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.
