W4R3 - Emptying the tank & engaging nitro!! 🚀

[sHAYM4N]

So week 4 done! 😊 Very similar run today as wednesday. Decided to completely ignore myself about slowing down and just run like I had before. I hadn't felt uncomfortable with it, but defo feels like a workout, which I'm hoping will build stamina for next week.

Heard a few peeps talking about trying out a sprint finish, so when Laura had announced the last minute decided to empty up and engage the nitro. Nothing much at all there, no Mo Farah and in reality probably got an extra 3 or 4 steps out of it, but hey ho wanted to try and end the week on a high (knowing I'd got 2 days off til my next run on monday too) 👌

So next week and the dreaded 20 minuter! ⏰ I've done it before, and can do it again (my mantra for the next 7 days). I've done 16 mins each run this week (albeit with the 4 mins walking, so just got to think I can convert those runs into a jog and I'll do it. Will defo slow it down for that one!

Ironically it was W6R2 that killed me off last time, but one demon 👿 to face at a time.

Well done on completing W4! That's awesome.

What is this about a sprint finish?? I have W4R3 on Sunday and i'm not sure how I feel about sprinting :S

[sHAYM4N Graduate in reply to jiggles7]

Best of luck jiggles, sure you will beast it! Don't think about it, just see how you feel in the last 20-30 seconds. Sprint was very much an exaggeration (in my case anyway 😊)

[Now-runner_NeedsAttn Graduate in reply to jiggles7]

Oh yes, a sprint finish is mandatory

[jiggles7 Graduate in reply to Now-runner_NeedsAttn]

As mandatory as the ambulance required after I topple over.😝

You can do it!!

"empty up and engage the nitro"

[SamSam17 Graduate]

Congrats that’s great! Well done!

I have not run since Monday and but will do this run tonight.

[Katnap Graduate]

Is it better to know what's coming up or just let it happen?

I do W4R3 tomorrow.

I guess we should both stay confident and just do it. 😸👟👟👟👟😸

How hard can it be?

[Ibot in reply to Katnap]

Hmmmmm

[sHAYM4N Graduate in reply to Katnap]

yeah be confident, like I say this week its been 16 mins running, 2 runs before that to build up and its just the walking parts to convert to runs from this week, job done! (I hope)

I’m starting Sunday!! Do you think god would be cross 😡 I mean it’s a day of roasts and watching crappy films 🤫

Well done I’m very excited about Week 5 🤥🤥

Well done! One demon, one hill at a time

You can do it! The second time is easier
