! Feeling pretty proud I did it.

Struggling with shin pain at the moment and I know I am probably not hydrated enough before my run so I’m going to work on that for weekend. Happy running everyone!

Brilliant. Well done 👏👏. The feeling is great when you’ve done a run (but didn’t feel like it beforehand). Good luck for the rest of the programme

well done, I did the same run this week and convinced myself I couldn't do it, but I did. Have an issue now though and I can't run so may go back to w3 when i'm better

That’s the spirit... stupid voices in your head can’t do this, but you can. You should be very proud of yourself, great run.

I struggled with hydration in my youth as I wasn’t good at sipping water, this time around I’m better at it. No run tomorrow so I’m having a couple of dehydrating drinks 😂
