W4R2 The best run of the training so far...
Went for my W4R2 run this morning. I was very pleased and it was nothing sort of a miracle , almost like a divine intervention. I started with the usual brisk walk and then got on with the first 5 minutes of first run. However I have felt stopping for a " rest" had broken my run in w4r1 so I used the " rest" (walk) phase to continue to run as I was feeling fine. My legs had not tired and most importantly I was breathing fine. Then came the second run and I carried on and then carried on running through the next walk phase as well and lo and behold before I realized I had run for 20 minutes flat.
I just could not believe it myself. I could have gone on to run another 5 minutes but I believe in running a little less than what you can actually run. My legs felt fine, I wasnt gasping for breath. It was a near perfect run.
Just in 4 weeks my endurance and stamina has steadily gone up.
Those who are starting this programme I can reassure you wholeheartedly that endurance and stamina does go up bit by bit.
