Well week 4, I’d love to stay and chat, but week 5 needs its butt kicking. Nice knowing you.

Good run today, turbocharged finish too. Still hating the walking bit... need week 6 to arrive!

Today’s power song: Got the Time - Anthrax

Well done for being patient and not risking becoming one. Only 2 runs with walk intervals this week and then run 3 the big 20 minutes. I'm sure you'll bash it into surrender no problem. Week 6 has a walk on runs 1 and 2 then it's a 25 minuter Then nonstop all the way to the podium. Stay patient, just enjoy smashing each session as it comes and get lost in the rock and roll.

What? Weeks 7, 8 and 9 have no walking at all in them? Cripes. (OK, well week 9 I wasn't expecting any but still. 😜)

Well done on completing Week 4 UnfitNoMore!

Some folk like the idea not interrupting the run, some view it with apprehension. The beauty of the programme is when the time comes, you'll be ready.

Yeah, that 20 is in my crosshairs. The 8 and 8 is gonna frustrate me but I’ll do it properly. Strangely I liked intervals way back when it was jog, run... run, walk I know I don’t walk fast enough, and I’m usually pretty fast, then I cool slightly and the next run is against the shutdown of the calf muscles.

I really started to love it once the walking bits were done with - you get much more joy on the continuous runs and tons of smugness cos you can do it x

Well done!

Also finished week 4 today and also had Got the Time on playlist but the Joe Jackson version. I dragged myself through w4, didn’t power through like you!

Won’t give up though. I’m sure it will get better...

I only hit the power song at the end. The workouts are testing. We are doing it though! Week 5 is going down the same way. I’m looking forward to the tough one at the end. We can do it.

Not heard the joe Jackson version in years... I’ll start my next run with it.
