Well what can I say... that was feckin tough! I felt I was slower and not as good as my 1st run, but I went a minute faster.. Go figure lol! I'm definitely not aiming to be fast, I just was to run a bit

I think I need a new place to run tho, any time a car comes I either stop or walk as I'm embarrassed 😔

Did get weighed on Wed and had half lb on, was gutted but my leader says it's the exercise, keep it up and the weight will follow, so I am

And thanks for all the lovely replies, it motivated me. Maybe I should turn them into a podcast to listen while I'm out doing my next run lol 😉x

Ignore the cars your still lapping them and everyone else on the couch. Slow and steady. You can do this x

The cars are most probably on the way to the drive through, the runners are gonna live longer... be proud!

Keep up the great work.

Thanks unfitnomore

Now to tackle how to breathe so I'm not wheezing like an old man 🤔

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to Hidden]

It’ll come... there is a count 4 left foot strikes in and four out thing in the podcasts, and on the app, but I prefer 4 in 3 out. You’ll find your rhythm, until then wheezing like me ain’t so bad 😂

The conversation thing works, but if you run alone be prepared for some strange looks lol

[Hidden in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Lol thanks! I'll try that breathing method

I was on my last 2 runs talking out loud to myself, telling myself I could do it. At that stage I didn't care who seen me lol!

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Established runners would really respect hearing that... I used to turn round and jog with random newbies back in the day when I was on a recovery run.

You can do it, and you can do it again, and if you can’t do it all you have to do is work at it until you can.
