Run 2 of week 1....could barely walk yesterday so was dreading my run today thinking I’d make a tit of myself BUT I did it, and I even got a little further before the half time bell rang!
Literally can not believe it, I even felt like a recovered quicker in the 90seconds between runs.
I changed the voice over to Jo Whiley and she was such a brilliant motivation. I liked that she gave her own experience of starting running.
Who do you used as your running voice over? Any recommendations?xxx
I use a Michael Jordan. Love his dulcet tones!
Well done on starting the program. Taken me ages to pull my finger out but just done my first run in week 1 - feel good!xx
I’ll try I’m next then! Haha!
Yay well done! We’re on the same week. We’ll have to give each other motivation to keep going!!! X
Yes!!! X
I have friends who are runners...but they are a lot more experienced. I feel a bit rubbish with them. Need people at my own level.
My next run in Friday. X
My brother in law is a runner but he’s just done the half marathon so well and truly not like me.
Yes me too, I like going out early morning- less people, more nature (I run by a canal) and also gives me a buzz for the day. X
That’s great. I go early too. 6am. A lot less people.
Just on my road at the moment but I have a massive Park next to my house.
The issue I know I will have is that I live in Sheffield and it’s very hilly. The park next to me does have a flat section.... at the top of the hill!
On the bright side - any hill you run up, even if you do it incredibly slowly, will make you fitter than just running on the flat. You'll be able to go faster on any flat bits then! 😁
