Wk6run3...worth the pain of run 1&2!

[embobs]

That was epic, just got into a rhythm and didn’t stop. Realised 10 minutes in I wasn’t even breathing heavily. I hated run 1 and 2 this week but I can see that they were necessary as I was ready for today. A little tear and she said I’m officially a runner ❤️🏃‍♀️

Hooray! Well done you! That's brilliant! Xx

Thank you xx How are you getting on?

[SubterraneanAlien Graduate in reply to embobs]

Well, I think I pushed it a bit on my last run and strained my achilles. It was sore until yesterday so I've rested. Bit sad as I feel like I'm losing momentum. I'm sure I can run on Friday though.

[embobs Graduate in reply to SubterraneanAlien]

I’m sure you’ll be fine, good luck for Friday and let me know how you get on. 👍🏻🏃‍♀️

Great job... those intervals set you up to run, and you’re there... just running now til the end! Enjoy week 7... you got this and then some.

[embobs Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

I’m feeling much more confident now and really enjoyed it, thank you x

Whoop, whoop!! Well done you👍🏻

Fantastic! This is so encouraging to read, we've just done week 6, Run 2 tonight and I have to say, I haven't enjoyed them as much as previous runs so I'm glad to hear they're worth it in the end! I trust the program 100% but I think I've decided that intervals are no longer my friend 😂

[embobs Graduate in reply to LolaMac81]

That’s exactly how I felt, both runs knocked my confidence a bit and I really didn’t enjoy them. Run 3 made me feel as good as I did before and then some! It still feels strange that am now glad ‘having a break’ is no longer part of my run! I’m a changed woman!

[LolaMac81 Graduate in reply to embobs]

Hopefully I will be saying the same come Friday...!! Well done to you, roll on week 7 👌

[embobs Graduate in reply to LolaMac81]

Go you! You’ll smash it xx

[Shakywakey Graduate]

Fantastic. You are a runner. You are doing great 👏👏

[ELSW73 Graduate]

So cool - it’s great when it suddenly clicks and you are in the zone.

I huffed and puffed the first 4-5 weeks, but when I hit week 6 then I knew I had found a sustainable pace and have been able to push on for longer times / distances

[embobs Graduate in reply to ELSW73]

That’s great, I’m looking forward to going faster when I’m ready!

[Marcia-H Graduate]

You couldn’t have wrote this at a better time! I so wanted to hear this after run 1 & 2 knocked my confidence. Run 3 is tomorrow! I really want to write a post like this!!!!

Sounds like a great run, well done!!!

[embobs Graduate in reply to Marcia-H]

You will love it. I just took it slowly. I even had some reserves to speed up in the last minute (Laura tells you to try it if you can!) I look forward to seeing your post tomorrow! Go for it! 👍🏻🏃‍♀️

Well done. I'm doing this run tonight. Wish me luck!
