Everyone was right, that run wasn’t quite as gruelling as the the first. It was still very hard but I didn’t want to die at the end! It really helped listening to a podcast over music, something I was interested in definitely helped take my mind away from noticing every step.

You definitely will Am3lia, I hadn’t exercised since school (now in my 40’s) like everyone says trust the plan. Some runs I’ve really wanted to give up but would be so disappointed with myself if I did, so have pushed beyond what I thought I could do and completed each one (so far!)

I did actively slow myself down this time, found myself speeding up slightly when going down slopes or when getting tired.

Great job... I’m finding spoken word better than music right now too. Enjoy closing week 4 out.
