Week 5

[Gooner1971]

Just finished run 2 week 5. Felt exhausted after first 8 minutes but oddly not as bad after second one. Can’t imagine doing 20 minutes in 2 days based on how I felt after the first 8 minutes today!

You’re probably experiencing the “toxic 10” the first 10 or so minutes are often more difficult than the rest.

Well done today... that’s 2 8 minute runs with a 5 minute brisk walk in between... 21 minutes of raised heart rate. Next run is technically less from your body’s point of view. Trust the plan, believe in yourself, go slow and keep the pace down.

Trust the plan and believe in yourself.

You can do it.

I’m in the same position. I’m scared of the 20 mins run.

[Gooner1971 in reply to Milllly]

I’m doing the run on Wednesday morning. Fingers crossed

[Milllly in reply to Gooner1971]

Good luck! Ruuuuun!

[Gooner1971 in reply to Milllly]

Did it. I started really slowly and then settled into a steady pace, even sped up at the end. Amazing! Good luck for tomorrow

[Milllly in reply to Gooner1971]

Wow! Well done. That’s brilliant.

I did it. But I hated it. lol.

[Gooner1971 in reply to Milllly]

Well done, sorry you hated it but onwards and upwards!! 😁👍

[Jogunlikely Graduate in reply to Milllly]

Awesome job! 👏👏🤜 You did it and that's the main thing. Back to intervals for w6

[Milllly in reply to Jogunlikely]

How did you do?

[Jogunlikely Graduate in reply to Milllly]

Got delayed as called in to do baby sitting. Plan to do today at work. Brought my running outfit and realised I left my trainers at home 🤬🤬🤬

Will decide later weather to run outside tonight in the dark (Not done that before 😱) or go to Pilates tonight and run after work tomoz. I really really would like to do this on the downs. Not sure why it's significant 🤷‍♀️ so may leave work early tomoz. I will let you know 😀

[Milllly]

Hated it. But did it. Feel ok now I’m finished but it wasn’t fun.
